I'll bet! As a northwest Washington resident I have access to amazing terrain not far off of what NSMB is all about, and I'm sure we all skew the meter in a weird direction for bikes.
I ride a 135mm trail bike, but with inserts in the tires because rough terrain and slippery shit! Compare that to when I took a demo ride from Sea Otter Classic where Mike talks about in the article and I felt wildly over biked on a 150mm bike. Made me wish I had taken a groad bike it for a spin.
But tomorrow morning when I ride my local? I'm loving the slack trail bike with inserts because PNW.
