good. skinsuits are gay as hell. i mean seriously, unless we're talking about camel toes of course, cmon, those suits embarrasing as hell to look at, let alone wear.
dh racing has an image problem amongst non mountain biking people as it is, mostly because of limited tv coverage and the fact most fat f*cks wouldn't climb up the side of a hill to watch a race, but having the racers coming down the hill looking like they are smuggling plums in the process, is lame. but whatever, im sure theres gonna be a coupla guido's on here disagreeing because they love to show the sausage whenever possible.

for those that don't know what the real skin suites are.The skin suites we see today are made out elastic materials but the real suites are made out off leather(lycra) and the Orange Mojo team are a good example off those skin suites,those are wear by the Mojo orange team

It's the World Championships, not a f*cking fashion show. The racers don't care what they look like, because they have bigger things on their mind, such as being the World Champion. All this homophobic shit on pinkbike is making me sick.

As for if its actually a new rule, I doubt it. It would be too hard to implement. How do you differentiate between a skin suit and a tight T-shirt? Skin suit bottoms and tight shorts?

in bmx you have to be able to pinch 3cm of material on the forearms without stretching the material

would work the same for mtbs
