    What is similiar between motocross and downhill. Need Advice.

    As far injuires go, i think you will surprised although major injuries or deaths aren't as frequent, downhill has no were wear the numbers of mx. Also my personal opinion (I rode moto's for a few years) you crash alot more in downhill and I think shoulder and wirst injures are more prevalent...

    Downhill/Freeride HD short film with GoPro

    Nice one at 9:30 looks pretty well to flat, there is no need to pedal at that ladder. The downhill track that starts off the left is the best one up there and why didn't you guys hit the switches on the other track its heaps more fun then belting down at that ski jump.

    Where are our pros ?

    I hope all the people who are complaining are tradies because I need a new kitchen, bathroom and can't afford it. Think about it, do you turn up to work for free on your holiday (if you do, you are the sadest person I know) or do you go do what you want??

    Trek session 88 2010, Would a large be too big ?

    had a 2009 in medium and im 5'11, i could have easily rode a large so i wouldnt worry at 5,11 i was at the limit in terms of size and being 15 id say you would grow out of a medium quick so go the large

    Understanding what makes a downhill bike

    If you have only started to get into downhill then from experience i would say to stick with what you have for as long as you can. In this sport you will be surprised how easy to progress at a very quick rate, you say your not doing big drops but in six months you could be and you might be...
