The switch from Full suspension to hardtail!!

I am thinkin of switching to a hardtail to simplify and to improve my skills. I am really excited to do this but ive been spoiled with my Kona stinky . . (Totally decked out). I am most likely gunna to this switch but its tough and i need some feed back from you guys. Thanks!

I've never ridden a fully for long but I know that riding a HT keeps me smooth.

do it!
i switched from a gt dhi(totally oversquishy fs) to a minuteman in october for the offseason. its fun
you get used to it pretty quick. it took me half a ride to get used to it

hardtails are so much fun thats all i gota say

I just made the switch and love it, but I don't think I'd be able to live life without an FS rig. It's on it's way.

My advice would be to have both if it's in you price range. If you find that you're riding one a lot more, you can sell the other.

I guess it all depends on your style of riding. If it's all over the map (like mine I guess) then both is just the thing. If it's just one, you owe it to yourself to switch to the HT, you can always switch back later, and in the meantime you'll be fine-tuning your skills.

i just got a ht and i love it. you can do so much more than on your fs, you can flick it around easier.
I still have my VPS3 and i switch back and forth

I just switched from a VPS fluid to a DMR. The only thing that is different is drops with sketchy landings ( huge ruts, trees on corners after drops, etc ). The switch back was otherwise painless. If I could afford both I would $$$, but the Hardtail is just more versitile.

werd! hardtails rule! iam never going to switch. i just have to much fun on mine. if i were ever to switch to anything it would be to bmx. but i think ill stick with my 250

i switched and its the best thing ive ever done. then i decided to buy another fully and its the dumbest thing ive done in a while

I'll let you know.

were you at milestones the other day? I was on the white vps there

Ya i was at milestones. I was on the stinky. I gunna sell this bike http://www.pinkbike.com/modules/photo/?op=view[HTML_REMOVED]image=76158. Its a decked out 2001 Kona Stinky and I'm thinkin of gettin a Norco hardtail.

Do it.
