Ahh, makes sense then.The downhill MTB is angled way back and has suspension with super long travel designed for downhill courses. With a standard MTB you will be leaning much farther forward, and have quite a bit less travel on your suspension, making it much easier for you to fall forward and bottom out your shocks. I think downhill MTB's are geared quite a bit differently since they are really only designed for downhill.
look at the crazy angle on this one http://www.leisurelakesbikes.com/con...bike_2016.jpeg
If these people had a standard MTB, they would be leaning farther forward and more likely to wreck. http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.imdserve.co...11s-700-80.jpg
I think it's silly that they don't use the 60fps feature that would make their videos even more amazing.
It's like using a really nice computer for solitaire.
Maybe. My riding clips were kind of slow and boring because I was checking out the area to see how the riding conditions were. I also got started way later than I wanted and didn't have my time to do anything. The trails were washed out and rutted like crazy making for an awful ride. Not being able to get to my trails because of the snow didn't help things either.
Yeah, well just for the future. And get a drone to get aerial shots!
