@ginbraiba xc is more like about like how fit u are not realy about bike skill but dh u dont have t be as fit but DH takes more skill and balls

@ginbraiba Downhill people have their merit! but i totally agree with you on your coment

[ginbraiba]

i would like to see a downlhiller climb for about 1h non stop over load and rocks and mud ..lol. i can asure you that some xc racers are crazy downhillers with 80mm forks..in my opinion xc its by farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrr more technic then downhill

I went from XC to downhill. did downhill for quite a while. but went back to XC. XC require much more teqnicue. From my point of view.. Downhill is great fun, and ofc there is teqnicue there too. But its easyer getting good at downhill then XC I did XC for a few years now, and still there are some hills I can't climb. where on the other hand after a few months of downhilling I took everything near where i live.

But its gayish saying XC is easy. Cus it aint.

Cheers

i agree with WEBBZfromPANTERA. they are goin fasta up da hill then they are down the hill! ill give it to ya you do have the physical stamina to go for ages but its not about who can last the longest its who is the fastest!

xc'ers never stand up while going down a hill always nose dive never do jumps nd look pathetic! nyone can cyle up a hill but not every one can speed down a trail off da side of a mountain!+ dh is nakering if u dont get a lift up nd walk the bike down like shown in dis video

all you thinkin downhill is better than xc, downhill is just lazy. bomb it down a hill and get a ski lift to the top. us xcers can do everythin. :) ride hard ppl!

WEBBZfromPANTERA is a bit too cool for school. no need for the negative vibes. each to their own.

[WEBBZfromPANTERA]

Yehr and that's fair going mate. I'm not knocking XC at all, I just think some bloke gets on a bike, doesn't know anything and yet he can ride up a hill and call it XC. a good XC rider could do it all, and i respect the fact you can combine them, becuase XC riders really do look hopeless out of the saddle lol

[dko687]

well, i disagree. You just can't really compare downhill and xc -.- It simply requires different skills...
