I'll explain my post clearly so it's easy to get the point for those of you.....
"SOME" clydes chose to show off on the dh because they lack on the uphill and feel they need to prove themselves somewhere along the ride.
If this is you, don't do it! You are wasting energy
if your purpose is to " SHOW OFF"
Pretty simple to understand.
Now if it is not you and your weight naturaly forces you to pass other riders on the way down, or if your strategy is to use your momentum to carry you up the next roller, then great. You found a technique that works for you. Use it and I will be happy for you. But if this is you, then "the passing riders to show off" statement does not apply to you.
