That's like, your opinion maaan. I loved that they were (and are) the bad-ass, DH tinted mag too. They have always been at the forefront regarding awesome mountain bike mag journalism (Vital/Littermag too, just not in print!) .Just think back to when Dirt was still getting it's legs, the bikes/racing/tracks they were hot and bothered over have grown into your modern day DJ/Slopestyle/4X/Dual Slalom, "enduro" and DH bikes. They never left the behind-the-scenes look at DH, they just started covering more rad, fun to ride bikes and events. Don't be such a curmudgeon. Long live Dirt Mag!!!
