    Thanks for the entertainment Mr Akrigg. I'm most impressed by how you manage to "hover" such a heavy bike in low speeds. Guessing years of trail/trialriding and massive strength goes a long way... Needed that inspiration (again) because after I switched to only emtb I've been more and more charging it, and not so much playing it as before. That has to stop!
