How Do You Define Super D?

May 7, 2010 on 12:44 pm | In Mountain Biking | 3 Comments

In a story on I Hate Bikes, Jason Van Horn discusses the changes that have been made to the Super D format, with race organizers deliberately laying out courses to include 30 percent of climbing. Van Horn contrasts this with European-style Super D.

Listen to Specialized team members discuss the Sea Otter Super D in the first clip, and then check out the second vid from the ’09 Megavalanche in the French Alps.

Notice any difference?
