I’d look at Marin. They’ve been getting great reviews for good geometry and value in the lower-priced end of the MTB market. https://www.marinbikes.comOriginally Posted by ChuckSS

Whoa now there's some cross-forum posting happening there!
A bike thread here goes over a hell of a lot better than a gun thread there...
I don’t like to think one can buy skill with a bike any more than with a gun, but this thing is a real game changer for me.
Just need to ride an early 2000's hard tail with V brakes again to see how far bikes have come and how much more capable they are. I get my old one out every so often to remind myself. [emoji1]

Still getting used to the slightly different riding position and getting the suspension dialed to where I like it, but the Ripmo continues to impress. Here are some shots from a couple pre-work rides yesterday and this morning. Check out the large sections of aspen forest that were mowed down during one of this past winter's avalanche cycles.
Watching urban downhill videos stresses me out. Well done video though. There are a couple of crash out takes toward the end.

I saw this and his much better (IMO) trials video he posted earlier and my comment to my kids was: He will end up badly injured or killed if he keeps this up for a decade. Huge balls, great riding, but still...

Jess, can you say where the picture was taken? I'm near CDA, curious if that trail is near here. Good looking bike.
