Thanks dude! I was very pleased with it since it was my first attempt at a cinematic type vid.

I'm running stock jetting, stock PV, stock clickers. The jetting works very well since I'm at sea level, but I may need to go up a size on the pilot especially with cooler weather rolling in. The stock clickers seem to work well in any terrain, has great bottom resistance, although the forks can feel a bit harsh sometimes. I also got beat to a bloody pulp in a recent race where there were constant tree roots, but I believe it was because I had too much race sag and was riding in the firmer part of the stroke. I'm also blown away how much better the linkage shock is in the sandy whoops compared to a PDS shock - truly confidence inspiring. I will never go back to a PDS shock.

The one performance gadget I might consider is an alternative throttle tube like the G2 throttle tamer. Specifically for trials type stuff - it's like easy mode as far as keeping traction and not stalling.

I did change the rear tire last weekend, and upon doing so realized how poor the stock tire really is. I just went to a 110/100 Kenda IBEX, as opposed to the 120/100. It's not as wide but with Tubliss @ 5PSI I still get better hill climb traction, but I am reaping the benefits of the improved handling. The bike corners ridiculously well, it's like cheating. Incredible difference just by changing the tire.

Edit: Congrats on the new bike! It's truly an amazing machine. Very pleased with mine in the 30 hours I've ridden it.
