After started riding on a hardtail, drove it 2 years, i thought it was time to get a full on DH bike, so i got myself a Demo8. Thing was funn for 2 year, but indeed, i did let the bike do the work, instead of gaining skills. So sold it and bought a Transition Covert, man was that thing funn to ride. I realy taught me to pick lines, and to be more active on the bike. On that bike i gained more confidence, and did bigger gaps and drops than i'd done on the Demo. When it was possible, got myself a hardtail again, and man, that became even more funn. Now aways, for most things, i prefer the hardtail, or the 4x fully. Those bikes are so much fun to ride. Thing i regret most is that i've sold the Covert. Was the best bike i've ever owned. So yes, i do agree that short travel bikes are better to learn on. Gain convidence and skill, than get that bike bike it there are trails where you can use it, it'll be more funn then.
