hahaha, the don's do-able on big bikes, but it isn't all that great. too many steep uphills to really enjoy the ride - in my opinion anyway. heck, even my 37lb fluid makes the uphills quite an experience. riding the don, i'd rather have a light trail bike - or even a xc bike for that matter - than a big dh bike any day.
