I used to have a pretty hard core Heavy tools screamer, spent alot on that.

Then i dismantled it, and it's ia suitcase in my Loft.

Now if i fancy a ride, my bog standard Haro Backtrail X3 does the job.

Yup, love freeriding etc but still ride up the hills, as I used to be into XC. Don't do DH, helmet is a Met Parachute, so not full on full-face.

Off to France July 1st on an uplift week, can't wait

Marzocchi only really make suspension, never really made bikes.

DMR are doing pretty well in terms of popularity (no idea about competitions etc), Flow frames are pretty tasty! Check out Cove (what I ride) from Canada. Expensive but awesome bikes.

Ahhh didn't read your post properly

Yeah, I'd say Marzocchi are the leaders still. Magura forks are coming up pretty strong (strong as in good, not strength) now though
