I highly doubt he just rode right to the top of that CrashProned. And you are dumb to talk shit about a DHer not being able to climb. Should we make fun of ur spandex wearing ass that cant ride your weenie XC down a real trail? Get a clue

CrashProned (Aug 11, 2010 at 17:57)

@loaded..ive never even touched spandex, my xc trail happens to have stairs i ride up and down, a 7 foot gap over a thin creek, and its like a dh coarse except its half up hill. so shut the f*ck up. and yes mtb1stdegree...i always do have something to say. it comes from a brain and mouth that both function. oh and just because i have only ridden dh once (only because i dont have a f*cking car yet or a dh bike) doesnt mean im a weenie.

mitchell-davidson (Aug 11, 2010 at 18:17)

don't rip on DHers then, and yes i am a DHer and i can ride up mountains to thats what a did before. So as you apparently said use that brain of yours and think before you write things. btw I looked at your bike and there is no way you ride anything tough, im a Dher and still have a 2k xc bike

+ 0

CrashProned (Aug 11, 2010 at 18:22)

lol. im not saying my bike holds up...im saying i use it for harder than its meant. thats why im saving up to make a dmr exalt!! lol ht dh. haha. im moving to. so i can dh. i dont mean to rip on the downhillers...they just shouldnt rip on the cross country people. both forms are valid and just as hard as the other one. just in different ways. i guarantee most xc riders have more stamina then dh riders...dh riders are capable of doing more difficult terrain but for less time.

psyclist Mod Plus (Aug 11, 2010 at 18:28)

Look! All this shit between DH'ers and XC'ers has to stop, I ride XC but respect you DH guys for the balls you have to do your discipline, also I know DH'er which do XC to train for DH, like pinkbike user xclegs-dhballs, and my personal friends, Just chill everyone.
