Front tire is badly worn and I don't completely trust the Kenda Equilibrium rear tire yet. I set the rear sag, but didn't bother to check the shock clickers. Turns out the rebound was screwed in tight. No wonder it was harsh!

Welcome to the forum!

Good video. I've heard a lot about Akeley riding from my friends in the Golden Eagles club who come down to my area for the annual Wudi Rides (started when I challenged one of the club members to quit whining about the snow and come down South to ride with me ), but this is the first I've seen of the trails there. It looks like fun, and it looks like you're getting along with the bike very well.
I hope you enjoy your Gas Gas. I love mine.

Matt Stavish, at Checkpoint Off-Road, will be a very good semi-local resource for you. Matt is a former Factory Gas Gas off-road for the US National Gas Gas Team.
His dad, Bill, makes some very good and good priced bits for GasGas bikes.

Good Riding to You!
Jim
