Check this out! Redbull is promoting a DH road race event where mixed disciplines will compete against each other. I've been on this road with my car, my road bike and my mtb. It doesn't matter what your riding... the steepness, sharp turns and smooth asphalt makes them all fun to ride down. all you need are good brakes. who do you think will win, roadie or mtb? Finally a Redbull event close enough to me so I can attend. www.redbullroadrage.com/eventinformation.htmDid I mention this road has sheer cliffs and no guard rails on some of the turns? The fearless will win this event.

if bmx types of gravity bikes will be allowed stock or with fairing i think they will dominate..more aerodynamic and has lower center of gravity.

Just proves the saying "It's not the bike"

I agree it's not the bike, but just think what that guy could do given proper equipment and the skills he currently posesses.

i agree. i was wondering, what if he used a real roadie bar? hmmmm...that would definitely bring the house down.

ginawa na ni the legend john tomac yun brad... he raced one time na gamit yung roadie type bar na paikot pababa (whatever its called) kasi dun daw sya sanay. hahaha. i forgot kung nanalo ba sya sa race pero i think he did. i read it before sa 1999 issue ko ng MB Action

Drop bars ang ginamit ni Tomac because he was riding for a road team at the time. Nakalimutan ko which team. He said it wasnt a good idea , nkakatakot Pero dun sa pics nasa air yung bike , at dun sya naka hawak sa drops cool!
