Heres mine and Little V's new MTBs. Ben bought his own Btwin a few weeks ago. (from savings acrued over his life) as I said he could have one for Xmas but he wants a new console... Mine is a Python aquired yesterday
I know a few people who have been running stumpies for more than a decade with no more than a shock service. Great bikes.I think it is a 2006 stump jumper expert. Have had it from new, still a cracking bike. Used mainly in Thetford Forest.

This is my new (used) MTB, I am still very, very bad at it but I keep hitting the trails.. Maybe one day I won't be too scared of falling down.

I was suppose to be faster and easier to get over the rocks and roots... I don't see it.. But is a nice bike. No complains there
The more cautious you are the more you crash and burn.
If you go really fast your not able to crash at the hazzard as you've passed it
You do still crash but not where you thought so much better for your confidence
Keep hearing this.. People I ride with said they are going to cut my breaks off..
So far my confidence going downhill in none existent.
Good thing I am fairly strong going up the hills so I gain time up... and they cut it out and pass me going down..
Is no surprise to me I am the same on the road.
they are joking... I hope!I wouldn't ride with impatient twits like that. I wouldn't even associate with them.
As long as you enjoy it ..takes a lot of practice to go quicker without a visit to A&E
