    Thank you for getting me back into mountain biking. I ordered a Rocky Mountain Growler 40 last summer which is a hardtail. Thank you Blake Samson as your love for the hardtail is why I decided to buy one. Now I'm looking forward to building a full suspension next winter so I can get friends into it or at least give me a reason to have more than one bike. Its my first real mtb bike!! Finally showed up as winter hit here in Alberta Canada. Have yet to take her on the single track. So stoked and thank you GMBN for all your great content as it helped me do a few upgrades and switch to a moto style setup. You all have helped me get through the 'mild' Canadian winter. I put carbon bars on with a 35 x 40mm stem, some awesome XT brakes which Doddy's great video on his love for XT shows how much he loves them. I can see the passion in all the presenters you have on your great channel. Its inspired me to get out in the woods more and track my progress as a newb. Excited to say the least and looking forward, when our single tracks cross paths. Love you all and thank you!!! P.S. if you want a newb presenter to inspire more riders such as myself Nothing is keeping me here in Canada.
