I was looking on Litter mag and saw a feature that read:
"The industry still hasnt learned that by embracing DUAL SLALOM over the combat-heavy MTX (or 4x), they will sell more short-travel, gravity suspension bikes because participation will increase. Heres why: Very few downhillers make the cross over into gated racing because they dont want their season cut short by Guido Tschugg or any other dip**** with a hard-on for contact. Look at any combo event with both DS and DH, and youll see the downhillers will participate. 4x is dumb. Companies, when you make the move, I get 2% of slalom bike sales."
I'm not necessarily talking about increasing slalom bike sales, even though that is probably a positive by-product of switching over. But do you guys think that switching from "combat-heavy MTX" to Dual slalom would bring back some attention to the sport in world cup racing and local/national racing and would get more racers involved. And in turn, get resorts to start actually caring about Dual slalom.
Lets the discussion.......................... BEGIN!
