Isn't it just that freeride is more exciting/interesting than other aspects of skiing (or biking)
Quite possibly. But what they are doing is so far removed from my experience that I lose interest 🙁
I should stop reading mags and ride more (except ST obviously)
Njee- I've struck a fine balance between DH and tech capability and lightweight. A trail bike would be too heavy and bobby up hills, you know how it is. Also, it doesn't have that rangy top tube length. However, when I'm racing, I excel on the techy bits so prefer a bike that panders to that.
Still, got the results to back up the fact that I can ride up hills last weekend, when I thought I was undertrained and overweight, so I must be doing something right 😉
@buzz-lightyear - Most mags are like that for me too.
Give [url= http://www.xxcmag.com/site/XXC.html ]XXC[/url] a try. It's well removed from my own experience, but it's inspirational rather than 'Why?'.
