at the winter X games where I first saw Nigel Page ride in person, it was his pumping the first drop where he won. He was coming off the slope at about 2 mph faster than anyone else and just leaving them in the snow, I was up there with Lars Tribus who also raced in the event and I told Lars how Nigel was winning and Lars thanked me for the insight
I think it 90% rider and 10% bike
Rider skill and determination. You have to be focused. It's fun no matter what, but self challenge is the key. Find your limit. I was lucky enough to win a couple races at Plattekill when we were running Marzochi Bombers. LOL

Whats wrong with the BOMBERS haha. I agree it is more the rider than the bike for sure. Cheers for taking the time to comment.
