Rode Skookum Flats for my first time. This bike kicked some butt. I am used to riding a bike with longer travel or my trusty 29'r hardtail. I had not ridden a 26"mtb in a few months. The trail starts out smooth but soon enough comes the rocks and roots. Lots of them. It didn't take too long to find some short steep sections and some descents. The bike handled both very well. This was about a 12 mile out and back ride. On the way out the bottom bracket felt a bit low but it was just me getting used to a 4" travel bike.

The bike was a lot of fun to ride.
Liked the parts spec.
No real dislikes.
