At the moment, I'm going out there all on my lonesome Hmmmm

Any vorbers going to attend?

And also, in your expert opinions, which bike should I take? Hardtail (running Psylos) or the squishy (6inch rear travel running Boxxers)?

the fully will be more forgiving if you screw something up or someone makes u take the rugged line etc etc. The HT will probaly be faster though

On something like a BSX course the hardtail is prolly a better choice.
But yeah once again it is a personal preference thing...

I think the BSX track is definitely a hardtail track- alot easier to clear the jumps because you haven't got suspension taking the edge of the jumps.
The freeride track might be beter on a fully though Hmmmm
