Fantastic. This generation of mini-dh/free ride bikes was the best. Demo 7, Session 7, Giant Faith….

Muy Bueno.
While running a 150mm fork, what ride-9 position do you use? I am thinking of building a very similar bike.
Do you think the 140mm Instinct is progressive enough for a coil?

I'm waiting for some of those rear wheels to turn up in the Buy/Sell section....I am sure they are in tip-top shape after the race.

The epitome of freeride. His name is synomous with remote, big-mountain, missions while still throwing it down at Rampage

Soory, late to the game on this one.
I think rider weight is an enormous factor. I am 6'2" 195-200 lbs with riding gear.
Before the volume spacer thing really took off a few years ago, I was airing up a RS Monarch + shocks to 210 to get the appropriate sag on my Nomads and Devinci Spartan. That shock just cannot function long-term with that air pressure. I've learned in the past 3 or so years to run a lower air pressure like 185ish and run a hefty amounts of volume spacers.
Moral of the story, air shocks can be really tricky for the folks that are 200+ as I have heard they are tuned for the 160lb(?) rider from the factory.
When they function right, they are great.

Is there is any buzz about the Steven's Pass bike park re-opening this year? Perhaps those "TBD" dates are an indication that it is possible.
