I checked this week and my trails are the same/ just as awesome as 2006 and 1996 too..
Tubed - [s]check[/s] by 2005 we already had people telling us how awesome tubeless for quite some time.
So, we're saying that it's pre-2005? Is it nearly retro?
My newest bike is 2010 & still ticks all the boxes for 2005 - have I been robbed?
