*Ding* *Ding* *Ding* we have a winner !
Mountain bikers aren't fit? Look at the rider with yellow shoes on the steep bit. A riders centre of mass is about belly button area. Look where the com is in relation to the front contact patch. Would take much for him to endo. He could have his butt further back and a dropper post would be a good idea. Some of these riders may not be technically good riders, but suggesting that fitness does not equal technical riding skill is just wrong. The top World Cup riders are immensely skilled. The top World Cup dh riders are immensely fit.
