Just wanted to make sure of what, exactly? That a bike that's "built for the hardtail junkie looking for just a small amount travel in the rear to smooth out the dirt jumps and biker cross courses" isn't exactly optimal for hitting drops and A-Line?

Thanks tips but youve obviously never seen the boneyard. casey groves (a friend of mine) rides for transistion and he uses the double for it all

I fail to see why my opinion isn't valid. You want somebody to comment who has ridden both a Bottlerocket and a Double down both A-Line and The Boneyard in relatively similar build packages and during relatively similar trail conditions. Good luck with that.

... and he's a top pro. Hill or Minnaar could probably ride Garbanzo on an 80mm DJ hardtail and make it look shit quick and shit easy, that doesn't mean it's the best bike for it. He's a lot better than you.... so if you ask which bike is better, there's not much doubt it's the Bottlerocket.
