I consider this my all mountain rigid bike. (feel free to disagree on that terminology- its all good ). Anyhow, it is alot of fun and I ride it on the same trails as my Enduro.

Wicked picture man!!! You're hucking stuff on a rigid that most of the fully guys here wouldn't touch...SWEET!!
I mean "here" as in this forum, not "here" as in where I live. In my necks of the woods we ride big bike fully's. Hell even the XC guys ride like that, there's not much tame terrain here.

Dany: what's the deal with the seat post on the Norco?
is that some sort of telescoping seat post, or am I way off?
(curious as a taller rider who likes XCing his DJ bike)
i ride both my rigid (for now) monocog and my blizzard on the same trails,XC or AM.
some time this month,i'll be puttin a leftover ('nother project )100mm fork on the 'cog.
the blizzard (rocky mtn)is set up right now w/ 2.1"s,100mm marzocchi and deore V's,but at least by the end of summer (hopefully) it'll be sportin 2.5 f/2.25 r tires,avid bb7's (i already have the wheelset:sun rhynolite's on lx disc hubs),and a 130mm fork (then the 'cog will get that m'zocchi,as it's a better fork than the leftover).
Its a 04 Marin B-17 with nearly nothing stock.
