I have been riding a single speed, hardtail. I know, not smart. When i stopped racing Xterra I decided to try and work on my skills and find a new challenge. My second mountain bike ever was a fully and I never learned to ride very well technically. So there you go.
I got a new bike yesterday. A Specialized Epic Expert. That bike is unreal. The brain rear shock makes riding so much fun. I went and rode my least favorite trail in the world, Heil Ranch, and although it is still the worst trail ever I actually had fun. The Epic allows you to stay seated through the rocks and still climb while on bumpy trail. It was fantastic. I would be 15 minutes faster on an Xterra course now with that bike than I was in the old days on the K2.
