The legendary Galbraith trails in Bellingham, WA are probably not the kind of trails where you'd expect to see a 29er being thrown about... Times are changing, especially with the king of the cutties, Bryn Atkinson at the helm.

Really like the music too. Beautiful job @Bryn-Atkinson what a boss!
I dont get this. These seem like the perfect trails to ride on any MTB. Fast smooth trails with no real gnar that could be ridden on anything from BMX to a DH bike. #tiredofthemarketingBS
Ps. Perfect trails for any modern MTB, regardless of wheel size...
Pick one, hate anyone who picks a different one. Those are the rules.
@truehipster: allegedly...
That's a truly odd thing to say about the trails that inspired and served as the proving ground for the Smuggler and the Process 111. Not to mention the Satori. And the Honzo. And the Covert. And the new Hei Heis.
Signed, the last dude riding a Satori in Bellingham because all my friends upgraded...to newer 29ers.
Today, when the new god has already triumphed and believers in the old one have been burned at the stake (those f*cking pagans deserved it), the messiahs have decided that maybe the time's come to get 29er back and add him to Mount Olympus. Why the f*ck be a monotheist? with two gods you double options and make people happier.
But hey, who knows, as people say, we, the parishioners, always have the last word cause we are so clever and always know what we want, don't we?
Stumpy was the midget who lit the bonfires in which pagans were burned, that is usually done by brain dead boys.
700C is the same diameter as 29er. 700C's been around a long time.
Now think of the weight of motorcycle wheels, they must be impossible to turn at 100kmh
I am 183 cm tall and I ride 27,5 frame with 26 wheels and I feel perfect.
But If I were 195 cm I would like to have 29 frame with 27,5 wheels and 29fram+29wheels for 205+ cm.
And when I see how some people 160cm tall rides 29ers I want to cry!))
I used full MX skills on a super tight 'trenched' switchback in NorCal- bike swapping, on the edge of control at every switch.
Left my buddy on a 27.5 in the dust like never before, and destroyed my previous best time. Set on my 26" wheel bike!
29'ers are a trade-off, not a compromise. They work great for me!
I just have one doubt... why EWS riders don´t use 29ers more often?
P"
& me saying I hate 29'ers is no different than Bryn Atkinson posting a video "proclaiming he is on a 29'er... So piss off
