The Latest Tech From the Mont Sainte Anne DH World Cup - Does Weight Matter?
Contrary to what we've been fed for decades, a low CG doesn't make a bike maneuverable, it makes it stable. Moto GP found this out way back in the '80s. You want mass to rotate, not move laterally during cornering transitions. Too low, and it becomes difficult to move quickly, which equals stability.
Off topic, maybe, but there, I said it.

Throwback Thursday: Fox's Upside Down Prototype Downhill Fork
I think the problem isn't axle stiffness, but that it's far too easy for the torsional forces to flex both the uppers and lowers, causing them to 'scissor'. A bigger and bigger axle can make the fork too laterally stiff, taking away cornering traction. They need a solution to the twisting between the uppers and lowers if an UD fork is ever going to be the best option.

Video: Friday Fails #181
the lesson is:
19mph = bad case to OTB
19.1mph = massive overshoot, dead-sailor into the trees
I will never leave the ground again.
