Video: The Wettest Pinkbike Hot Lap with Mark Wallace

 Anyone else getting Dirt Magazine 1:04 DH track vibes from this series...

 Ehm, I'll pass the celebs. The only "celebs" I want to see in mountain biking are the ones who actually are celebs because of mountain biking. Nobody needs that TG shit.

 I don't know man it looks like Marshawn Lynch has some pretty competitive times the Seattle area Strava scene

 @gootytown: Who?

 @gootytown: #skittlespowered#tastethe rainbow

 @Archimonde: No way, get Kanye up there on a 2005 Giant Rincon and watch the magic happen.

 No celebrity or politics. This is my bike-only safe space.

 @husstler: Only if you send him down a Rampage run with no helmet

 ..

 @partswhore: Marshawn Lynch. He's bout that action.

 Get Guy Martin to do the hot lap!

 Sounds like avid juicy 5 to me

 @ibishreddin: brand new build, likely not bed in properly

 I thought that I was watching an episode of RealTree outdoors with all that turkey calling

 @ibishreddin: thinking about my time with this brake makes me shiver.

 The same brakes you could win on the Dec 1 advent calendar...

 @ LOL

 @ibishreddin: AAAAAAHA

 Thought exactly the same thing! Feel much better about my use of brakes through techy sections now

 I liked that we could hear when/how/where he was braking.

 probably cause the brakes are cold and wet when he stops to look at stuff. Mine get noisy when wet but quiet down once they heat up.

 @avcb: exactly. My Guides scream during the start of a shuttle lap as they burn off the prior run.

 It's always epic,,I'm so glad the "bad weather's" here! The more adverse the looser!

 But... They look silly

 @spaceofades: no they don’t. What does look stupid is when your on pinkbike taking loads in the face.

 I've got contacts. It's a must. never take it off

 Volvo collab.

 I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you havent ridden credit line before.. Rain is most certainly a handicap on this trail!

 @gnarnaimo: I guess you don't understand what I actually mean.

 @idiot84: state what you mean instead of guessing that the guy didnt understand have a nice day

 @Jolinwood: well there should be some smilies instead of the questionmarks

 @idiot84: I get it
Wet pink
Bikes

 @idiot84: I see what you did there

 @idiot84: who's the idiot now!? Haha.. Me..I mean me

 Actually the results are surprisingly consistent with what you see in Enduro and DH. As well as being able to produce more power, men have (on average) faster reactions, increased visual acquity when discerning motion and movement and they are less risk averse. Also, (although there are statistical nuances to this that require too much detail to go into here) because there tend to be far more men competing than women at most levels, elite men are typically that bit more "seasoned" and innovative in their methods to gain a competitive edge.

 @Deuce-DeuceAndAHalf: Cool. Thanks for the solid answer.

 @Layman: I think it mostly comes down to power. Men are stronger than women and can put more weight into pedal strokes, pump harder, and they're heavier which can translate into momentum. I often fall behind the guys even though i can clear all the same jumps and obstacles as they can, and generally it seems to come down to guys just being able to put down more horsepower. It's like a 1000cc 4 cylinder Superbike versus a 600cc supersport.
On motorcycles i tend to be able to hold my own better against men, but even then i tire out sooner than they do when we hit multiple high g corners in rapid succession.
