 Cross country frame for dual slalom... Original

 Classic method for classic event... there was a time you raced EVERYTHING on one bike... which makes me wonder if the guy who raced the dual slalom on a fat bike (and won his category) did the DH and XC races on it also.

 Yes... but this is the KAMIKAZE GAMES !!! If you don't understand the history of the location and event, you shouldn't be commenting at all. Or even the racing format.... XC frames have been used in dual slalom for twenty years by MANY top pros.

 I raced NORBA on several XC hardtails...there was a hand full of people who had slalom specific frames (Spooky, Arrow Racing, Storm Cycles). @Kona-Stinker-Dude Times do change 2nd place pro was won on a XC 650b bike!

 I'm not saying what bike to race. Just bugs me when you old guys (bring on the neg) say back in the day blah blah blah. Who cares what they did then, now is what matters

 Yes, and today what mattered was that the guy who won the DH race on a 650B nearly did the same in the dual slalom, and that the only hardtail models KHS (his bike sponsor) have are XC frames... and the majority of folks who do dual/4x racing still do so on hardtails. Times may change, but dual slalom is still raced the same way now as it was two decades ago. First one across the finish wins the heat/race, and there's no need to use full suspension wonders when for the typical manicured courses, a hardtail does it better. I wouldn't be shocked if more folks used 29ers as they're perfect for holding momentum around banked turns and taking short jumps with little loss of speed (and that's effectively what that guy on the fat bike was on... 26 x 4" tires are about 29" inflated diameter).

 Cc frames are pretty much the sandard buddy, so its nothin new mr red burn. And sorry deeeight, not to sound harsh, but that comment is kind of irrelevant

 Everything I do, I do on one bike. HT FMBs are the "Swiss Army knife" of bicycles. Stinker, it kinda looks like the community wants you to take your ignorance elsewhere.

 Damn, I can't believe what they were pulling on a jump that doesn't appear to be very big. Was that a 720 truck in there???
