Do you want to come to a DH race in SoCal and test that theory? :D
By mtn bike race I of course mean one where you actually pedal.

i was just pointing out that the fallacy of DH riding = no pedalling is just that. it's an anaerobic 3-5 minutes of sheer hell, depending in the course and yr talent.

does this post make you feel better?

I've ridden Platty and Mtn Creek, raced NO, on a DH bike NO.

You called? I have never pedaled harder on a downhill section in my life on that last race I did. Granted, yes, an xc race has waaaaaaaaay more pedaling, but don't discredit DH'ers. Pure explosive power.
