Ok, either way if you get to go there that will be awesome!

Mike, you have no basis for saying that. Both pedals would probably ride pretty similarly since the only differences between them are a few grams and millimeters.

Nukeproof Prototype Rook Slopestyle Frame

This bike is genius! Major props to Nukeproof for basically making a slopestyle rider's dream bike! I think this will make a lot of people happy. Its really cool that they included the 2 main pro-level devices that every am slopestyle rider is looking for. :D

Sea Otter Pit Walk - What Have We Here?

Why yes, I do know that on most trails you lean the bike over to steer, and I did not mention the cables as a major hindrance to steering, but as a probable nuisance on tight and twisty uphill trails/XC where someone would both have a bike with all of these hoses on it and the necessity of doing lots of tight turns. I understand your criticism but just don't read too far into this, it was more of a joke but in some situations all of those hoses would definitely cause some issues.

Sea Otter Pit Walk - What Have We Here?

If I saw a bike with as many hoses coming out of the front as that Trek with the Adaptrac system, I would think there was a squid attached to the front of the bike! All of those hoses must really make it hard to find the right knob - "s**t, i just wanted to change my seat height, but switched into 30th gear and put 150 psi in my tires instead!" Also, something I don't think was mentioned before: all of those hoses (10 approximately) would somewhat restrict steering performance because of all of the hoses piling up in the way of the bars, or getting caught on things, or just causing interference because of the cables' stiffness. It's not a major issue, but it would definitely be irritating! Mountain bikes in general should drop some cables or combine some functions of the existing ones because having a mess of noodles hanging off the bike isn't really worth the minor conveniences it offers. TL;DR - less cables, less trouble
