I am with travis...MT Cross is just BMX on mountain bikes!  I can ge into that...The gang at Cougar Mountain made it look easy!  I never seen so many people case it on a set of triples but with 8" of travel it doesnt seem to matter much.  I remember casin a huge set of doubles at a South Park (pittsburg) national in the semis...I was ass over tea kettle!

yeah I would like to give Mt Cross a whirl next year.
