Captain, nice bike! Ever nicer trails! Seeing that makes me miss my spesh enduro. That was a great bike for dh and playing without going for a full dh bike. I don't think I would be brave enough to ride some of youre stuff though

My old bike from before I bought a car and finished uni, back when I had money to spend on fun stuff!!

nice! i do love those style enduros... pretty much identical to the old sx trail... which was also awesome... always wanted one but the frames are pretty pricey now...

That is a nice bike Captain.

I was out on my new Ghost today. Going well, lots of fun, then my first fall. The stupid thing was, I had stopped. I came out of the wooded area, straight onto a road so I stopped and went to put my foot down. My foot dropped about a foot more than I thought it would and I went sideways, landing on a large up-turned tree stump. Winded me more than anything, and the bike was fine, but it was laying on me and somewhat awkward to get up being winded as well.

Apart from that, was good fun. Lots of small-ish hills all linked together. Getting out on the bike is helping me get to learn the area, although I have been here nearly 3 years.
