Re: middle age and riding like a jerk. Thought of that, but this is just fast direction changes off curbs and basic fundamental bike skills which I could teach a class on. I say with as much humility as possible, put me on my SC 5010 and I can hit 6 foot drops without hesitation, blast root and rock gardens, throw whips and ride out manuals. This rando bike has gotten out from under me in ways that I can't reel back in several times, the most recent putting me down so fast and hard I had to call an ambulance. It's really surprising.
Now a younger me might not have gotten so injured upon impact....
Fog cutter vs wolverine vs jawbone.
I'm leaning wolverine.
