I'm 6'4" and I have yet to find a 29er that feels comfortable on the steep and rough trails. The RM Altitude 29er is close, the new Ellsworth may be worth a look too. I'll wait a few more years until they work out all the bugs and get a decent fork selection.

"Just learn some bike control and you can make it over the same obstacles." Isn't that what we used to say when the suspension travel kept getting longer. My Blur LT has more travel than my first DH bike and is faster than my XC hardtail on all but the smoothest trails!

Okay, the ad says Float (air sprung) but the fork is clearly a Vanilla (coil sprung). If you missed it on the lowers then extra springs should give it away.
