 did you ever see the world championship course at Canberra? It was full of completely flat pedaling sections and few technical spots. Sam Hill was running an SX trail.

 no i dont really follow dh racing much. its kind of sad seeing it go that way i like it better when it was really techincal rough terrain and you needed all the suspension and braking power you could get...

 Its because it runs angled or an offset headset so it looks bent because it isn't parallel with the headtube. But if you follow it to the stem, shes straight.
