If you don’t want to go full DH just bump up to a 170mm enduro rig. I’ve hit everything creek has to offer on my Commencal Meta and we have both (for the most part) survived.

170 is less than an inch more travel than 150 . I'd prefer quality over quantity when it comes to suspension all day everyday. Get your suspension serviced and have someone help set it up it makes a world of difference when things work properly

I’m not racing enduro or doing tricks in the air. I love the thrill of hitting big features but can’t afford the price of an imperfect landing (to my body or my gear.) My supreme DH can hit every jump at Creek just as well as the 150mm bikes. There’s no comparison when it come to the steep and technical stuff. 200mm inspires more confidence and handles mistakes better. Go big. You won’t go wrong ... as long as there’s a chair lift to take you up, of course.

I can manual for like 10 solid feet.
You shut your mouth and rip that thing with the homies this summer. I have spoken.
This is the way.
