Beer or Wine?
You might say All Mountain or XC?
This would be Beer…
and this would be Wine…
What am I getting at? Simple, there are a few different styles of riding. There are some guys that can do epic rides (not me) but are affraid to do a bit of jumping, DH action. Then they would be more likely to be on Wine, or a XC bike.
Then there’s your guy that can keep up with the XC dudes, but not necessarily ride for long periods of time and can handle some DH as well as a bit of jumping from time to time (me).
For the longest time I was getting frustrated because I’m not fast at all, though I can keep up with the XC guys. But its not like I had the dough to get a full on DH rig. So when bike companies such as KHS, and even Ibex started introducing the “All Mountain” category, I was so relieved! Now companies are making bikes that are designed to do what I want with them.
So I guess I’m saying, I’m a Beer guy!
What about you? What’s Yer Pleasure!
