This is a good description of KS trails. Never any extended climbs that reward you with a looooog/fast DH. Actually, I think I would do better riding in a mountainous or at least "hilly" area b/c I tend to do better when my speed is built up and I can "blow-through" sections or jump over technical sections.
Who am I kidding? I'm not fast anymore, hehe.
