I need some advise, I'm 5'7" and ride a medium giant trance advanced 1. The bike ride is nice and i do like it but still feels a tad front heavy, what would you suggest i do to make the front feel slightly lighter so I can lift the front up a tad easier.

I'm 5'7 and ride a medium Trance Advanced 1. We should start a club.

I think you need to work on technique. Pulling up the front end actually starts with your legs/hips.

Noted, I've riden various bikes and just found that mine was harder to lift than other bikes I've riden, it might be because of the geometry and my overall centre of gravity is more front heavy.
So taking it on trails my bikes very forgiving rounds bends but when lifting over roots etc I have to lift and kick the peddle to lift the front or use a lot of force on the pull up in comparison to riding my mates bike where I can just pull up the front end without an assisted pedal much easier.
