Anybody ride DH here?
Dr. Steve Brule:
Used to do quite a bit but moving to the city and not having a car put a stop to that sadly.

I definitely feel like riding DH and riding the edge forces you to learn a good amount of bike control and if you are coming from a BMX background it just feels natural! Winter park is only a 1.5 hours from my house so I will be going as much as possible.
rickylarryyy:
hugh I feel the same way, I love riding my 20 but getting on a full on DH rig is awesome because of the abilities it has. so many more options of terrain and nasty stuff. Also, my wrists and knees love it.

Not tried a proper DH bike on a DH course, but I ride my full sus MTB down hills (and up) and it is definitely fun... plus you NEVER get snaked by a scooter...

I feel like for flow DH, a 4" and 4" slopestyle or 4x bike, or a 6"/6", work well. Some of the 8"/8" bikes feel like overkill on the smoother jump trails (except that some of the trail gets super brake-rutted). But definitely appreciated for the rough trails.
I want to check out this trail in Washington State:

I rode my Transition Double at Angel Fire earlier this year. Second weekend of the season and we got some snow at the top.
The 4x track was closed, but I really wanted to hit it.
was a pretty solid drive....
