I like the Blur. I'm more of an XC/All Mountain guy, this bike is the perfect blend for me. I can pedal it up and it has enough suspension that it can handle some more technical stuff. I actually did the Whistler Bike park on it last month, got lots of comments from the DH/Freeride crowd (hey Mr Cross Country!) They were pretty impressed I think to see this fool on a 5 inch suspension bike riding A-line (now I want to get a bigger bike to ride that kind of stuff. The bigger hits really beat the crap out of me).
The only thing I'm not crazy about is the low bottom bracket. Rode some trails in Pemberton and bounced my pedals off the rocks a few times. The trails out there are absolutely awesome. Gotta go back some time for sure.
