All that video shows is lack of riding skill nothing more nothing less. Both machines are capable in the deep stuff, it just depends on what brand you prefer.

dragons breath fire

well my 800dragon is running good. esp if the temp is around -10-15 c. the other day my buddy with 800 doo xp and i were playing around 6000 ft the temp was plus 5 and he beat me on a striaght go. I was only pulling 8000 rpm needs to be around 8200 to get full shift. rats!! so that day i ate crow, oh well its all in fun!! next time to get my rpm up i need to lighten up my weights abit or try a heaver primary spring. the interesting thing , he is about 60 pounds lighter then me plus his sled is 50 lbs lighter thats a lot of difference, and if mine is running good they are very close. I saw the video on U tube where it showed the xp beating the dragon on a road, unless that xp does over 90 plus mph it won't beat mine! well keep the tracks turning and watch for aves, been a bad year for them. dragon rider out!

I didn't see anything that required skill on that hill. Looks like a good hill for a straight up pull to me. Sounded like the Dragon was pinned and I didn't hear him let off. I ride with an XP and an 800 Dragon with riders of comparable ability and so far I am more impressed with the Doo. They float better, IMO. We haven't been on a good enough hill to match them up yet, but when we do, my money is on the XP. (And it pains me to say that) But I'll agree, they are all good and it basically depends on what brand you like.
