See those rocks on her left?
There's section of the trail where the whole trail wide is that, and 20
yards of it, and you have to go down it, or be a wus and hike-a-bike.
Fullsuspension people can just point the nose forward, and go fast and
the bike does all the interpretting and negotiating.
People like me with hardtails, are scared [censored], cuz yer moving at
20MPH and have to be at that speed or faster, because if you go slow,
you crash. With a hardtail, it's tough to be 20MPH, and still maintain
balance, because the backend requires control cuz it always flips out
because it can't adjust to the rocks, you have to adjust it while
staying fast, and concentrating the front.
Hardtails are far harder to work with than fullsuspension.
I'm always scared on rock sections cuz you die on them if you crash
hard. Increase of likelihood of crashing, on a hardtail over a
fullsuspension, is at least 50% if not more.
