    Awesome video! Would you recommend step-deck trucking for someone who’s bored hauling vans and wants some more action and challenges?

The miles for me this year have been consistently over 2000 miles each week. Some weeks have been more. This week, I'm dropping in Canada, and I'll have 3000 miles. I've been fortchent to have a DM that's been with Melton for close to 20 years, and I've had no issues during my time here. So, I think that plays into some of my success.

    One old guy to another, I might buy this bike today! My current rig is a Specialized hard tail from 2004ish but I've always lusted after a full suspension Epic. I thought the purple might be weird but I saw and rode it in person, I like the color and this bike rides great. Good news for me is Specialized just put this model on end of season close out because they're already selling the 2025 model that has the SRAM no cable transmission. Not sure I want a drivetrain that needs batteries and I feel like I'll have more than $500 off leverage on a local shop that has a purple size large in stock!
