Tandem MTB
I also posted this in the tandem section;
Thinking about pulling the trigger on a Ventana full suspension tandem MTB. Looking to ride mostly fire roads in our area due to the obvious problem on singletrack and that we would prefer to do on our singles. Have not read much here on off road tandems.
Anyone here with expirence with one and how long the learning curve was? Stoker is not yet convinced it will be as much fun as the road tandem.

Planning ahead as stoker gets comfortable off road on a tandem.

Haven't done it myself but a couple guys in our Wed night group have taken theirs on fairly technical singletrack rides. Of course their stokers have been their teenage sons and they zinged right along. In fact that has inspired me - - think I'll try my hand behind my friend JD next summer just to see what it's like.
