How do you like that thing? I got a delivery confirmation thing from ups about a week ago.

I had an '01 x-vert carbon on it. It rode pretty nice.

For "What _____ should I get?" questions, you've got to say your size, aggressiveness, riding style, terrain you'll be riding, etc. Then we can give you advice.

Yeah, that makes lots of sense.
At your weight, a super T could handle a 15 footer assuming you aren't just falling off stuff. A monster on that bike is stupid overkill.
Personally, I'd get a new boxxer with U-turn so you could trail ride the thing.

Interesting, I've never heard ANY Monster T referred to as light. Its 10.5 pounds minimum. I'd look at a Shiver and save a 1.5 pounds off the front end and gain some travel. Or an 888 and loose even more weight and gain even more travel.....

Edit, I realize this is a 7" bike now. A Super T or Boxxer would fit he bill nicely.

The older Monster t's are still heavey. Try to find a Super t or something similar.
