why?

Just a personal opinion. I just don't see a lot of people, or hardly any at all, riding lift-serviced DH on clipless due to the bail out factor (especially if it's rained at all and it's greasy). I'd bring some flat shoes just for variety.
Not saying you'll need flats, but they do inspire a lot more confidence on the steep techy stuff IMO.

Flat pedals for DH and dirt jumping, always, b/c I suck.

Cool, bail out factor is probably a good reason, thanks.

I've always ridden flats with toe clips previously for DH, but since I had the clipless pedals I was thinking I might want them, so I guess I'll stick with the flats. Thanks
