from a GT Avalanche 1.0 to a Azonic Eliminator.. it's badass, now I fly through stuff that would have jarred my brain skull, float over rocks, bumps, and stumps.. it's awesome! definitely want full suspension for rough trails. Hardtail for street, easy trails ('cause you can actually pedal without dying for air)

Wow, that's a lot of bikes. Looks like you work at a shop. Also looks like you started in a rich Toronto suburb and then moved to North Van and realized you needed more travel...

I RECOGNIZE THAT BROKEN SEAT ANYWHERE PHIL.

Anyone go from a Dually back to a hardtail. I went from hardtail to dualie back to hardtail, to dualie again, and am contemplating going back to hardtail.

I went from an 03 Norco Bigfoot to a customized 03 Kona Stinky then to a 24 Bicycles Le Toy 3. Figured that i could do everything on a hardtail so why worry about having full suss, i found it more fun.

I went from a Gt Chucker which i bought new, to about a year later a £400 used Carrera Banshee, far from stock.

You can see them both in this picture:
