@MeTaLcOrE1616 It really depends on the rig you use. Hardtails are mainly single track and cross country, then you have the quality of you're rig, DOWNHILL has quickly become more extreme with terrain that would wreck a hardtail on it's first run. My opinion would be that to complete, safely, a recognised downhill run with a hardtail would require a lot of control and skill and would definately result in replaceing parts more often and you're frame WILL GET HAMMERED.
These guys are so slow i could ride my fixie down these hills with no suspension and beat them, then I woke up and realize I was in a fucked up dream!!
@TheNoobB0x Also there is one more very important aspect of the head tube, Its angle. The more "slack" the forks are (pointed out, away from you) the better high speed stability, and better your bike will take rock gardens. However is your bike has a very "steep" head tube (forks are more vertical) your low speed stability will be high.
As for the "size" of the forks, what exactly do you mean by that?
@TheNoobB0x I have been racing DH for 6 years now. I can help you with your questions.
If your getting a frame with a 1" Head Tube, it not a full DH bike. The 3 biggest fork manufactures (Marzocchi, Rockshox, and Fox) only produce forks with a steer tube in 2 sizes: 1" 1/8 and 1.5"
As for the 120mm Head tube, it sounds like that is the length of it. When you are racing you want the bike as low to the ground as possible. So a shorter Headtube will achieve this.
@thirdtrip2 most downhillers use flats, and they are coming back on the xc scene as well, I'm a platform guy myself, can't imagine going over the handlebars and having my bike land on me :O
@valandilcamcacil well, i could safely say that my nike and I could do this track, only i would have to go VERY slowly, and might have to go around some of the jumps. But really, many mountain bike cyclists can handle these tracks, its just that the Pros do it better, quicker and probably have more equipment and experience!
try a used bike from e-bay or craigslist. yer not gonna get anything from a bike shop for under 500 thats really gonna hold up if you want to do more than singletrek.
made me want to tuck my junk between my legs and spin around the room like a fucking pole smoker - jesus fucking christ what kind of biker listens to this faggot shit?
Can anyone give me some advice please? I have a Schwinn hardtail which I really like but I'm getting more into downhill stuff. My budget is under £1000 and I'm looking for something that can handle fairly rugged downhill routes aswell as being comfy on the uphills and xc stuff. I'm not looking to do anything really extreme like big jumps but I need something strong. Thanks!
has any one seen sam hills specialised big hit 3? its absolutly wiked, iv'e tride one out at a bike demo day, there so easy to control and glide round corners,
That little tacker there may be a world champ when he grow up :D he rules!
man those pieces of engineering masterpiece are amazing, so well designed. the riders are incredibly skilled. seeing the rebound from the front shock makes me salivate - its like it is bouncing around all by itself, seperate from the bike. awesome rebound, awesome bikes, awesome riders. Great Vid!!
Those tracks look awesome, you would get a great adrennaline rush.
I've had contact from the Canadian rider who fell and she made a full recovery. the clip is a single moment in what was otherwise a very safe and enjoyable day,
