I noticed that smaller people had trouble finding bikes that fit them since most of the MTBs seemed to mediums or larges. I guess with space limitations in the trailer, it's hard to have a bike for everyone.

The event seemed a bit disorganized, when I was there in the morning, but things worked. Some of employees working the trailer could have been a bit more friendly and helpful because I noticed a lot of people waiting to get help while the employees talked to each other. One guy seemed to be doing most of the work helping people. The Trek mechanic acted like he really didn't want to be there.

Overall it was a good event and I am glad you guys did this. A lot of people were eager to try the EX 9.5 and EX 9. It's pretty sweet that you guys had these high dollar bikes available for testing. I got what I wanted by putting dirt miles on the HT 29er for free.

Thanks for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I have already passed it on to the appropriate chanels at Trek, and Jax. I'm stoked you got to ride the bike you wanted!

HOLY @#$! That was one spectacular crash. You guys really need to check that bike out. The guy had a pretty nasty hand injury because he wasn't wearing any gloves.
