jonnyw374 (Jun 7, 2009 at 8:16)

he got straight back up and rode off, which was pretty surprising!

he managed to miss all the big sharp rocks...

na that aint bryn this is one of the X fusion riders, still thats gunna hurt in the morning

fr112358 (Jun 7, 2009 at 12:46)

Hang on though because Bryn got kicked off GT and it on the Intense bikes now. And that looks like a BOXXER...

jamminginger (Jun 7, 2009 at 13:59)

Yeah, i saw that crash, i was about 5 meters away and he just flew down the rocks. He then just jumped straight back up and rode off after fixing his handle bar a bit!

coralcorn (Jun 7, 2009 at 23:08)

this is Keiran Bennet. He wasnt able to racee because of this!

gibson-dh (Jun 9, 2009 at 14:36)

Thought he was a flat pedal rider?

JamesOliver (Jun 10, 2009 at 15:07)

Its not Bryn, he doesnt wear Royal race kit.

M-a-R-c-I (Jun 17, 2009 at 10:11)

fr112358...It's an XFusion fork Wink

JamesOliver (Jun 17, 2009 at 11:27)

No its not.

Junior-DH (Jun 17, 2009 at 12:25) (Below Threshold) show comment

Looks like a Manitou

jamminginger (Jun 17, 2009 at 12:30)

nah, dont manitou forks have the crown behind the sanctions

gibson-dh (Jun 17, 2009 at 12:31)

It's a boxxer! they just turned the stantion around so the "boxxer" logo is covered and they sprayed the lowers or took the stickers off because it's an X-fusion team, which are obviously not sponsored by Rockshox since they are a suspension brand that make shit forks!

M-a-R-c-I (Jun 18, 2009 at 1:11)

Man they have developed some goodloking forks..just like that in the pic. It's NOT a Boxxer Smile

Ah, so they do. My bad!

gpmoto (Jul 19, 2009 at 8:28)

M-a-R-c-I, Its a Boxxer w/o stickers. Believe me, I've seen this exact bike in person at races. If you wanna see X-fusion's idea of a DH fork, go here.

http://content.mtbr.com/TRP_13_253_2crx.aspx

That is why the team uses other brands forks for DH. They run X-fusion forks for slalom and mountaincross though. And this year I think they are even running X-fusion shocks instead of Fox DHX5's with the stickers pulled off like they have in the past.

M-a-R-c-I (Jul 19, 2009 at 10:51)

thanks man Smile
