Park bike advice

I have a DH bike with 29" wheels and I like the stability when I'm airborne. I bet you'd get used to jumping your bike given some time, if this isn't just about looking for a way to justify buying a new bike. If you are just looking for an excuse to buy a new bike then hell yeah, get a 27.5"!

Check out this dude named Max with the M29 (which literally used to belong to Aaron Gwin). He's on a 29er designed for World Cup DH racing and can throw that thing around like mad, so it's not the wheel size that decides if the bike is nimble and jumpy:

Should I swap out for a 27.5" V10, or might something like the Transition TR11 (27.5") be more of what I'm looking for?

M16 is probably worth adding to that list. I‘be never ridden a TR11 and have very little time on a V10 but I think the M16 may be a little more lively. It’s always a blast at N*

The V10 is definitely one of the smooshiest DH bikes I have tried. I personally liked it and thought it jumped well. If you want something more nimble check out the Pivot Phoenix. I didn't grab one because I wanted more rear end squish. I have a 2021 Scott Gambler and think it's pretty incredible. I find it to be more playful and nimble then the SC V10 and it's highly adjustable. I can run all wheel sizes and mullet. It's also on the lighter side and pretty much equal to the SC. I personally like the 29" wheels for the rocky stock. It's nice/safe to be able to take any line I want. I demoed a Nomad and its definitely more agile, but more easily knocked off course.
