Tellico State Line Ridge on a full suspension and a hardtail

This is a 2.5 mile descent down State Line Ridge in the Tellico ORV area, drop is approximately 1000 ft. Camera man is on a Cannondale full suspension and the subject is on a Giant carbon hardtail. At the bottom the forearms and hands are beginning to tire. A hard fall on this descent would almost surely mean a broken bone.

@joshl85680 depends on what you are riding, if your trails are groomed and you will not be riding aggressivly get a hard tail, if your trails suck and you will be riding aggressive pickup a FS. Simply no comparison, just sold my hard tail for a FS, goddamn its like riding on charmin now :D. no aching joints when I get home.

@joshl85680 the dune r seems like a good choice, but the price... i would try getting the means for the modraker, it would make you more pleased :)

@frozenskipper cool i want something that i can cycle through the woods to school on then on the weekend i can rip up laggan wolftraxs with something with about 140mm to 160mm of travel like the Lapierre Spicy 216 then get a fork upgrade in the future or save for another half a year and get the Mondraker Dune R what do you think?

@joshl85680 i got a umf hardy 1 team, it's a hardtail freeride bike, not very big, if u want an urban freeride bike, concider it, if u want a downhill bike, get something else.

[joshl85680]

ok right i have £1500 and i want to get a decent mountain bike but i dont know weather to get a hardtail or full suspension this is a big deal coz it took me two years of saving on a shitty wage for this any ideas
