I stopped by the local Poo dealer today and they had a Rush set up for demo rides. This is not a Snodeo supervised ride it is a heres a helmet go see what it will do. Having been a trail rider in the past I can appreciate a good trail machine, and proceded to kick the Poo out of it. My verdict is it's like riding an old Yammie monocross suspension set up right. I jumped it tried landings in every way I could get it to land and it ate up every one without a wimper. No sharp unexpected hits or transfers to the spine.Just sucked it up and came back for more. I really can't see it with a long track, but if you are an aggressive trail rider try one out before you make any judgements.
