I just purchased a new full suspension bike and I love it! Makes me feel 18 again

I love my fully, can't see me going back to my hard tail or even worse, ridged!

I don't think I would ever buy another hard tail as well. The full suspension soaks up all those nasty drops

For the DH's / Freeriders!

Yeeehaaaw!!

.. I just wish there was a way I could progress into more of that sort of thing without involving broken bones. I dunno, I messed myself so bad last year at Whistler. The broken shoulder was bad enough but I'm only just now, 9 months later, getting some feeling back in my right leg (complete loss of sensation from the hit it took in the fall - at the time I was hospitalized I was so focused on the shoulder it never occured to me to ask about the leg. By the time I did realize something was up and had it looked at the doctors were like "meh - it's nerve damage, what are you going to do. Try physio, maybe one day the feeling will come back.")

It's not a fear of pain that I have, but the fear of me doing something messing myself up permanently that has me pulling back a little from the sport. Or maybe I'm just chicken. Half of me looks at the video and says "Yahhhh!" and other half says "Uhhhhh? Nooooooo! Have you considered road biking instead??"

Just so's I'm not being a complete downer on the topic, check this video out of Lazar Fade, one of the new trails at COP built by the Whistler folks. Now the the rain has stopped hopefully they can open for real soon!! This is the kind of trail I live for, bermy flowy goodness.

I can't ride like that either.. I get close to getting the nerve to hit something bigger then I think about my mortgage and who's going to pay it if I bail!

That trail at COP looks like it would be pretty fun, if I get down there one of these days I'll have to bring the bike

Ignoring the weather today anyone else getting excited to ride again?!?
