There's a brook in my local woods with vertical banks either side, too wide to jump. I was there on Monday and some super-cool fully sussed awesome dude was stacking logs on the far side so that if you jump the brook the logs will help carry your momentum and get you out the other side without severe injury. So then this fella proudly announced he's been "trailbuilding" before ploughing into the brook WITHOUT lifting his front wheel at all, but instead relying on his FS steed to cushion the impact, preventing both himself and his bike shattering into a million tiny pieces.
Is this really what full suss bikes are designed for? I know they're more forgiving but ffs.
I was tempted to jump it myself and up the super-cool stakes but I just rode off on my hardtail 
Bet he felt super cool on his big bouncy bike.
