    Hardest? :?
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    Hmmm, well my old A-Line was a bit of a pig unless you were going pretty straight and pretty fast, jumped well though.

    I fixed it by selling the censored .

    I hear the orange 222/223/224 family are a bit of a bucking bronco if you don't ride clipped.

    my DH bikes are both 'ard.

    When my Bighit landed on my chest it felt pretty hard. I couldn't breath for a while. They wouldn't give me an x-ray so I still don't' know if I was broken or just bruised.

    There all hard if your trying. Though the French Mega qualifying run was quite good fun last year.

    rode the Lapierre froggy around the track at bike radar live - that was pretty damn hard to ride on flat/uphill as its an FR monster and just refuses to go up! Would be an amazing Alp's bike if there were lifts to the top though!

    never ridden a dh bike. would like a bash though. i've ridden a slopestyle bike dh, and my enduro. both feel awesome, although proper steep alpine stuff kinda made my spesh feel a lil small, especially when everyone's caining it past on full on dh rigs!
    I said hit the brakes not the tree!!

    The hardest bike I have ridden is when I get a new DH bike untill you have ridden it in. The present one that I've got was hard to start of with untill I got the hang of it.
