Fourcross or mountaincross. It's a short downhill elimination race with four riders at a time on a
course with big jumps and berms.

What's the context?

I think there's a thickness of fly fishing leader that's referred to as 4X. I think there's
something in the world of optics that might be called 4X.

If it's terminology from bikes and cycling, it's *probably* "4 cross" which is a way to lace up a
wheel, where the spokes cross each other 4 times (2 cross and 3 cross being more common).

And, uh, why did you post this as a reply to a 2-year-old thread rather than starting a new one? (I
know, dumb question)

I think it fits under the heading "dumb question" quite well. Recycling and all that.

Apparently they can't spell 'beer'. Sounds about right for an Australian ;-)

Hey! Wait a sec there... OK, well you're probably right. It's good beer at least.

Hey, some of us can spell beer. Australia's a big place.

Queenslanders however...
