I've been preaching against drop bars and dirt for a few years now opting instead for alternative flat bars. But I've recently had several things come in for review that have caused me to give dirt drops another shot. It's been a completely different experience this time around and I've even found myself looking forward to taking the curly bars on green and blue trails. In this video, I talk about four of the reasons I think it's been different this time around and how drop bars actually aren't all that bad after all.
