I think 120mm was the perfect choice from a strategy perspective. First 3 runs are too short to really make a difference in time. The race was won / loss on the longest stage where fitness was more important than skill. The Tallboy would have made up a lot of time compared to a bigger bike through Slick Rock and Double D
I raced on the Sunday and the trails were so dry and dusty. How do you go so fast without fear of washing out on all that loose top surface?? I washed out at least twice.
Stromlo is funny like that, if you can't hear your tyres sliding you probably aren't going fast enough. You get used to it, and having my bike set up well so that I can ride it with confidence also plays a big part.

Great vid Craig! Really like the flow, the bits of narration and the sound that shows how much those trails make you work!
@@ShredwithAdam thanks man 🙏
Nice work on that last stage. Super long stage when you link it all together.
Thanks, I was hanging off the bike in Double Dissolution but it worked out
Hauling mate - congrats on yet another podium!
Short travel bikes are beast down the back of stromlo in my honest opinion ✌✌
@@YutaLeffers definitely on the flow 💪💪
3:42 All gas no brakes! Smooth line choice
Using all 120mm 😂
Gap that rock garden in three amigos, it's pretty chill and you'll definitely make some more time. We'll done 🙌
@@Roofusone_ little Pike might fold in half tho 😂
Great job getting 2nd Craig. Glad I'm not racing anymore

Out of curiosity, what happened to your Rocky Mountain Altitude?
@@sebastianwirth9895 sold it when my LBS started stocking Santa Cruz
Like watching it in x1.5 fast forward compared to my speed. 😂
@@nelsonshaw4596 the camera is doing a lot of the work here 😅
maybe a cascade link?
@@CannabinatedFantasy could help but I’d rather ride my enduro bike next time 🤙
i just feel like the tallboy handles too good. you jumped over a lotta the tech. tho i doubt a link would change it that much.
