2 person job. Hold by the rear wheel, take the hand off while the other takes the picture. Pray to get it fast enough before it falls over

@Llamadrama27: I read that as "mystery shrew". That would probably make you run pretty fast too tbh.

@maianhkha15091981: You mean the ones from days gone by with 300mm travel Super Monsters and headangles that become negative when the fork compress fully?

All good but those V10s and Furys are stunning.

DHFX (May 7, 2021 at 17:43)

Funny how modern enduro and DH bikes have gotten so slack and stretched that the Kona here looks almost "short" compared to the Commencal, Santa Cruz or Scott.

ethanshredz (May 8, 2021 at 17:17)

I have that same Operator and it is a ridiculously fun bike. I actually run it in the full short setup, with 460mm reach and 425mm chainstay.

Nice to see folks out racing again. That black Session looks awfully familiar... Hi Al!

I can always pick out the UK bikes because the fenders 3x bigger than what you see in NA. Is it muddy there or something?

McArdle FL (May 7, 2021 at 11:29)

Best looking bikes for me are the Pivot Phoenix and the gambler.

Anyone else feel like the current Specialized Demo looks retarded compared to the model it replaced? The new one looks too airy and tame IMO.

mior Mod (May 11, 2021 at 11:54)

loved the demos between the new one and the stupid double seatstays, was my dream bike

SuperHighBeam (May 11, 2021 at 12:33)

@mior: It wasn't my dream bike, but the double seat stay Demo was much more of a standout bike.

Duderz7 (May 7, 2021 at 5:09)

They all seemed a bit gerbilish to me, except the one chinchilla...it really stands apart from the crowd.
