@gmarte12 The ASR5 and the 575 are the same frame. However, since the ASR5 only has 5" of suspension, it drops the headtube angle, and makes the bike more responsive. I look at the ASR5 as a longer travel cross country bike, and the 575 as more of a rideable all mountain bike. I love the ASR5 because it climbs wonderfully, downhills much better than a 4" bike, and just preforms wonderfully everywhere. But, with that said, I am not a DownHiller. There the 575 is better.
thankyou so much for posting this! I worked at Snow Mtn Camp in Nevada City in 96 and 7 (i think that was the tears anyway) as the MTB instructor and took the good riders on this track plus lots around round mtn and down to the yuba. It has always been a plan to return to the states and ride this amazing track again. thankyou again. Go ride it again for me, and while youre there, do the yuba switchback and have a swim naked too!
This was awesome I just got done going down keystone canyon yesterday now I'm looking forward to go down something like this in a nice forest setting

@otwayninja The Trail along the Yuba is one of my next videos for next summer. And as for the swim, I always do.
