some people are just really fast even on "normal" bikes. the guy who has the Mountain Lion lap record is clearly not on a DH bike given the uphill bits and all. and he's like 2 minutes faster than me (over 10-12 min) on the DH segment.

If it’s the section of the run that I am thinking of, there are two small, punchy steep climbs that are easily rideable on an ‘enduro’ bike, but would be a total bitch on a dedicated DH bike.
Or is it just the gut?

When faced with utter darkness, the faintest light shines bright.

it's the first section. gut has no real uphills. at least one of those climbs would be impossible on a DH bike as it's probably 100' vert and steep.
