I love underbiking with my Sam. I have some short, fun local trails that I first explored on my 5"-travel MTB...then the hardtail with a squish fork...and now my Sam. Sandy buff punctuated with shallow roots and sharp volcanics. Pure fun.
It's all about technique, weight/unweight, and having that last 10% available to lift the front tire as needed. On-the-fly shifting with Silvers on a Noodle is a pleasant challenge that makes me think ahead as to the gearing I want. Love the control I get descending with my hands in the hooks.
