 It looks realy good in that photo, looks much more 'aggresive' with the coil on it as well. Thats the kind of bike im looking for really, i want to try and get one bike for all things. My prophet was pretty good but a bit light weight if you know what i mean, and it couldnt be fitted with a coil either (designed around an air shock with a regressive spring rate 'Dale told me). Id looked at one a pitch a while back but im off to France again in june and though it might be a too much for it, thats why i ended up with the Norco, but seems i was probably wrong.
Did you get the u-turn domains as well?

 ye , they are the only ones that are 160mm the other domains are 180mm and 180mm is to much for the frame and wil ruin any warranty but 160mm is meant to be ideal up front on the pitch just couldn't afford lyrics or 36 es as I'm a student at the moment lol and my loan only really stretched to repairing bits and my pikes finally gave up the ghost after 2 years lol so i though id get a bit more travel , haven't riden it with the new forks on yet infact i haven even fitted them yet as the bike is back in kendal and im in uni in liverpool but it should be good.

 yeh it has taken some insane stuff , big crashes in the mountain - big drops, jumps etc on DH tracks , everything from the coffin gap and the step down at Ae to the ski jump at hamsterley , i have put a coin shock in it to stop it from bottoming the air shock as it wasn't as good with air , but ye done some crazy stuff from mental big all mountain and back country in the lakes and highlands down stuff that doesn't even look rideable and if you can hold on and lean back it will take you down it !!!! grate bike totally recommend it www.pinkbike.com/photo/5986204
that's it at the moment but iv just got some 160mm domains for the front , i prefer it to a full DH rig as you can trow it around in the air and carry, push and scramble up mountains with it for those gnarly in accessible descent lol gr8 bike
