DH is nuts. Way too many injuries.

My girlfriend's friend's boyfriend (that should make sense) won the DH at nationals in '05 I think (at Mount Snow) but he had to give it up because he had like 5 concussions and his doctors said he'd do serious brain damage if he sustained another.

Funk that. I'd rather suffer in XC.

Skipping across the tops of steep jagged rocks at the edge of control (or beyond) isn't your idea of a good time?

Anyone see the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour this year. They had some dude on a unicycle doing the downhill through the woods thing across logs and rocks. Crazy stuff.
