Thanks! Yeah I missed having an orange bike, haha. Riding a rigid feels very "connected", its a whole new way to experience my local trails!

 I totally agree. It's sort of pure MTB. I think I raced 4 times rigid in the past 15 months and although it was a winner on super smooth trails the ride was getting very harsh on a longer, rooty sections. After a few swaps I opted out for the suspension. For a pleasure MTB riding I believe rigid is very good option and people should not be afraid of it. Experience is everything.
