A Jet Pack for the Ground? The Trek Superfly 100 AL Elite

Would I feel like this on a 29er?

When I'm not dreaming of solo jet-powered atmospheric flight, I like to spend time doing a different kind of high speed travel -- traveling through the woods on single track trails atop my trusty mountain bike. The bike I'd ridden for a several years now needed to be replaced, so I picked up a new Trek 29er mtb. A few months on and 150-or-so miles in, here are my thoughts.

Before I Start: What Sort of Rider am I?
I would say that I'm a solidly intermediate rider. I've been riding fairly regularly (once or twice per week, weather permitting) off-road since the mid-'90s, primarily in the Midwest (MI) and in the Northeast (VA and MD). Most of my off-road rides are 20 miles or less. I don't do a lot of jumping, barreling off of cliffs or other extreme biking, and have never raced. I've mostly ridden with less-experienced bikers or gone solo, and because of these things (and an overwhelming desire for a long, healthy and pain-free life) I’m probably more cautious than many other riders. Don't get me wrong -- I do like to have fun out there, do push myself, and have wrecked a few times (with the scars to prove it). When it comes to really risky stuff, though, I err on the side of caution.Typically.
