Video: Hucking to Flat in Urban DH Races

 For sure, ht's can shred the streets just as hard!

 More Kudos to the guy on the marin with a prosthetic leg!

 Except the need to use near-superhuman skill and reflexes to dodge obstacles while traveling at warp speeds. The main difference is that video games are digital and mountain biking is... not.

 Just to put things in perspective:

Yeah... tons of hucks to flat haha

 Show me one, everything was squashed

 why have i got negative props?

 When i see those Marin i know i would see him. Props to him for the love of the sport

 My cousin uses them, because of the inverse tread pattern they are a lot thicker than normal tyres and weigh a f***ing tonne, not what you want in a race run really, so the huge rotational mass probably outweighs the grip benefit. I see your thinking though

 try dmr motos for urban riding or other dj tires, not too heavy and no knobbles that need cutting off.

 The weight saving doesn't seem like a reasonable argument, because most DH tyres are also around that weight.

DMR Moto's would probably be to snakebitey. Great tyres, but for pure stair hucking something bigger should be better. Also thicker sidewalls means you can run lower air pressure, so more grip and more smooth rides.

At the first glance I would also say I'd run Hookworms, but I think they probably have much less grip on stairs (especially for braking). The knobs of a DH tyre actually grab the edges of the stairs creating a lot more grip, where slicks would maybe start slipping faster.

 i found the hookworm not as grippy as i hoped. its like you are relying on just a single dense tread point verse a knobby with several spread out points, like multiple fingers tips that each feel out to find purchase. they roll fast! like sh!t off a shovel.

 Because , sponsorship. And also DH tyres generally have the best side wall construction

 Mattin - Good point about the nobbles grabbing the stairs! ...didn't think of that. I reckon a good best of both worlds option might be to use a normal DH tyre but cut the centre nobbles right down, but still leave the outside nobbles to grab the stair lips.

 Czechs kicking ass again Cammy!

 111 days boss!

 Yep its fast approaching man!
