patches Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 i donno dude ... if you havent yet ... go give it a try ... its a JOL ... you dont need a DH bike ... actually a lot of the Europe Guide say that a 140-160mm trail bike is perfect ...  It has been a tough choice, deciding which bike to take to Morzine. The 160mm AM bike, or the DH bike?! But because I'm not a real MTBer (as stated by TZ), I'll use the ski lifts, haha  so I think full DH rig it is!

Danger Dassie Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Maybe not for all styles of MTB, but A.M. was pretty much correct.Besides, with the growth in one area of mountain biking it lays the groundwork for other areas. We already see a more people getting into the trail/all mountain side of things. Pure XCO is starting to take off again as well.Trails are developing more and more, the potential is there for all riding, the sport is in a healthier state than it has been in a long time. Pedals, knobbly tyres, two wheels, dirt, outdoors, fun ? ... It's mountain biking who gives a toss what the jocks want to say what 'real' mountain biking is.

Something about it not mattering what type of riding you do. As long as you are pedalling on two wheels you are adding to the collective. Or something... Danger Dassie 1

patches Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 running (like black bars, rims and silver spokes) is for poor people!

And I have spent many many hours riding on the road but you know that because you were there too.

And will most certainly NOT be competing at SA Duathlon Champs next month (sorry Patches). Ok ok it's all true - I even have a TT helmet. I'm so ashamed.
