@alwayslivingthedream: I'm really shocked how little protection gloves offer, nobody seems to make a decent downhill glove. Hands are damn important but nobody seems to want to make protection for them.

Good, but not nearly as good as last weeks

Crazy people

I spotted a scooter with a DIY 2x4 mountain bike carrying rack the other day at the bike park

I was at trestle the other week and met a 67 year old man who took up downhill 5 years ago so he could ride with his grandson. Dude was in full kit and admittedly stuck to blue trails with hopes of one day doing blacks but was still worried. Hes broken some bones but surprisingly they healed in a normal amount of time. I just thought the dude was awesome, I'm half his age and the thought of broken bones already makes me want to play it safe.

Hey, I don't stand around and post selfies just for fun. Its just something I do as I'm catching my breath after the commute from the parking lot to the lift.

I'm sure there are some people out there who find climbing just as fun but I do know the downhill parks are more crowded than the local fire roads\up hills so its obviously not a majority.

@g123: However none of what you said at all has to do with climbs being more fun. You just listed off reasons why someone should\does do climbs.

@chinaboy: hey man, some of those parking spots are really far away. Make sure you stay hydrated on those long climbs :D
