dont ride it if its like that, youll end up breaking it when your doin somethin big and will end up mostly likely very bad.

Bummer!!
Enough botched 360s and this is what happens...
Good thing is it's a super clean crack right on the weld near the seatstay/TT junction. This is something that's almost always covered under warranty.

Good luck! Lemme know how it turns out.
I was just about to buy an NS frame...

flag SavageMountainAnimal (Jun 26, 2009 at 1:03)
Just about 2 inches of post inside the frame.

flag teamn2 (Jun 26, 2009 at 1:16)
that can help cause the cracking too i was talking to this bmxer guy at the skate aprk ans he was saying he has cracked 3 frames from running too short of a seat post so i would rather just leave it at like 4 inches the drill it out if your a wieght weenie Smile
