Mainly because of the instant engagement. You'd want to start back-pedalling before you hit the ground.

good stuff guys, paid 599 for a hub, called my lbs after reading some of these reply's and they made it clear that the price does include a front and rear hub. i thought maybe i was getting only one hub but apparently its 2. Just wanna test these things out, herd good things from a few riders in my town and the videos iv been watching seem rather good. Ill post my own review after a few rides

Oh... I don't think it would factor in that much would it? I've never ridden a hub with instant engagement...

it factors in a bunch, street hubs like the ratchet actually have more slack than your typical hub. its really about how your body reacts to landing and how no matter how fast you are at backpedaling you won't be able to start backpedaling in time off of any gap with any speed.
trails are not skateparks, they exist solely from the work and dedication of local riders. so next time you start complaining about not having local trails to ride, you only need look at yourself.
Bike check?

This is like instant engagement and then some. 6 pawls with 3 places to contact the hub on each one, then a ton of teeth in the engagement ring. Something like 250 points of engagement compared to a Shadow Rant V2's 12.

What one if your rear hub??
