andrew-cho (Apr 8, 2009 at 18:31)

well doesnt it consider to be a drop to flat? cuz cases would be the front tire on the down ramp/etc. and the rear wheel not? am i wrong?

+ 3

katoomer (Apr 8, 2009 at 18:33)

a case is when you dont make the jump and hit the front of the down ramp instead of landing on the down ramp

andrew-cho (Apr 8, 2009 at 20:53)

yea i think thats what i meant..i think..

demonbiker48 (Apr 8, 2009 at 20:54)

well i guess there is different opinions... i thought it was when ur front tire hits the down side and your back tire doesnt make it... atleast in the world of moto its like that cuz u hit ur "case"
so i wouldnt consider this a case as much as coming up short

katoomer (Apr 9, 2009 at 12:01)

if someone hits thier "case" then they are riding a 1970's bike

demonbiker48 (Apr 9, 2009 at 19:45)

ya true... well now i guess you either hit ur skid plate or frame but same dif it doesnt matter

I don't get why everyone is saying "Ouch" or "bike looks brutalised". Bikes are SUPPOSED to bottom out and they bottom out a lot more than you think during a run.
