CooL
lol, suspension is completely bottomed out, but his legs are straight...those legs and arms are a huge source of suspension too...all too many riders overlook that.
Guess you are a little too heavy for your set up buddy.... lol
Holy fkn shit man! This pic is amaaaazing,nice to se how things work when they are in use.
dude u owned that bike!!!!!!
damn, looks like you popped your back tire...
chill guys, this is kona's new 4x / xc bike 
if he goes another mm on the front his forks will hit the front tyre as fox 40s have a flat bottom not curved!"!!!
It hurts
It hurts
thats what happens when u ride a kona
dude stop ripping on konas
its annoying
its annoying
for people who were stupid enough to buy a kona maby
ya with a name like norco-six i would shut my mouth.
haha you suck bro.. good job on bottoming out a fox 40 and your back end
ha why the f*ck would you waste money on one of those look at that shit!
i agree with ride13509!!!!!!!!!
hahahhaahhahahahha this is really funy
haha this is funni
u eather are rilly fat
or u droped off sumthink big
u eather are rilly fat
or u droped off sumthink big
good thing he has a e.thirteen bash guard
why would u saying its a waste of money
i think he just took the air/oil pressure off the damper, the fox 40 and the tire and ride 1 or 2 metres
wouldn't work, the spring on the rear shock would hold it up, and you can see its still had the spring on 
yeh i agree wid hackel ether tht or its fuked i mean tht isnt normal nor is it anygood
he bottomed out. wow. at least he knows hes getting full travel from his bike, its good to bottom out every now and then, then you know your suspension is correctly set up.
You guys are retarded, bottom out is normal, and if your bike is setup right, you will bottom out once or twice on a harsh ride.
three words.......waaaaaaaaaaaay fat shit
so the kona bikes are the only one that bottom out...and that is why they are mediocre.....hahahahaha dumbasses....!!!!!
eh? all bikes bottom, dumbass
Wow you are retarded, suupers was defending kona because everyone was saything this is why you dont buy a kona when all bikes bottom out, f*ck i hate retarded people
f*ckk off anyone saying kona's are shit, there good bikes never had aby problems with mine, they must be good if fabien barel camr out with good results
that is suposed to hapen!!..if your bike don't bottom out that means that isn't setup right!
I dont get it, all you shit people dont understand that bikes do actually bottom out. Before you comment on peoples pictures. Think about it, do u actually know what you are talking about..or are you a keyboard gangster?
thanks guys mikey rides a kona, theres nothing wrong with them, why is evry one arguing over a pic. is arguing going to make bikes stop bottoming out
ya i y the f*ck do ppl think konas are so horrible
i agree ^^^^that reminds of that trek that isaw a long time on PB
oh
very nice job
hehehehhe
^^
very nice job
hehehehhe
^^
DAMN .. I hate these pics =(
good bike for street with this geo LOL buahaha xD
i have no idea how he bottomed out and bust both tyres... flatland from 30ft? lmao
dude thats so gay
he just took all the air out of his suspension so it looks like he did something big

do you know nothing? clearly, you just proved you know f all
there not air forks though ^^
id say hes either fat as hell or he over jumped it and flatlanded it and bottomed out the rear and frotn suspension as well as makin the rim hit the ground
nice grips fatty
invest in a treadmill
invest in a treadmill
hha wtf you muxt be a fat f*ck
It's pretty amazing how small downhill bikes look when they are conpressed.
some one tell us what actually happened pls
where can i get those rims?
omg more f*cking dumbarses, posting on this picture saying its bad to bottom out, no its not you bloody idiiots, its called using full travel, no point having a bike with 8inch travel and only using 6 because you think bottom out is bad. Rant over !!!!
It Just Looks Like He Let The Air Outer The Shock And The Forks And The Tires
commenting on wether or not it should be bottomed out our not is irrelevant without seeing the height of the drop he's taken
Well them forks arnt running on air and even if he let the air out of the piggyback on the rear shock it would do f*ck all difference, all that does is change the bottom out, its the spring that helps the compression IDIOTS!!!!
am i the only one who thinks its stupid how people say its supposed to bottom like if it was supposed to bottom why would there be like 180mm of travel and/or air assist to KEEP IT FROM BOTTOMING as the fork is compressed it gets stiffer for a reason
For those of you saying he let the air and oil out of the shock and fork *Retards* Look at his chain and rear derailer, obviously he just landed something to make the derailer swing out against its tension and slack the chain. I'm pretty surprised none of you have said the pic if photo shopped.
I agree with all people who said its kind fake, or he is just to heavy fot that bike. You don't really have to jump from roof to do that, You just need to play a bit with your fork and damper...
For f*cks sake, are you retarded?
A correctly set up downhill bike utilises all of it's travel if necessary. And, judging from that picture, it was necessary to use around 95% of the travel upon landing. Why else would people have big travel bikes if it wasn't to absorb shock?
Fucking idiots, please, think before you post ridiculous comments.

flat´s happens
-aik. thank you for finally setting it straight. suspension is meant to be used. people who don't know anything about biking and bring their useless comments here just to argue should stop visiting pinkbike.
it's good to cycle a suspension through it's travel once in a while, but it shouldn't be happening all the time
dang flat landing OUCH

MAMAMIA you got a flata Tire!
konas r better than norco to all those canadians that dissed kona with there comments
guys dontworry hes just compressing the suspension for the biggest bunnyhop he has ever done 
Clearly he landed on something because his tires are spinning
you can see the landing,his back wheels on it, his front must have cleared it though
great timing
great timing
it looks like he just landed flat...ur kinda supposed to have a landing to avoid that
that is not fake, he is myy friend, his name is samuel brunken, and the bike still work
