it can be done.

i race junior beginner at plattekill ski area in roxbury new york (USA) and i passed 2 people on my way down some guy not in my class possibly in a better one who started like a minute before me and then i passed my friend jim who rides a dually and would have won the last 2 races.(if he didnt get disqualified in one). and i beat 2cd place by 25 seconds. (if i raced sport i would have got 5th)

i have a cheeta ds hardtail with a dj2 up front with some special crown that marz put on when warrantied with 26 inch wheels 2.2 int he rear and a 2.5 up front. 6 in discs hayes hydro rear and avid mech front.

ok now to the point if you want to race dh and its your first year or you have a hard tail dont go buy a dually race with it for a year you'll become an awesoem rider and maybe get some podium finishes

its amarathon crown by the looks of it. its not the march it still has an m-arch but the crown is different. its the first year 2002 dj2 and they had the really creaky ones so they put a marathong crown on and it elmimanated the creaking

i have pics on pinkbike search daryl (blackspire racer)
