Actually the riding in B.C. is special. I’m sure the riding in Barrie Ontario is great too and CC can handle anything you can throw at it. So relax, you’re covered.

Having been there and to a few East coast venues, no, it's really not. It's good riding, will never say otherwise, but y'all fart smellers are a bit high on your own fumes sometimes.

But hey, go ahead and talk shit on the rest of the world. Not like my hometown has bred olympians and world class riders. Lmfao.

NC has some rad riding. So does WV. We would do road trips to ride there every spring from Ontario.

I don't disagree that there are many here in BC that seem to think it's the end all be all of riding. It's amazing, but there is amazing riding all over the place.

Anyway if shreddy here doesn't feel like telling us what shock we'll just go ahead and say it was an early Inline Air and as we know it had issues and was fixed with updated design.

If the updates where less than 2 years ago great. I was on the Air CS and every time it went in for service it needed multiple replacement parts. When it was under warranty they were great but when you get a $700 bill for a service then your not so happy. The shock had all the updates installed when in crapped out the last time. The shock was on a Knolly Warden which isn't a bike that is hard on shocks.

On long descents it would heat up significantly more than my current float X2 on the same bike and the same runs.

Mount Mitchell is like 1k feet lower than big white. It's taller than Silverstar. It's pretty laughable to think NC doesn't have downhills. Not sure what's in the water in the valley, but it sure does stink.

He said RS haven’t, not no one has.

exactly Rockshox hasn't but the others I mention above have, how come they're out of consideration?
Because fox and RS are the most readily available, spare parts are easy to locate and service is an option just about anywhere which is critical for outsole who travel with their bike.

Looks like the kind of bike a blind/illiterate fool would ride.

I bought a Helm air last year. It was the smoothest fork I’ve ridden until it near catastrophically failed practising for a race.

I sent it back for warranty assessment. Guy calls me a day later.

‘Ah, yeah, this is weird. Your fork has no lower bushings in it. At all. It must have left the factory that way’

So I’m not convinced the QC is quite in the past.
