A bit late to the party, but anyway: More and more enduro riders are moving to coil suspension as it's better when set up properly. At the same time, more and more dh bikes are equipped with air shocks from factory and coil dh forks almost don't exist anymore (especially not with any advanced systems such as the ACS-3). Are...

Thanks, will check them out, I have heard about some of these before. About contacting them early, I have to find en employer by the end of february probably, if I don't It will be time to seek work at one of the other employers in the CCUSA program (which will also be easier to find).

DH (and most other sports) already looks pretty lame on tv compared to reality, also many people already don't consider DH real biking because 'you're only riding down' and a lame track looking even more lame on tv would only make it worse.
Along with big money comes cheating (well usually), if you're riding for the money you're in the wrong sport. If I was a pro racer I'd be happy to make enough to support myself and live the dream. In general I feel a greater friendliness in mtb than in any other sport, sure there are always a few idiots but...
Bad thing. DH must not become a commercialized sport, I don't care how many people start riding because of bringing the sport closer to them... When a sport goes big it changes, big companies putting money trough it, people that don't really know it start watching... Right now it's mostly riders watching other riders.
