Rb Added a reply to Do you think a World Cup DH career debut like Gwin's is possible anymore?

Absolutely possible. Gwin, for the monster he is on a mountain bike, was (by his own admission) an "average" motocross racer. I'm sure there exist pro/semi-pro motocross guys who have hardly given thought to "downhill bikes" (but probably cycle for cross-training) much like Gwin, but could have a change of heart, show up, and throw down.

Probably one of the better uses of the Randy Orton meme that I've seen.

Clearly your reading comprehension skills are weak... :\ From the article above: [i]"We all know there are disadvantages with using a BB pivot on a DH bike, including pedal bob, brake jack, and non-rearward moving travel. As a result, a major contributor to making this bike work properly is the suspension manufacturer. We have worked closely with Cane Creek and have come up with a custom DBair that is on the money and counteracts the majority of the negatives listed above.

The TR450 was far from the first to use that particular linkage-driven single-pivot design. The '02 Turner DHR was the first I can recall, and Ventana's El Cuervo came a couple years later. Surprised Caroline Buchanan couldn't get a factory ride for DH -- she's legit.
