4 practice days huh? You can never get enough rampage. All the content produced may not be the banger finals runs, but more practice time will mean more seshs and all round stokage!

I do see some potential but for most of us guys riding trail/ Enduro bikes does anyone actually use the pedal switch settings anymore? I haven't touched the shock switch for years. I never thought pedal switches were any good unless you were on some very smooth fire road or an actual road...?

We have one that's like steep roots in to drop to drop to steep roots to a last drop and once you hit those first roots you're committed or dead, coming out alive just feels awesome then power wheely the rest of the way out of the...
