Read my post!

MTBR is all well and good but surely it would be better to have reveiws from people who use it on the same stuff / trails as we are going to...

Also on forums you get a general idea of peoples attitudes and whether or not to bother respecting their opinions and amount of common sense which is more useful than scanning a load or random internet reviews.

 most people know peoples attitudes on here anyway so would work, maybe if only full members + could   post on it and newbies e.t.c can read it as then people know people as they will have posted before, also stopping newbies ruining the thread

   (not against newbies just an idea)

Say you can't post a review, til 100+ posts?

I still reckon submitting a review to the Mods, and they post it in the main section of SDH is the better plan.....

 though then mods can chose which reviews they like without others seeing ones that arent used

It could also be good for kit, e.g what ripped easy, what was comfatable etc...

my personal feeling on this is that most people having ridden enough to compare said item too

an exampleto this using my own knowledge s dh forks

i have ridden breifly all manner of 40's boxxers, 888's and travis', but i have only ridden 40rc2's, mainly older boxxers and 05 888's for any long period of time, therefore i feel my knowledge isnt good enough to give a balanced review in comparison to the competition.

I would rather have no information than info that wrong when it comes to buying things, as if i dont have enough info i wont buy. if i have bad info and buy, then discover its wrong im up s**t creek without a paddle...

Being perfectly honest I can count the people on this forum id trust with reviews on my fingers (and toes!) Purely because if I want to buy something on the back of  review, I want that review to be from a repuatble source not because "its an ace product as it matches my colour scheme" which seems to be a recurring theme on this forum.
In all honesty, there are better ways to get more viewers to the site. Which I think is one of the reasons of having this idea?
Just my opinion thats all.
