Hiya,
Been riding now for 12 months but really want to get into downhill riding, I love trail riding but would love to feel the addrenaline rush of some of the downhill tracks around the country.I've done a little research on bikes and i'm favouring the giant glory at the moment, what are peoples veiws on this bike and what would they reccomend?
I forgot to mention that i am 37 would this be a problem? Obviously i will get all the armour as it will probably take me a lot longer to heal than someone 10 years younger lol .
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Otherwise it is OK.

Similar spec to the Gambler just different geometry.
If it suits you, and if you can find it under 1500£ it will be good.
