The adrenaline rush will heighten your heartbeat equivalent to a 1hr Xc riding cramped into 3mins. Picture that and you know what I mean, and that is if you can still walk after the 3mins ride.

QUOTE(levilau @ Apr 13 2012, 09:45 AM) wish to ask, trail HT mean the travel is higher for a HT bike? YEah...Usually when they refer a bike as a Trail bike ...it means it can be ridden more aggressively ... as compared to XC bike ... Usually the maximum travel for an XC HT bike is 100mm...because its made for XC and usually needs to be light ... In the words of Keith Bontranger: ""weight, strength, price...pick two""....You cant have all 3... Which is why a Trail HT are not that light ..as it needs to be strong enough to take up long travel (140-160mm) ie: SC Chamelion, etc.. |

""Heavy feet, light hands. ... , keep your hands relaxed at all times (no white knuckle or stiff arms) " helps you maneuver past obstacles better ..without adding pressure to your hands and shoulders .. |
