Congrats! It's an amazing rig. I'm on my third season with it and plan on riding it for a forth. I honestly have not done many drops over 3 foot with it, but I have bombed some gnarly ass downhills and she holds together like a champ. It's an amazing all around bike, I use it a lot for basic trail use. You will not be disappointed I can guarantee that.

 great looking bike. im going to get mine tomorow from the local bike shop. its the 2008 version of this. how does yours handle on the freeride portion of the trails?

 very nice bike u have .
