They are all awesome.

How do you like your Nomad, I've owned 3 Santa Cruz's, currently a Blur LTc. Always like the look of the Nomad, but they weren't making them in carbon when I picked up the latest Blur.

My buddy has a large Heckler for sale that has been ridden maybe 5 times if anyone is interested.

The nomad is a great bike. Its more of an all mountain bike.

I love mountain biking!!!

In fact, I'm heading out to ride right now at oak mountain in Alabama.

I had a job where I traveled the US for the last 3 years and got to take my giant anthem with me everywhere I went. It was a great way ride some awesome trails in awesome places. I still dream of all the great rides I was lucky enough to have.

Everyone talks about going to moab with their jeep, but BY FAR the best rides I had on my bike were in Moab as well.

If anyone ever has the chance, get a $20 shuttle ride from one of the local shops and ride "the whole enchilada". It was 30miles long and a mile descent back to town. Best ride ever!
