The reason there's no suspension on Ryan's bike is because in competitive trails mountainbiking you want to be able to place your wheels and stick them there...extraneous wheel movement would throw balance and timing off and ruin the stunt.
sweet...not a big fan of engine noise in the forest as well...specialized makes some great bikes...my 1st was a rock hopper...my buddy just got himself a specialized enduro...i have a klein attitude, klein adroit, and a old gary fischer joshua...wife has a trek...AND i just put down a deposit on a new Kona Dawg D.Lux...cant wait...hope to head up to whistler to ride next year, well and this winter too of course...you snowboard too?
