i just love to ride. when i'm writing a bloody 4000 word assignment or stuck in a crap & boring lecture there's nothin better than thinkin bout some serious bike porn or whippin through some serious single track in stealth mode. & when i do get away from the books i don't even think bout what type of riding i'm going to do. infact every ride i go on incorporates everythiing. XC out to ya fav hill, jumping and manualing absolutely everything on the way there then DH down your choice of mtn pickin spastic lines & going as fast as possible, then XC home, including some more jumps, berms & climbs on the way to your beer filled fridge.
I think this is why alot of the Aussie pro's are so up there. They simple do a bit of everything evry time they get on the bike. And as 4 Dh'ers being more talented than FR's. yeah i think so. you goto think that all the skills a DH posses is amplified by ...... heaps i supose cause of the speed factor when comparing to FR i reckon.
