The point where you are just getting to the top of a hill and the cranks start getting easier to spin, then flying down the hill using your brakes only when you need to gain control/fix your line. Taking your body and bike to the limit... That's why I love it.

i dont even do that i just go crazy lol. but the top of the hill bit is always awesome

haha i love doing that, usually on this one trail i would have used the brake in this super tech section but one day i thought "well, lets see what happens if i charge it" and after a few times where i almost pooped a little i realised i just made it out of the section alive, and i dont use the brake on the whole trail since then, too bad its the only proper AM trail around here

i like it when u reach the top of the hill. Then ur looking down on a crazy awsome view and a good descent cuz ur up so high. then u just begin to roll down, too tired to pedal until waking ur body up saying ive made it and beginning ur descent.

I like getting dead tired on all day rides

I also like taking my 40lb bike and going faster uphill and downhill faster then the ignorant lycra wearing xc geeks. Not saying everyone who wears lycra is a jerk, but the typical lycra wearer's in my area tend to be snobs.

I can see where your coming from because i have only met one lycra wearing person who was ok this was by luck i fell of on a trail racing them and a bunch of xcrs went past and out of all of them must of been 15 only one stopped the others just rode on as if i was scum .

i like to rip, up or down - it doesn't matter... small natural kickers... rock gardens (both directions)... sliding with both tires... pinning it down on close to vertical walls - and then trying to ride it up... close 180° corners both directions... drops... pumping the trail

as long as it's technical Fab

Iv actually tried lycra under a pair of soccer, football shorts, whatever you call it and they actually felt really good.
