I have been riding for about a year starting of with 2 afternoons a week doing laps of smith-field and a family ride most week ends. But since trying some of the tracks that come down from copperload I am finding I rarely go all the way out to smith-field when I'm not with the family. I'm finding the tracks I seem to prefer are the rooty/rocky technical stuff. Over the last 2 weeks my brother has been in town so we have been trying to tick off as many track as we can with glacier rock and kuranda being the highlights.
I currently ride a xl alu norco sight which has been a excellent bike and has done every thing i have asked of it with out issue. The only time it has crossed my mind that I would have liked to be on a bigger bike was on kuranda. I'm not really interested in big jumps or going warp speeds but it would be fun..... I'm toying with the idea of buying a older 26" dh bike to try ride once a month or so and keeping my norco for during the week and family rides.
One of my work mate has offered to let me have a go on his dh bike so I'll see how that goes.
Any advice would be appreciated.
