I'll bet that the bike is sitting in the middle of the rocky technical section of the course in that very picture.
Great, another clueless mtb vs roadie post.
. One thing I've learned people that make statements like that arent fast enough for the "groomed" trails. The other thing I've learnt is that guys that go fast on the groomed trails go equally as fast on the supposed "non groomed trails. Speed kills, for those that cant go fast, they complain.
BTW, its called mountain bike "racing", which implies the ability to go fast for a period of time. Not who can ride over logs and trees. I believe thats call trials riding.
