lol they are brutal and better at speed than slowly tbh! Its such a long and hard track that you can hardly hold onto the bike by the bottom of the course, they have changed loads of sections from when I rode it though watching that!

That video is epic. He is carrying some serious speed through the whole course. The rock sections are similar to those at the dragon downhill at cwm-carn. Did that on a hardtail, less than comfortable.

How do you get on with the big hit? I had one for a few months, couldn't get on with the geometry and popped the rear shock Si got shot of it. A bit too wallowy for my liking, but then I'm used to free ride hardtail setups.

If someone offered me an intense m3 however.... :drool:

I must say I wasnt too impressed by the kinda stinky. But then that said, the big hit didn't wow me too much either. The best dh frame I have ridden has to be the demo8. Specialised sx is a good all rounder, just not too great on the big stuff.

Would love to be good at trials. That looks epic. Some I Chris akrigs stuff is amazing!

Ehhh not a fan of the Demo 8 in all honesty... felt too big and cumbersome, if I was paying THAT much more than a BigHit, I'd want something that isn't just a tarted up BigHit..

Do like the SX Trails, really nice to ride...
