No. It's not. Cyclocross, at its best is about choices. Running is one choice. Sometimes it's the only choice. The problem here is that you're wrong about cyclocross but are unwilling to entertain the possibility that you have more to learn from and about cyclocross than it does form you.

And bunny hopping is not "hazardous acrobatics." It's not that dangerous.

I also do not dislike steep descents and don't want them taken out of races. I want to get better at riding my damn bike, so I can race better.

Keep 'cross rad.
