14 here, though if dont include the -1 for carrying a GPS, coz it is kept inside my bag to show how gnar fast I was on the totally gnar descent then I could attain a gnar 15.......

Ha! Just found this, quite funny.

26 on the big bike with just knees and a proper helmet
14 on the little bike, again knees and a lid.

I feel much more Gnar on the little one though?

You have this totally wrong, just basing your scale on equipment. it is regularly proven around here that the "Gnar" weekender poofs are shown up by bar-ended, clipped-in, lycra locals who don't don't poop their frilly pants at the sight of an actual mountain, and then cry into their shandy about how they "[i]NEED[/i] more travel/armour/notes from their mum/etc...Why is the average MTB in Bedfordshire more "Gnar" than in Powys? Because there's a big difference between doing it and getting ready for it. Come round mine and tell me I'm wrong.

Missed this while on my hols.

25 on my biggest bike. Which pretty much proves that the survey is deeply flawed, 'cos I'm not very gnar at all if I'm honest.

32 haha, and that's with only knee pads on! Mind you it is a dh bike.

You should also consider adding:

+3 GP - neck brace (dosn't get more gnar than that)
+2 GP - riding without gloves
+1 GP - coil spring on shock

A fairly respectible 11 but thats only because I cant remove the window from one of my shifters and I have travel adjust. Oh and for the tyres I have 2x 2.35 so I gave myself 1 point.

My old bike would have got 21 bloody hell that is Gnar to the power of sick and it was my only bike so used it for XC and DH. But I guess that's why it got replaced.

Oh no... -1
Well at least I can cycle uphill quickly. And my old bike would have got 10 or so.

how can this be!!!!!!

The trail bike scores 1.5 (flat pedals, 2.35tires, 130mm travel, tripple, GPS and body armour occasionaly)

The BMX must score -ve yet is surely more gnar than anything else?
