3 Bikes now:
1. Norco range (27.5)-used this as my full time ride for Trail and DH (20 plus days per season..) for two years until I bought,,,
2. Commencal DH Supreme V4.2 Race. 'Cause after a while, using an enduro rig for DH gets costly and abusive. I figure with 20 plus days of lift service a season I ought get a right an proper DH bike...it's way better.
3. First generation Banshee Paradox Hardtail set up with faster rolling tires. Great around the towner, Cape Cod Mountain bike (ToT, Nickerson, Otis NOT Rail Trail...hough it's fine for that too), and back up when Bike number one is down.
I would love Add a Trek Stache 29er Plus...'cause Jersey Skier is right about tires never being too big : )
DH biking is way, way, way more physically demanding than DH skiing-still not the cardio crushing of XC skiing, of course, but the best riders are jacked up fitness monkeys (similar to MX riders).
