YES THIS IS THE DIRECTION MORE COMPANIES NEED TO GO, build strong, simple, reliable and reasonably priced bicycles, this will both expand the sport and make everything better. i live in whistler and love dh to death but its so hard to convince people to get into the sport and even once they do they end up quitting because of the huge cost of breaking bike parts, continous maintenance and repairs, bikes are to be ridden, not fiddled with constantly and accessorized with over priced gram saving colour matched nonsense. (if thats your thing whatever, but we shouldnt let it dominate the market) the world needs more simple and cheap freeride bikes, the sport is awesome but we shouldnt try to keep it in the hands of the over priviliged, we should share it with the people, more riders=more trail builders=more acceptance of the sport=more access=mo betta

maybe 1200

now thats a proper vod
