the comparison wasnt against you Wes, it was between 26ers and 29ers, except they didnt do a double run, one with 26ers.

and it's not also about oh come on good sport: that's a cop out for when things are not going exactly as touted. The game here is, 29ers are as good as 26ers for DH and all round styling it up. Not quite convincing in that regard.

Not hating on your future purchase Wes ;) So o come on wes.. :P

*sigh*
u right mayhem, not that that was your intention, but maybe i shoulda gone with something like " wow, cool vid, 29ers are the shiz".

I wonder if I would have gotten chastised for going overboard in celebrating the 29er.? :unsure:

Dude - tell me about it. Home made chicken booger for dins, with a few stringy 'tater wedges. And all for lunch was an apple & a pear, with a couple of nibbles (capuccino muffin & a banana spring roll) for brekkie. I'm starving...

eish, you two.

you see how 9ers turn everything into a bitch and moan session :w00t: with you two are going on about your dietary restrictions :whistling:

cap I don't think the point is "hey 9ers are as good as 6ers in this situation", i think the point is "9ers can be fun". from what I've heard, the SC tallboy is pretty legit...
