Yeah, to be classified as "Xtreme" wouldn't this ride be required to have 50.1 or more percent of gravel off-roadery?
I'm just sayin...
Also, what adjustable travel fjork is ideal for this you think? Should I think about a new 2 position Fox or RS offering or is it so "Xtreme" that it's worth finding an old TALAS or RS U-turn fjork with more travel options?
You know, Ron Lindley holds a 'DH Endurance' race at Wolf Mountain (or whatever it's called now) every year as part of the Utah State DH series, although I think it's only 6 hours as opposed to 12. Obviously not as grueling as the Burner but it's local.
If anything it's fun to watch the old local chain smokers they hire to load/unload 40+lb DH bikes onto the chair become winded and leave their post within the first hour then you're stuck doing it yourself.
