The Argument For Short Travel Bikes - Opinion
Ok sure we know little bikes are fun. As a bmxer for over 30 years now I get that. But since when was riding a DH rig not fun? And what about peeps that actually like the feeling of riding longer travel bikes?
If I'm heading out on an xc ride with slower riders often i'll take the big bike just to slow me down and make me work harder. One old school local legend guy here used to take his intense m1 out on the Saturday bunch ride just to depress the roadies... And yes he smoked them...
Yes i suppose little bikes in gravity parks are fine if your sponsor/mummy buys you a new bike every season or you ride like a pussy... but they don't last that long with harder use. I've got a small bike graveyard in my shed to back that up...
I'm lucky to be able to own and ride all types of bikes (except road bikes cause they suck and yes i just said that :P ) and to be honest i have the same fun on all of them as really its the people i ride with that counts more to me. If your not having fun on whatever bike either your local spot is lame, your too fat, or your mates suck.
That's not a reason to hate on DH rigs though.

Graham Agassiz's New Zealand Adventure
totally agree with nzstormer. Canada has more chair lifts but gorge rd trails beat the whistler dirt jump park... Cool to see Nelson tracks. Insane spots round there and people - yes Derek W i mean you :D

Jamaica Fat Tyre Festival 2011 - Part 2
I spent end of last year working at blue mt site. we were living in paradise with the best trails in the world and we never rode up hills... seriously doubt my life will ever be that good again... miss my trail crew so much. they'd build the track as fast as i could walk through the jungle and dream it up!
i've been lucky to see some amazing places around the world on a bike but Hagleys was my favourite. Bambaclaat :D
