Opinion: Mitch Ropelato Wins Fontana DH On a 29er Trail Bike
Well this might piss some people off but its the truth!!!!! I say it was the DH course designers fault. Race courses (dh or cc) are being built way to smooth and easy now days.
A couple years back a guy won the cross country short track event on a road bike.
The track designers need to go back to school and the root of mtn. biking.
DH is all about a nasty, fast, kiss your butt goodbye course, with a pedal at the start not the end.
Maybe we need new designers or some of the old DH race course designers to step up and show these people how to build an actual race course. Be it Cross Country or DH.
The situation is kinda funny in a way. Just think with the course designers we have now, DH will be raced with 4" travel bikes next. Maybe even DH hardtails will make a come back.
