Odinson Posted September 9, 2019 Share The UCI needs to start sanctioning Pierron for his pants situation. Every round is a moose knuckle fest. slickjay007 and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJacques Posted September 9, 2019 Share I know that skin suits are banned for their aero effect (and I'm glad we don't have to see the racers in them), but how much could they maybe gain from making the bikes more aero? It doesn't seem to be a big focus with dh racing. For starters, that huge number plate at the front has to create some drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem to be a big focus with dh racing. For starters, that huge number plate at the front has to create some drag.funnily enough, Ben Cathro can answer that question for you, and IIRC, he mentioned a while back that the time savings going cat suit is big: almost double digit seconds worth. In other words, it makes mid pack riders look like contenders. But does it look cool? no hell no. so it don't fly.current gear is coming close though.

Odinson Posted September 9, 2019 Share This video is a few years old already, but the results are actually insane. https://youtu.be/Loi3L_Uai9o If memory recalls, the UCI made a conscious effort to emulate the look of MX in DH, so that's why they did away with the skin suits. I also think things like peaked helmets are compulsory. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Capricorn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted September 9, 2019 Share Do the rules not state that you need to be able to grab a fist full of the clothing ....... not sure who of you want to grab a fist full of Pierron though!. Capricorn and Headshot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted September 9, 2019 Share Talking about rules... @Nigelhicks a while back explained the rules around hosting a uci world cup event. .. race village had to be close to a town and the venue had to be within 2 hours or something if an international airport...Snowshoe if in the middle of nowhere. Nearest international airport 3 hours away Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted September 9, 2019 Share I'm still fantasizing about a DHWC at Jonkers. Track to start at the upper Saaltjie aerials - more than enough steepness and drop for a gnarly track. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
