I seem to have a problem. For some reason or another i like to ride aggressively now on my local trails. I bottomed out bike noticeably for the first time today, but i did it 2x. I think i may be starting to like this aggressive XC thing. DAMMIT:crash:

Is it sprung for your weight properly. Have you made sure you have the right spring and valve setting on it. If all this is good then it may be time for an upgrade of bike.

also check for faults in the shock as well. It could be a sign of wear and tear.

the bike is fine. It's just that i'm starting to get into stuff that the bike isn't neccessarily designed for
