went out yesterday to bear creak and instantly turned around due to mud.

How is Rutabega riding atm? Any other downhill focused spots that are solid?

Thinking about my next bike, I am 6’3 210 with gear, and want a fun poppy AM bike that can handle some steeper jumps too, and leaning towards the 140.

As I was looking around, I came across the 5010 too (can’t afford unfortunately), in XL, and surprisingly the geo numbers are pretty close to the S4 status 140, largest difference is a ~25 mm stack diff, while other measurements are fairly close.

While the S5 just jumps dramatically vs a Xl 5010 in all other categories.

id love to demo a status, but can’t find any near me, so going off reviews, and other riders my size who did the same.

Basically, anyone else around here done the same? think it would help the complaints about issues on mellow terrain, but with it being so slack I believe it would be able to still shine in steep terrain.

Searching for a Transition Patrol like bike, but without the price tag (2500 budget).

Came across the sight on EVO and heavily considering this.

I just am worried about it not being a “party bike” like the patrol is, although when looking at geo (minus bb height), everything is pretty darn close.

Is it just marketing on transitions side? Will the Sight still be able to flick around, jump off side hits, and overall be enjoyable?

Or will this be muted and planted compared to the patrol.

I also considered the status for this (same thing, similar geo) but think it will be a bit much for daily use.

usually always send off the season at A Basin, but since copper shares the same date unsure now.

Who is your pick and why? Any park still going at copper? maybe the hike park is kicking still
