This article was first published in the September 2007 issue of Vermont Sports A bunch of years ago, I wrote a TrailHeads column about making the transformation to a full-suspension mountain bike and the newfound joy in motion it produced. Well, since that time, I've gone for more suspension on my x-c bike, and I've been craving even more. So finally this year, I got my first free-ride/downhill bike. At each progressive step, the fun factor has gone to a new level, as has my love affair with biking. After 33 years of riding bikes, you'd think I'd have plumbed the depths of the sport, but it just keeps developing new tricks. And that fresh big travel steed allows me to do new tricks too, like railing berms, wheelie-dropping more than a foot or two and hitting bigger jumps. *****
