dont listen to those dipshits dude just get that six because theres no need for anything above six inches in manitoba its basically flat with an exception of a few 10 foot drops and gaps
now the six should be good stock for whistler and those places you go.
other then the wheels look into the revolution 32's by transition bike co.

thanks man thats what i was thinking, thats why i was saying no to demo's and glory's.

im thinking that even the six is too much bike for winnipeg, but thats why i have a bmx for whittier and komenda etc.

maybe if your rich bud^^^
but get a dhx 5.0 air on the six and all you need is good pressure and propedal on and it will ride better for going to and from whitter
the six is a am/ L fr bike so it will be alright and pedal better then the bottlerocket
or another bike save up over the winter and get the empire five like me

2268756

5 inches for travel but im putting fox dhx air 5.0 and van 36 r's on it

yea the six would be right up your alley man... even the the new empire 5 would work for you good too... the six is a better trail bike though

yeah i like the six

if i were to consider the empire five then it would open a whole nother lineup of bikes, 5" rear travel, (bass, cowan ds, double etc.) those of which i cant afford

i think the six would be the right bike for me, and ill have a bmx, and a scrap which i might be getting a cheap p3 frame. so i think im set Big Grin
