Thank crew, for the most part I have had the same experience as the pinned platform crew. A recent trip to Cottonwood Canyon in an area I had never ridden before goofed me up. I was okay on downhill sections (XC Style trail) but getting out of the saddle on really rocky ascents had me falling off the pedals. And I have a good pair of 5/10 with Odyssey oreos.

But I blame it on riding my road bike too much. Seriously I can handle most anything at Bootleg, but Cottonwood kicked me around.
