I don't see this thing as an identity crisis. I see the Pros that don't want to wear the skinsuit. They don't like it. It ends here.

That that some think that the skinsuit is such a big part of DH's identity, makes one think that you get nostalgic at the glory days of US DH?




Just teasing..

Hell yeah I miss the glory days b/c they were the glory days for me too- angry, in shape, fast, no wife or kids to care about if I get hurt. Every time I see a skin suit I get all warm and fuzzy inside! (You can take that statement any way you want


But I thought a bunch of pros wore them in worlds last year, or am I having a flashback??

Alizee, bitches and money?

I wish, instead they are all about the type of brakes you use, ensuring that your frame has two triangles, and how much your bike weighs

The same goes for DH/Roadracing, I think. It´s VERY different. Skinsuit has a minimal effect on endurance in DH, but is a HUGE advantage in roadracing. DH is won when a rider nails all corners and smoothes out the rough sections. This is very important I think, to put the energy in the right direction. Skinsuits have nothing to do with this. Of coarse it´s more aerodynamic, everybody knows that. It´s just a very, very uncreative way of looking at our sport.

I like youre responces, your not trying to tell me, that is I decide to wear Skinsuit I am commiting an act of homosexuality. Thats why I am coming down on Rockwool, everything he keeps saying is that the skinsuit has NOTHING to do with DH, everything to do with being a queer. And he just cant seem to handle the fat that he is wrong and a Homophobe.

Here is two instances I feel a skinsuit would be benefical. One, of coarse, super windy coarses, thats a given as to why. Two, what about long, HOT HOT coarses. Imagine being able to shed your body heat, and having even more energy near the end of the run to keep stompingout more power, shaving more time off your run..... More energy, more power.







Just to clarify for everyone, I am not trying to battle that a skinsuit is a huge aerodynamic advantage, I am just hitting back everytime Someone responds with"Its just gay, there is no other way to see it"... They are too insecure with there own sexuality to deal with someone else curves.....



Oh by the way, follow Peatie, youll see the skin suits comeout of the closet when there needed....

Coming from lycra, I was positively surprised by the airflow in motostyle clothes (f.i. royal, troy lee). So, I never felt the need to go back, even on very hot dyas. But, again that is of coarse individual, and a probebly a good argument for using lycra.

Win...or look cool? Racing=winning. Skinsuits=winning. I like skinsuits because I like winning.
H

if you wear a skinsuit will win more races. its proven. oh wait.

You just got an itch going within me.

Are you trying to tell people around you something? You wear skinsuits and go by the name of DirtyMike. Are you hoping to become the 6th Village People member?

Why don't you just come out with it? All that anger inside you..

Monkeys please, I personally have adressed THAT issue several times in this thread (and probably others with me) and that's why I've been shouting FORCE so many times. Come on, you've read the whole thread, haven't you?

The skinsuit was indeed needed at Ft Bill. Still...

Nah, you don't know them like I know them, they're really hearty inside.

Eh....it's a mel brooks movie? You know, supposed to be funny?

So much for trying to lighten the mood. Some panties you just can't un-bunch.

For those worried about Fox and other moto clothing makers leaving I do not see that happening. The skinsuits would be for race run and practice only. Just out riding for the weekend riders would use the moto gear. I would never wear a skinsuit while just out riding for the weekend. The skinsuits would be for putting on the game face and going for it against the clock.

Rockwool, you have done nothing but prove you are a stoned homophobe in this thread. You have had no valid arguments(nobody said skinsuits would be forced on riders) and lost any respect. Here is a bag of Doritos go away.

Most companies that make moto style gear also make lycra stuff, Fox included. Their sponsored riders would be wearing their gear no matter what

Brilliant movie.

This thread has some comedy gold in it, and some good old ignorant moronic bashing of anyone who disagrees with you, excellent entertainment!:beerjam:

Very true statament. Would rep this one, but I must spread rep first!!!
