My venerable M9 will see no changes for 2015… can barely justify owing it as it is. Only about 5 days on it in 2014, maybe more this year.

Actually contemplating parting out my DH rig to build a 120mm trail bike. Only rode mine 4-5 times last year as well.

F me too. Totally regret buying my DH bike last year. Now I'm faced with taking a major bath on it.

I actually rode my DH bike way more that my 160mm AM bike. Didn't even assemble the 160mm bike for 2014 :lol:

I'm a weirdo that rode the park about 80 or 90 days last summer, though some of those days can be like 3 laps. '15 glory coming in spring :)
Love DH riding but if I lived pretty much anywhere else I would go 1 trail bike

After some days in the park decided to change my trustworthy slayer to new Darkside! L size, retro wheels, wide range castte for some pedalling in case of shuttle absence.

Happy with it, having more fun
