To be honest, it's not the best pedaller (way better than my old Stab though) but I love it. You could set it up with air shock etc if you want to ride long distance.
I wouldn't plan on pedalling it. I meant more how does it jump and pop? I've ridden a few downhill bikes that didn't seem as easy to get airborn as others.
To me it feels nice and stable off jumps (and easy to get it in the air) Was a bit front heavy until I switched to Dorados. With the right shock and fork you could set it up any way you like..
