I think this a very good and relative question one needs to answer and it will determine what/how you set your suspension up. If _(big fvcking IF)_ you could somehow manage to always ride like they try to make you think they do in shredits, then your setup would be VERY different from that of your avg Joe who might give it a go sometimes along a trail, but mostly be letting the suspension do the work.
Me personally, even though I know what/how I should ride, I don't always and it shows in my speed and how fast I can corner etc., but when I do put in the effort, it's like a completely different ride/experience, but honestly, who can maintain that for an entire ride. Although you can't as easily just "sit there" on the rigid, you still can ride lazy and on this bike is where I really notice the difference between really moving/ pumping the bike, really throwing it over in the corners so those big side lugs on the 3.0" DHF can really engage.
