Hopefully yer, going on my first xc tommorow morn all been well and Im booked in for a weekend in wales with a load of hardcore DH mates in feb 

Sounds fun good luck with the downhilling, it's super fun but looks like you might need some more travel on that bike


Just to warn you, biking is as addictive as vw modding lol

Oh dont get me wrong, I aint downhilling like a moron, just quick trail riding. Was just saying that Im going with about 40 DH nutters 

And as for modding, I have been bmxing for years and very much over the buying sh!t cos it looks good stuff

edit: thatwills, that bike is pure sex
