I know 3 people personally who have done the same. This is why I stick with marzo.

towers08 (Oct 30, 2009 at 8:56)

yea, he did crash hard though!

the lowers snapped.
he twisted the crown.
and bent the steerer.

Ouch. Although to be fair I've ditched my bike 30ft down a rock garden, 5ft drop, into a tree and nothing broke... Then again, I ride a goddamn Banshee.

REGARDLESS, broken parts suck and I hope your friend is ok.

towers08 (Oct 30, 2009 at 9:18)

yea he was alright and took it well too.

Unhallowed (Oct 30, 2009 at 9:26)

cheers unhallowed, am fine.. bit sore n pissed off that the deemax and the boxxers are wrote off, but i should be back up and running tommor

It might be worth talking to RS and seeing if they can hook you up on with a deal on a new fork... chances are they won't but with damage like that it's worth a shot of claiming a "product malfunction" caused the crash. Razz

How'd you manage that then?!

towers08 (Oct 30, 2009 at 3:15)

not me

my mate.

he came round a right burm fast and at the end of the burm is a small rock which you ride off and he went of the rock still leaning over with the wheel turned and just next to that is a tree and the wheel caught on the tree and twisted the fork so much which snapped and twisted the fork and he buckled the deemax! :O entertaining to watch though Razz
