It does still seem there are big differences in "east coast" versus "west coast" riding style. (Thinking back to the 1980's when Fat City went with short stays and steep angles for tight trails.)
I liked the 29er I had. Although if I get another mountain bike in the future, it will be a shocked design. Unless I turn left and get a fat bike of some sort. Maybe, just maybe 4" wide tires would have enough cushion for me on trails.
