Selling just because I want an 09 something, probs gonna be a Commencal too...09 Boxxer are bigger, mission control, power buldges, etc, looks sick. Fill me in on the BOS internals!

If you like your Turner, try a Commencal. Also, if you want light, don't look at BOS, the are over 8lbs. Personally it's between the 09 Dorado and new WC...They look amazing!

Good thinking, haha. Ya, the frame was nice and light, very solid feeling. He could of definitely lightened it up aswell. Infact, he was from pinkbike...you may be able to find him and ask yourself. He was a writer?

Socom, pretty solid choice. I hear the welds drift on Intense frames though, because it says 'FRO' it scares me. Not because I'm scared of breaking it, but for resale value, I think the second user would be a little more skeptical about buying it second hand.

To me it was the same as the v10, never tried a Glory. I heard they are on the heavy side though, and I like keeping my bikes as light as possible

Ya I was lucky enough to try one out. They felt like v10's, slugish and they had that dead feeling to them. I'm sure lots of guys are looking for that in a DH bike, but not me. I want a playful active bike.

fontana is actually pretty technical in some spots, the worst part is the wall. a big ass pedaling section that sucks. runs are usually around 2:00 min. to 3:00 min. depending on the race.

Hey man, I haven't decided yet. It seems that everything I was looking for lies in the Demo, so I may keep it for another season and put a Vivid on it. Still, the DHR and Supreme DH still spark interest.

I would suggest going to South Mountain. Ride Holbert. When you get to the bottom (if you're not DEAD, its tough if you've never ridden it), there will be drops and jumps and things like that. The other places are kind of locals only, so you have to go with some one.

All of the dirt jumping and freeride spot are kind of hidden. The NRA pit and the "Playground" are a good time.

Anywhere I can. I like to ride to ride street in Scottsdale and at ASU, I like to ride downhill at South Mountain (Geronimo and Holbert), and I like to jump out at the NRA pit and The Pit. You?
