LOOOL.. omw. and i sitting here daydreaming about going out with a baseball bat on the prowl for a neiner... hey clown, meet my trickstick..

but then i realize i'm just cranky... :(

Ha ha! Cap, we could end up being the only people with "normal" sized wheels in about a year from now.That will probably make my Tracer even more valueable, as it'll become a "classic" bike very quickly. :lol:

but to be fair Wes, there's a vid of JD Swanguen on an Intense 2951 IIRC, and he was really ripping it up.

to be honest i think they definately have their place in MTB ... but i think there will need to be a good couple of years R&D before we see them (or a 650 ...) on the DH scene properly

Oi, so not only is this an attack on 29er, but now you're picking on short people too? Nice one…
