Thanks man! It's so much fun I can barely keep off it. Cal Coast down here in San Diego has tons that you could demo. I didn't even plan on buying a new bike, but two friends got the bike and recommended I try it. I ordered it right after trying it. A lot of people on here are saying you don't need 5 or 6 inches of travel for trail riding unless you're doing drops, but I disagree. This bike sticks to the ground on general rocky singletrack waaaay better than my old Ellsworth Truth with 4 inches of travel. Good luck, and let us all know what you end up with!
