Make the pumpdown low enough that it is easily pumpable when ridden and provides good speed. Making the pumpdown contour into the next lip similar to a ski jump is a good way to maintain speed as well since you can pump through the whole dip and up and off the next lip, great for boosting. As...
No idea about the atomlab, I had the aitken seat with rails which i believe is slightly different than the pivotal version. It was nice and has just enough padding to make it not hurt at all. They last a good while too. (pivotal and railed versions are probably both good) I just ordered the kink...
Im the same height and Ive ridden frames of both sizes. Anything shorter than 22" can feel really cramped at times. I like the extra room, especially since I have always had my front tire buzz my toe on x-ups and barspins and it drives me nuts. Go with the 22, you wont regret it.

I thought it was impressive, and I also thought it looked pretty good. Mad dog has those cash rolls down and they are insane too. Its just a shame how everything gets hated on one way or another these days..
Real talk. They rattle and fall apart all the time. Go for the premium slims, or something similar. Danscomp as mentioned before is always reliable. As for seats, the odyssey aitken is a great choice, took me a long time to wear out mine.
Yeah hard to find a mtb that is turndownable I agree. In a perfect world everyone could land with their knees locked and not have to absorb any impact. Until then your knees bend and in most cases you cant keep your feet on the ground on either side of your bike for long.. (unless you can...
Indeed. I feel like I could get away with alot more with an inch shorter chainstay on my liquid.. However it is still the best riding 24" frame I've felt. May have to build myself a custom frame at some point soon.:rolleyes:
