To the shops and back, maybe the school run

Nothing exciting yet, as I only got into mtb a couple months back with that used Marin Pine Valley. When that snapped I was using the freebie bmx for a few weeks until that turned out to have a totalled bb shell. Originally it was get a mtb to get out of traffic and do a bit of XC and trails, but I found myself wanting to jump over everything.
Plan is to hit a local (technical) trail when the weather suits.
I appreciate the bike is really a 4X/DH/stunts kinda thing, but even bombing along to grab my coffee or run errands, it is super nippy and fun.
Plus, argument is standing for hours each day I should be improving my core strength.

Like a giant bmx, with better handling, if that makes sense. Seat is only useful when stopped...
Will upload a photo tomorrow now that it’s single speed. So much lighter and no-fuss. Had to get some other v-brake bosses for the forks, hopefully they will have a shallow enough shoulder to mount the front brake properly.
Anyway yea, standing room only, but way fun so far.
