I think the theory is: lots of speed or lots of power, no steering and weight on the back.
Then you need to be a madman to come down a bridge and jump into deep sand at 50kph hoping to not faceplant
It’s more consistent application of power than lots of power, although clearly being able to apply more power consistently helps.
Yeah, but you wouldn't want a constant power at a low gear, you need a big gear, high torque, small cadence act to balance the bike, hence the lots of power :)
