> ya when i was ridin my Powerlite ALs, if I switched over to my brother’s Holmes it felt so heavy and clumsy compared to my bike. but then once i’d ride mine again, i’d be all squirreled out in the air on the powerlite cause its almost too light/responsive. plus, when you guys used to hit decent sized gaps at the trails on your AL bikes, did they make a wierd, high-pitched honing sound on the face? mine did, it was crazy.

The worst was the slight clip on top of the landing that you wouldn’t even notice on a chromo frame but pinged super loud on an AL. I tried to stay on both bikes the same amount just so I was used to both. Had them both set up the same. Pitchforks, slams, 180 profiles,etc.
