Jeeze... Heaven forbid us chicks that just aren't cool enough (or, you know, maybe just haven't had a good opportunity yet) to own a 7" travel bike, full face, and full body armor respond to your thread with what we do have in common: the love of mountain biking and a good adrenaline rush (in whatever form that may come). Guess our "rushes" just don't qualify because you don't think they are as hardcore as yours.
Next time I'll make sure I do my part in keeping your threads at 0 responses for the sake of being absolutely 100% on topic Maybe I am glad I don't "do" downhill. None of the XC people I ride with would be so elitist and "aggressive" towards people trying to share a passion with them. Heck, the "roadies" I ride with wouldn't act that way either and their the ones that are "supposed" to have their panties in a wad.
