I so beg to differ. Sadly there are scant few opportunities, or really no opportunities, for folks to ride 100mm travel bikes with DH geometry but it's ridiculously funtacular.
I hear the argument all the time that for the same weight, with modern pedaling kinematics, why not just get the longer travel bike and have the more versatile platform, and I get it. But it's still not the same as hanging it out on a rigid bike and the short travel 100/120 bikes with DH geo that I imagine are even more fun than that.
