Lightweight vs. Heavyweight Riders | Is Bigger Better For Downhill MTB?
HOSTED BY: https://fatmtnbike.com
Science says that all objects fall to earth at the same rate regardless of weight, but only when in a vacuum.. here on earth we know that if we drop a feather and brick the brick is going to land first due to wind resistance. So if we apply this to mountain biking will a heavier rider be affected as much by wind resistance, and will they get to the bottom of a hill quicker? Rich and Anna set out equipped with a weight vest to test this theory! 🏋️♀️
