What's so bad about them?
Suspension just adds unnecessary weight to the bicycle and it ruins a great cycling experience. If you have used suspension bicycles for a while you become lazy and let the bicycle do all the work for you. Not to mention riding out of the saddle is just a nightmare. Too much of your power is absorbed by the suspension and you lose that momentum. When it comes to hills with steep gradients you will be all over the place, whether you are expending all your energy standing or sitting. In my personal opinion they are too slow and heavy but they do give you good control over the bicycle in harsh conditions. It's just a personal preference. I have had a wide range of bikes in the past but none of them quite meet up to my standard non suspension bike. I implore you to give it a try. If you like cycling, you will love the transition.
I don't know if anyone else here feels the same way. -

I prefer hardtails myself - Had a cube Acid (with lots of upgrades), but sold it and left it in the Falklands...left with my Trek Cyclocross bike now (Crocket 7 Disc)...it's not bad, but can't exactly hit the local jumps on it...
Yeah, pedal sag can be a ride killer, but if you get a decent (see; expensive) suspension setup you can take all that out easily enough, or enough so it doesn't kill you...but still wouldn't buy one, you don't get the same "feel" of the trail with rear sus in my opinion...I used to blast down DH courses etc too on my Acid, and never had a problem...I made a full sized Bike out of wood once with wheels and everything.
Needless to say, it didn't last very long because my stupid ass thought it'd withstand the weight of a person lol.
I spent WEEKS on that thing too.
It has been done, and it works very well if done right...but it has to be carved from one piece rather than just planks bolted together etc... -
