(Deon) Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Nah, this doesn't need to be a poll. I just want to show my appreciation for the discipline of Downhill! This sport has risen so fast to the top of event calendars, it is bewildering... and to think we [sA] have some of the best riders, blows me away. Now don't get me wrong, XC has and will always be a premium event, but it is only fitting that it shares some of the limelight with it's equal! To all the SA representatives excelling worldwide in MTB, well done guys!

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Picture a man going on a journey beyond sight and sound...... to infinity and beyond...
(Deon) Posted June 29, 2011 Author Posted June 29, 2011 to infinity and beyond... ..and back.. What? did I just bump my own thread? Seriously, look at these all-mountain bikes.. slimmed down DH rigs! That sport has pushed everyone's riding in a really short space of time.. the final frontier.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 the force is strong in this one...
DJR Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Hydraulic brakes, front and rear suspension, riser bars, knee & elbow pads, big Nevegals, through axle, can-do attitude, those are the everyday things I take for granted on my trailbike, and they all came my way via downhill.

Igggzackertally! My weirwolfs, riser bars (soon to be) shortened stem, carbon-reinforced gloves and soon to be reincarnated Wellgo flat pedals. Damn. Mine doesn't sound nearly as good.

DJR Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Forgot about the armoured full finger gloves and the wrist guards (I make my living with my hands, and a bit of brains too.)
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Ack! Forgot about the lock-on grips & tubeless conversions
(Deon) Posted June 29, 2011 Author Posted June 29, 2011 Ack! Forgot about the lock-on grips & tubeless conversions yes indeed, this sport has given a lot.

DaLoCo Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Way too much giggle twig in this thread.... DH and MTB got everything from road
DJR Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Ack! Forgot about the lock-on grips & tubeless conversionsTubeless from downhill? Thought those were invented by the weight weenie racing snakes.
