This is one of the banes of bike riding,
Is it better to go Big, I.E Josh Bender, Or to go Super Stylish, I.E Adam Hauck or Lacondeguys etc.?

Alot would just say Style, straight away, but going big has its Upsides,
i mean, within MTB, seeing somebody do a tweaked table off an inch high kicker is thoroughly impressive, but to the outside world, they think very differently.

Personally, i would say that as ive got older and progressed with my riding, im thinking more about style, and where i can, incorporating big and style. When i was younger, id send it off bigggg dirt jumps, and held on.

Now, i go back to the smaller jumps, and perfect them, with whips and body pumps, just making it looks good.
I then see how low, and then how high i can go off a particular jump. It all gets very fun, i recommend it.

I would say, going big is very fun once in a while though...

So, what does everyone think?

None of the 'StYl3 SuXorZ, G0 b1GG 0R gO HoM3!'

That man needs therapy.

go big with style   

Low and scrubbed, racer style.

Looks fly.  None of this hucktastic crap.

Rootes

so doing a drop is the only way to 'go big', hardly, with a drop its just a single hit, with say.. racing its a whole bunch of things in a full on run, thats always impressed me more

style, well everybody has their own good or bad but after seeing a video of a mtb dj comp once again the racing wins as far as iam concerned

gotta be style every time, going stupid big has long had its day

naah style is more like being smooth over stuff, and making stuf look easy, with really dialled moves, aka gracia or peaty
