That track really washes out on the sidehills ah? Looks like it ended a little premature![]()
I never got the lowering the bars thing.....seems more like a practical joke created by a couple of those guys in the movies that put on clinics.
In that one pic you are forced to hunch over, losing your mechanical advantage over the sled.....I find it much easier to stand tall and be able to use your body weight.....no force required at all to hold a sidehill, even on a XP!....even one handed without legs flailing about with proper chassis setup. Someone explain this flawed theory of going back to lower bars....did that for the first 30 years of riding and all I got was a sore back from being hunched over.![]()
Nice pics Wyo!
I wouldn't get too close to the underside of that overhang though.
Some pics from my screw with the head cam, pretty much straight line from where I start down hill decent, steep then it looks, and the base gave out half way down and dug a 6' trench going down hill.
The last pic in this post shows the best at how steep it was and its still tilted the wrong way a little.
Brew those are some great videos. I think video shot by someone other than the rider shows the difficulty of the terrain and rider skill so much better than helmet cam video. A camera mounted on a pole behind the rider is much better than helmet cams too.
Wyo that bump isn't 60 degrees either. 60 degrees looks nearly vertical. It might be 50 right as you round that shoulder but that's maybe 10 feet of travel. I'm not saying I'm a better rider than you(I'm not) but when you make blanket statements about the XP you sound ignorant.
