mine doesnt have those gnar forks and has a better stem...

i live next to like some of the top downhill courses in the country..
 
haha i'm working on making a short trail down to these buisness parks from the woods tht start at my house. It's tough..so many trees fallen down. Some are high up. Once I get wood to get over them i'm going to start making drops and jumps. Should be good I hope.

must be nice to live in a place where you can actually build trails. living in san diego sucks for downhill. im almost tempted to sell my bike.

Ohh yeah I bet. Well go find a big hill and like build some jumpsa nd drops going down it.
anytime i find a spot that looks secluded and start building, the city comes and destroys it in a month
 
Oh. Yeah I know what you mean. The trail I built isn't amazing because I don't have a chainsaw to cut logs which would help a lot. Plus not much dirt haha.

Okay, so I went to Mountain Creek Waterpark and they have a freeride downhill thing there, and a group of my friends and I want to go up for a day and try it, but I'm wondering if it feels a lot differant than a 20" because of the suspension and stuff, and are most of my jumping and riding skills going to transfer from 20 to 26 or whatever it is? And is it awesome?
