This is a great take on Baseline. I did it on a 130mm/65 deg trail bike, a dropper post with not enough drop and brakes that weren't Hayes Dominion. It didn't seem like fun at the time, even though I got to test my knee pads. I bought Dominions a few weeks later and I also can't get that place out of my head. Yoga Pants being rated blue is hilarious and dangerous.
Ya, In Alberta, you don't see many blues that look like that, It's definitely more of a Nelson blue, haha. I kind of love it though. My Ripmo had a 65 HT my first time out too, the extra little bit of slackness from the increased front travel helped, but honestly, the biggest difference in handling was stack height. Being able to be taller on the bike was HUGE for confidence.
I'm able to do a few lapse on the Baseline Mountain trails using my Rocky Mountain Growler powerplay Electric Bike . I don't need a shuttle service that uses a lot of gas to get up the mountain and also uses a lot of brake pads on the way down . though it would be nice to have an E bike designed to handle the double black downhills better .

Baseline is the best 🙌
