Awesome! Extremely nice and inspiring. Want more! Glad to see something other than the usual zillion generic videos of people going fast down trails and jumping.

Bigger is nice of riding in such choppy/rooty/bouldery terrain that it otherwise just is a struggle going forward. If riding in smooth trails I'd really prefer going back to 27.5 to get that lively playfulness back. Unfortunately for me I ride in really chunky terrain, making 29 the better choice most of the time. The competitive stage will surely go bigger since it gives easier rolling speed, and people will surely follow since they always follow what the pros do. They just don't understand that increased rollover speed (prio for the pro) is not always equal to increased fun (prio for the amateur).

Brilliant video! Got me signing up to be able to post. Getting tired of all samesame videos out there. First vid in a long time that I watched all of. Cheered when he got to the top! Really inspiring!
