  Cheers fella,
  Well if you fancy riding more, you should check out this internet meetup group. Nice bunch of people and theres a ride almost every night!
  Varied range of rides available!
  http://mountainbikes.meetup.com/118/
  they have a facebook group too, most of it is in south machester so u could be sorted!?
  let us know if u get on it!
  My bike is a prophet 2 and i use it for xc/trails, all the heavy duty stuff is left to the Orange, i used to ride the orange xc but its heavy (and so am i) so the prophet is very versatile, oh forgot to mention, on it you can change it between XC/Freeride mode, with a 5mm alan key u can slacken the head angle , takes literally 1 min so u can attack the downs more!

  Hi Matey,
  I found the Rush to be very light but felt a bit fragile, the rush is heavier without a doubt but the 140mm front and back you can use your compression/lockout to get up the hill and then hammer the hell on the way down.
  If you plan to hit any drops and jumps get a prophet, if your riding flat everywhere then a rush! Dont get a left tho, they are crap.
  Se if your local bike shop wil give u a test ride on one!
