Wow going too fast much? that's almost a flat-land on the front wheel!


Also, I'm really dreading the fact that in a while the 12yearolds are going ot get home from school and bombard us with the "konas are crap" and "cause he's on a kona" comments...Be warned everyone.

Kona's are solid. Yes there are better bikes, worse bikes, and different bikes... it all boils down to rider skill, and how comfortable you are with your rig.
I happen to love the geo on the konas I've had. And currently am riding a stinky.

I have an urge to print and frame this picture... that's a pretty gnarly bail! =D

^ f*cking thank you. It's a goddamn picture people, if you want to argue over whether Kona is good or not, do it in the forums, I'm sure there are plenty of threads for it. It's partly the fault of the guy that mentioned the Kona in the first place, and partly the fault of the retards that followed suit and added their (uneeded) two cents on the topic.

Nice sequence, definitely a worthy POD.

Another I really dont like Kona!.. Their bikes to me feel boring and dead, You need to add a floating brake to get improved brake performance (Oh yay more weight added to a Kona, Make it feel like a lead coated boat anchor!!).. Out of all the 2009 bikes comming out I havent seen a more "Trendwhore" line-up!! Rocker-links are white, Lowers are white, Rims are white, The WHOLE F-ING BIKE IS WHITE!!! Let the rider do the talking not the bike!!
