Had my hands on this for less than a week and I'm already in love - been out playing on it most days and it is actually out of this world!

Mondraker ..seem to be the brand taking all the risks and getting all the angles right ..glad you are enjoying the new toy !
By the way does that fox sitting on your shoulder go everywhere with you ...or is it a new breed of bushy tailed guinea pig ?

It's my speedometer for when I don't have my garmin running, on the shoulders shows 0mph, just behind shoulder aprox. 15mph, and fluttering behind is 30mph plus... |

Looking lovely, my next bike is hopefully going to be a Dune RR the mondraker Geo looks awesome, seem to be years ahead of everyone and other manufacturers are finally trying to catch up.
Only thing I don't like about the mondraker line up is there use of formula brakes, awesome when they work but they will let you down eventually
What are your goals for next years racing?

Well you must have been motoring on that third pic! Yeah, it was a flat piece of trail and I wanted to use that 2inch piece of root in the background as a launch pad... So I had to get my pedal on!

I like my formulas, have them on my Cube Fritzz, the Ovals, and they haven't let me down yet just the occasional high pitched hum when I'm pushing up haha! Aim is to race both Scottish downhill series, and British Downhill series and pick up some UCI points so I can enter Fort Bill World Cup in 2016! Ambitious but I like having a goal to chase! |

Sounds good, would be awesome to get enough points to qualify for Fort Bill weekend. Do you reckon you have enough pace to get through the pre qualifiers and qualify for the main race and get on the redbull tv player? |

I've got it stock at the moment, there isn't much I'd change tbh haha, think that when we get rear shock tuned once I've bedded it in they are wanting to put a ti spring in for me, and swap bars for carbon. Also haven't got it running tubeless yet.
You don't know that until you race against them, or who will be racing. It's 18 months away, if I make the same progress I have made since I first rode a bike 18 months ago who knows what could happen!
It's so different to the pulse, main thing I notice is it being lighter, which helps me a lot, and I just seem to have just really gelled with the suspension set up.
