Thumbs up Downhillers.......
Ahhhh... the modern Big Bike. I'm pretty sure there's a few of them here...

I don't have one. Come to think, I've never had a Big Bike!

Never stopped me from making sure I grabbed a cold one, hit the course and cheered my buds on at the top of my lungs, though.

Matter of fact, every race I've gone to or been in I've made it a point to watch and support the Big Bikes. Screw hanging around camp- I'm going to the Show!

And when you think about it- they put on one hell of a show. Easily the best part of the weekend, spectator wise at the very least.
Hucks, clickers, manuals, BIG air and all at SPEED.
And none of this waitin' 40 mins or so for lappers comin' around.
The Big Bikes are dropping in damn near nutz-to-butz!

I dig it and I get a big fat honkin' stoke from it.

Yeh- I'ma XC geek, but I have a lot of love for the Big Bikes and the commitment everyone puts into it that allows us, the spectators, to get a huge thrill out of.

So props to the Big Bikes, and their riders, for going huge and making it thrilling.

Post up some of yer sickest DH pics!

I don't think you have a hair on your ass if you don't come ride Tunnel with myself and Lee. Use any bike you want. Rut does in on his ridged so I'm sure your new steed will be fine. Just becarefull you don't scratch the carbon.
