Now if you had smooth trails, that would be different, but in NYS, it's all tree roots & rocks.
i dont think this is totally accurate. i am much better on my trails wil tons of roots and rocks and stuff like that.
i my feet stick to the pedals when i am powering up a hill with roots, my feet dont go flying, and i get more power to get over stuff.
and on the dh my feet dont move because of the bike bobing around under me.
