When was that then? Is my new classed as an aggro 29er?? It had SIS! Fair point… Depends on your point of view I suppose. Stooge is like a big BMX. In the wild it is very good. Great fun. The 29er FS market has plenty of playful choices too.
Fun and fast are two different things in my opinion. My Remedy 29er was crazy fast over pretty much everything, which is either fun or terrifying depending on your standpoint. No bad thing as I only break myself on dirt jumps…. Longer distance or fast nasty downhills — 29er.
I can still do whips far better on a 26inch than I can on the 29ers, although that probably says more about me than the bike.. No issues that are not pilot related getting it in the air or around corners!! I went from a 29er stumpjumper with rather more XC style geometry, i think around Ive now switched to the 29er Enduro, it has a HA of Most fun I had on it was flyup , was obnoxious what I could get away with in the rocks, made the jumps flowy rather than hard work.
Just could not get the wheels feeling right. A bit of difference with using roots or similar as a lip to take off but not really that much. I was surprised by all this, I changed shocks in my Hemlock once and it went from a wheels-on-ground traction finder, to a bouncy jumpy fun bike. I knew it could make a difference but I had no clue it was so much.
Far better than I am as a rider. This comment resonates with me though:. The Smuggler is certainly crazy fast. No spiky movements. The reason for this is the way a skier handles the extra weight as they carve turns. This is because as they change direction the slope is actually pushing back into them.
They basically weight more in that moment. In order to not collapse they have to push back into the slope and equalise that extra force with their legs. As you get lower, then execute your push with your legs, you should always be going through a consistent range of motion.
Your back should be the same angle throughout. A lot of the time when people start thinking about their push, they actually push all the way through to straight arms as well.
Remember to come in set up, get lower to your bike, then extend all the way back through with your legs and finish back where you started with straight legs and bent elbows.
Winding your push up to be at its maximum at the top takes a little time to perfect. Most riders release the pressure too early. Your legs should be strong at the top. When it comes to jumps and bunny hops you want to break your technique down into how much of it comes from push, and how much comes from pull.
You basically want to do as much as you can while on the ground, and as little as possible in the air. What are you doing in the air?
Are your legs straight? Or are you doing the tell tale pull in the air with bent knees? That will take practise, but the more you do on the ground the better your jumps will feel.
Going bigger is all about making a smooth consistent drive with your legs. The more you commit the more time you have in the air. What you need to do instead is be patient and drive your weight back into the shape as it progresses.
It was my first time on a real trail ride with a 29er, and I was fairly impressed. The biggest drawback for me at the time was a bit of toe overlap with the front tire; however, this could partially be attributed to the fact I was running platform pedals.
However, the ride was convincing enough that I was ready to give the big wheels another try. The next 29er I had the opportunity to throw a leg over was the Fisher Rumblefish, a few months later.
After I got the bike I took it out to the local river front trails in Edmonton, Alberta. Seeking out the rootiest sections of trail I could find, I did my best foot out-flat out drifts through every turn I could find, and banged it over every obstacle on the trail. However, the Rumblefish handled everything I could dish at it solidly.
I even found it to corner reasonably well, and I was pretty comfortable on the bike right away.
