Do you have a stat on that? I would love to know where you got most? Come to the shore you should see the mountain they have to ride up to get to their trail heads. Same with Whistler. Thats a pretty broad statement.

And the clipless statement I made is half made in jest. I listen to guys bragging about how high they can bunnyhop. Look down and some of them are wearing clipless. Well it takes no skill to hop clipped into a bike so that was my little dig. So I am never impressed. My statement above came accross wrong, I definately see a need for clipless and would use them if I didn't prefer riding skinnies and stunts. Even on dh, but for me the risk is too big on my skinnies .
