mkirk05 (Jun 19, 2009 at 19:37)

yea hes not the most talented rider out there, and i hate this bike more then anything, but if it werent for bender, mountain biking wouldnt be where it is today, without him being stupid and trying massive drops, no one would have had the idea any of it was possible...like lacondeguy doing a superflip, its called pioneering things...just new age.

Love the beast of a bike, whats the waight of it? and what do you have for a rear shock? Its a f*cking tank your only missing the 50cc moter LMFAO

densham83 (Sep 11, 2008 at 18:26)

He's got 2 rear shocks if you look closly. There looks to be another mounted just above the downtube.

Hezzy08 (Nov 23, 2008 at 12:44)

yeh, on other pics if you look closely there is a pivot that links the shocks together, i think the air shock stops the main shock from topping out too hard and flinging the rider over the bars.
