Do chicks dig downhillers?

[Biscuit]

I always thought no. But apparently downhill is the new glam poser sport to get chicks.

Nope!!! I had to give up DHing to get my wife!!!! Not really, but was not riding at the time I met her and then when we got married I got back on the bike. Ha, I tricked her!!! Sometimes I think she hates my bicycling... But she knows how much I love it and will never ask me to give it up.

I really don't think too many US girls care about it, you know It’s not like hooking up with a NASCAR racer or anything like that. Now I bet over seas and places like Brazil chicks would dig a DHer racer.

Chicks are probably more interested in someone who spends their time in the outdoors/mountains getting out and having a hobby more then the act of actually riding a downhill bike....as opposed to couch potatos.

I think a more accurate statement would be that chicks *tolerate* downhillers. Kidding...sorta.

Mine is certainly supportive, but I also think she has recognized that when I don't ride, I'm unpleasant to be around, so it is in her own best interest that I ride and that she not be an obstacle to this...I think she is also wise enough to know that women that force men to make a choice between their friends and hobbies and them frequently lose out.

Yep. Not all, but the right ones anyway.

My girl thinks it's cool (atleast she tells me that)...And always comments how good it is that i have strong interests like that...

She sometimes gets a little turned off when i ditch her for weekends at a time to go to snowshoe/diablo/moab...But it always ends up well...women will always be women eh?

whoaa

I just thought it was funny that a guy wants to trade a boat.. which he claims chicks love "to get naked on", is interested in trading it for a downhill bike.

That, combined with mtb stuff being featured in tv commercials, magazine ads, etc. I am sorta wondering if somehow it's becoming a "sexy" sport.

I've hear road cycling is the new golf. Is mountain biking the new _____?
