If you mount your discs inboard and put a brake each side you can improve the turn in of the machine in tight corners or when loaded ;)

Saw this at Stromlo too, awesome effort.
I thought you were going to take out my wife out when you were flying down behind the triple treat just before the start of the women's DH final. How you got that thing back under control was impressive!
