How would you measure "the best"? Least upds? Most technical terrain?
Longest distances? I have no idea how you would come to such a
conclusion.

That was one of the major motivators behind sponsoring the Evolution of
Balance award, rather than spending the same resources towards a
structured competition. I think that when we get to choose our own
adventure, so to speak, it brings out a way wider and more creative and
interesting variety of what constitutes the "best", and I hope that
this part of our sport will always be at the forefront of muni.

I think that major linkups are one of the biggest areas of hard riding
that can will happen in the next while. Not just for easier XC but for
harder technical muni as well. Like trying to do link as many
difficult Moab trails as possible in 24 hours. To me that would be
way more interesting than a 24 hour race because you not only need the
skill and endurance but also the vision to conceive of it in the first
place.

I think that Erik is one of the best muniers, and I think that I might
be up there.

the SB guy are obviously ridicoulously good, so i think that Hans and
some of the other guys are some of the best.

I'm thinking of best in a "who can ride down the steepest bumpiest
stuff with the least hops" sort of way.

I think that sometime we should have levels for muni, like we do for
street and stuff.
Like, complete a certain grade hill for a certain distance without hops
(should be banned from muni. boo hops.) or land a drop that's a certain
height (rolling of course).

Of course! Ride it all!!
Pecking is an excuse to not develope your leg muscles. If you want to
hop up a hill, get a pogo-stick!!

That was attempted once, by U-Turn from this forum. I remember
contributing a little to the project. Looking back in hindsight, I'm
not sure of the why it's required at all. It would be like having
skill levels for mountainbiking. Why? You should be judged on how
well/how fast you can ride. It's not easy or practical to quantify
skills over natural terrain.

In regards to what Kris said, I couldn't agree more...there needs to be
a fun/adventure aspect to MUni riding as well, just as you would with
mountainbiking. On the other hand, competition does have it's place in
developing the sport. We definitely need better races especially at
UNICON level. If you compared it with mountainbiking (again!), you
would not see mountainbiking as an Olympic Sport today if it ran 10min
races and called it XC, nor would you shorten a DH course and call it
XC mountainbiking, nor would you combine the two and say it's a bit of
both.

No, there are some sections of trails that are only accomplishable by
pecking and hops, I say if you can ride it, ride it, if not, then
don't. Plus pecking will increase you leg muscles alot more than riding
will.

Wait, are there any DH races? That would be crunk...

Kerosian, pecking's cool I guess but for my personal taste I'd rather
crash hard going fast and flowy then stick something slow and bouncy.
Just personal taste though. I HAVE gotten lots of streanght in my legs
by going for hills that I know I can't make but doing them faster then
hell anyway.

I can't stand hopping in muni vids though...

I have the honor of regularly riding with some great Muni talent here in
Southern California.

If we're saying straight balls-to-the-wall huge (slightly stoopid) DH
muni I'd have to volunteer *Cody*. Cody is like someone throwing a hand
grenade at a pile of rocks just to see what happens.

Close by on the crazy list is *Josh Schoolcraft*. There are some lines
on G-spot that Josh does without thinking twice about that make me
pause for a good half hour contemplating before I finally [censored] myself
and give up and walk/climb down. NUTS

In a slightly different league is *Eyal "Rabbi Rock" Aharoni* (sp?).
There is nothing that this guy cannot roll. I often wonder "Did he just
do that?", "Is that even possible?". Might I add, that the whole time
he is making all this look effortless.

*Miles Ornish*. Just this morning I had the pleasure of sharing a
mountain with him. Every time I ride with him, he is showing me new
tricks, finding new ridiculous lines that I would never have imagined,
and improving by leaps and bounds on every ride. It blows my mind! The
most amazing part of this is he's only been riding for a year or two!
He's going to pass us ALL up in no time.... if he hasn't already
🙄

*Jake Sprague*. The dude is extremely well rounded. The trouble is,
he's always losing track of his damn shin pads! Do any shin pad
manufacturers want to sponsor this guy? He'd be an excellent
candidate!

*Ben Plotkin Swing*. Not from So Cal but so ridiculous, I had to put
him on the list.

That's my short list. For those of you that weren't on there, you know
I love you all and you're all the best in my book. Friggin Jon S.,
Jerry P, Steve A, Olarf, Magnus, Guy, JL, Morgan, Hans, Julian, Dennis,
Spencer, Jess, Naomi....

-(Cody, is your last name Williams? I don't know. Everyone I think
knows who I'm talking about when I just say 'cody' 🙂 -
