Lots of interesting stuff here, TBH I’m thinking what makes people ( non. MTBers) think wow….!!! For example the day after the Winter Olympics Boarder cross or ski cross it was talked about in the office…..less so super G or cross country skiing.
I was looking at it from a spectacle PoV. I agree that I didn’t think of how XC Is much bigger in Europe etc but again I think for the non biker DH enduro type stages are better viewing?
I recognise the the techie sections on XCO are tough, but I’d fancy one of those more the the techie sections of a world class DH course….( clearly both would result in using my face as a brake!!) I’m not in any way saying it’s easy I’m asking what’s better telly?
Schurter would destroy Gwin on a XCO technical descent if they were both on XC bikes.
I really doubt it, love to see it but I’d put the house on Gwin!
