I gotta say being what most people would call a DH guy these days. I've gotten destroyed far worse in road wrecks than I ever have in DH. Things happen so fast and you can hit the ground before you even know your going to fall...plus you're hitting at a higher speed usually than off road and on pavement...wood-dog said:

yeah downhillers usually average around 30 mph on most courses. roadies hit 30 quite easily in a sprint. the speeds are higher so it's harder to react in time.Zutroy said:

Yeah, and any sport that has the term "bacon" to describe an abrasion just freaks me out. No bacon for me, thanks! I'll stick to downhilling!Zutroy said:
