Weight assists with gravity... heavier people will generally carry more speed on the DH's.. but once you hit an uphill you will go slower then a lighter person.

If you go the same speed as skinnny guys pedalling their asses off while you coast.. imagine how fast you could go if you pedalled! Look at Nathan Rennie - he is quite large compared to say Steve Peat - yet both Pedal like crazy and make up speed in different ways..
