The advantages in rock gardens are not going to be of any use on dirt jumps.

Yes I do, but I was riding a hardtail with a single crown as a DH bike for two years, and when you are riding your front wheel the whole way down, the sideways flex is awesome. It's been many years since I rode a dual crown so I can't comment much on that. However I did hate my fox 40 because it was way too stiff for me. I found it was not conforming to the trail when cornering enough and it felt like I was fighting it and it wanted to knock the bars out of my hands. I'm not a big guy, so maybe that had something to do with it. But different strokes for different folks right. I read an article years ago where nico was extolling the virtues of side to side flex after I had already sold my 40 for being too stiff. I'm in his camp on that one I guess, but from my own observations, not because that's what he thinks.

it was a joke... clearly its a UK bike which is why i said america

Definitely, thanks! I'm here to deal with photos and try to make the photography on Pinkbike as good as it can get. I also deal with most of the race and event reports, and as part of all of that I also end up having to enforce a few basic rules here and there. But really all I want to do is shoot great photos, and show people everyone else's great photos as well.

To be completely honest I have no idea. I don't have anything to do with the contest side of things really. I organize the photos and post them, that's all. However I do agree with you!

same, it looks soft

ya eff that
