Only reason I want a hardtail is for playing at the pump track/dirt jumps and messing around practicing bunny hops and other moves. I don't have enough free time for another trail bike.

I really enjoyed my hardtail trailbike year.. Got on my DH bike and felt instantly faster. You get really good and brake controls, because if you stab a brake in a turn and make the fork dive, you will get punished for it.
I am glad to have mine and maybe every 5 years it would be worth doing a hardtail trailbike year.. Just to keep you honest and reinforce good habits.
Sigh...I think this is the right answer since I know I'll be an idiot on whatever I'm riding. Bummer after spending the whole summer on a road/gravel bike. On the upside, I have a custom Marinoni CX frame coming soon that will keep me occupied for a bit!
PSA - everyone may already know this, but Outside is (now?) limiting the # of active buy & sell ads for unpaid members to 20. Not unexpected but still a bummer.
I would agree. I have a checkpoint on order and I'm stoked about it tbf
Checkpoint is so smooth that bike is rad. Put a dropper on it!
