Me: STOP PAVING THE SHORE! YOU'RE MAKING IT TOO SMOOTH! Them: Sir, if you'd kindly step off the Norco Range, you'll see that this is actually a double black tech trail...
So many awesome bikes like this out now and continuing to come out that can be pedaled up instead of shuttled while shredding the same trails... my question still lies in "who can pedal uphill for more than 2 minutes in a full-face helmet??" Maybe I just don't know how to breathe?
The full face he is wearing might be tough, but almost all mid to high level enduro races require full face helmets and you must wear them the entire time you are on your bike. I own the Smith Mainline. It is very breathable and honestly not that bad to ride all day in. There are others like it designed as light duty full face helmets rather than a full DH helmet with few vents. Also, enduro racers are insanely fit athletes.
