There is some proper exposure along there, that's for sure.Nope, nope, nope, nah-nope, no, nup, no, no thanks. Great views though!

damn - was really hoping to watch the qualifying runs - oh well, just have to watch the replay5PM UK time... thats 1:30am
Definitely not all wine and roses with the HP bikes. Lots of pros and cons.Lots of interesting chat here on high pivots, Deviate vs Forbidden, @ozzybmx @Tubbsy @smitho @The Reverend @Jpez anyone I missed?
It has me re-thinking a HP as my next bike. Hmm…Definitely not all wine and roses with the HP bikes. Lots of pros and cons.
Sounds like correct shock choice and tune is paramount. Just sent a message off to EXT.
obviously I need one
It's an interesting watch, but certainly didnt go into buying mine thinking they'd be a revolution. Almost every suspension design is a trade off of some sort.Definitely not all wine and roses with the HP bikes. Lots of pros and cons.

Mines almost here and it’s got me re thinking my purchase! I’ll just stay the course and hope i get along with it. Not much choice out there at the moment anyway.It has me re-thinking a HP as my next bike. Hmm…
I had a bit of a 'shit, what have I done moment' when I watched that video and read the specific review of the Druid. It's certainly at odds with the other reviews that I've read and the few hundred pages of the MTBR thread.Mines almost here and it’s got me re thinking my purchase!

I rang Super Sports about a XL Sentinal, the only other bike out there giving me a boner and Robbie- what legend that guy is!- said he really has no idea whatsoever when he’ll se a xl Sentinal.
Most People on the FB page Froth over it. So I guess it’ll be a suck it and see situation. There is a lot to like about what I hear from actual owners, not just a dude that’s had 2 days to ride it , and a few things I’ll just have to see for myself.
Yep exactly the same. Agreed.I had a bit of a 'shit, what have I done moment' when I watched that video and read the specific review of the Druid. It's certainly at odds with the other reviews that I've read and the few hundred pages of the MTBR thread.
I don't get the sizing issue. Just size up or down. I'm perpetually between sizes - so it's an absolute win for me.
His other issues on both bikes all seem to stem from having an incorrectly setup or tuned shock. I'm not running the stock shock and suspected it might take a bit more finessing to get the right setup.
Either that or the Kool-aid is still working its magic on me....Yep exactly the same. Agreed.
I watched it with a sinking feeling. But then had exactly the same thoughts as you. This guy just has the wrong shock/tune in it and the well known stiffness in the linkages on the Deviate which work their way out after time probably didn’t help either.
That's pretty crazy stuff! Not quite sustainable trail building lolHow these dudes didn't win I'll never know...
I know all riders at this level take risks, but damn Brage put his body on the line for his edit. It's like, "Yeah Brage, we built you and lander...". The lander's at the bottom of a huge drop-down, is only about 5m longer and then just fires him into saplings, tree stumps, rocks, mud and water. Then he sends it anyway. Dude's a beast.
Yeah, I did think about that, but still probably better than most of the other excavator-built lines/features in the competition. It does seem a bit pointless to make features that are single-use only though (generally, not just this vid/comp).That's pretty crazy stuff! Not quite sustainable trail building lol
I notice that is similar to a lot of those insane slab and Northshore lines in BC too. The feature is just there on it's own, not part of any trail. Maybe because a lot of them are illegal builds and would be too nuts for a legit trail network.Yeah, I did think about that, but still probably better than most of the other excavator-built lines/features in the competition.
