Now that looked like a FUN 5 minutes..! I normally shy away from helmet cam footage, cuz I find it's usually too choppy to watch, but honestly, that is some of the smoothest helmet cam footage I've seen. Great job guys..!

The Santa Cruz? Ehhhh...I'd be interested if it had a Boxxer or a 40. Not really into Manitou, had bad experience with their stuff. If you're talking about that SX Trail that John had a while ago, I'd probably be in. If it's the Santa Cruz, could you take some current pics and maybe sell without the fork?? I know a Boxxer Race I could get for it...
