nice to see they cave aimed at making the frame consumer friendly with the shock protector thing, i know that on my bike the rear eye of the shock gets covered! and starts creaking :/

Totally like the shock mount and cover set up they have going there - it's about time somebody did something about that.

make a little mudguard out of an old plastic bottle or something and put it back end. Works for me!

does this mean we can now expect shops to clear out their Scalp inventory for 50% off?
oh please oh please . . .

Crazy idea but....for a video about a new frame design why not use the camera to show decent angles and shots of the bike being talked about instead of 90% of the footage being some mechanic talking. The few shots of the bike were so short and shakey and blurry you could barely make anything out.

"Upgrade to our new bike - It feels exactly the same as our old one"

No she looks good. Weight was definitely something I noticed when working on the scalps so this is a positive step!

Wow, sooo many people on-track just sitting and watching lines.

Nygaard (Jul 28, 2012 at 11:36) (Below Threshold)

And they need to f*ck off.

Nothing bothers me more than people (especially other riders, they should know better!) standing on the track or very close to it.
It is annoying as hell, gets me out of "the zone" because I have to be aware of them and puts both me AND them in danger.

Sometimes I almost want to crash into them on purpose. Maybe taking a Transition to the knee will help them using their brains next time they go near a downhill track.

five-10 (Jul 28, 2012 at 11:55)

lol there were only like five corners with people on them kinda near the racing line, you cant expect them to all clear off if they want to look at lines. plus thats just what practicing for a race is always gonna be like, wherever ive been anyway, the tracks open to all riders i guess

2 11

Nygaard (Jul 28, 2012 at 13:39) (Below Threshold)

And that is five too much. Not riding = stay on the other side of the tape, for you own and other riders safety.

andyschotke (Jul 28, 2012 at 16:43)

then dont go racing if you are going to bitch and moan about everything

Nygaard (Jul 28, 2012 at 17:07) (Below Threshold)

Or, how about you pussies taking breaks every 500m. stay at home instead and leave the tracks to us who come to RIDE?

NightFalcon (Jul 28, 2012 at 17:41)

@Nygaard Surely you're faster and more skilled than world cup riders checking lines.. oh wait, why aren't you racing there then?

Nygaard (Jul 28, 2012 at 18:24) (Below Threshold)

1. You are putting words in my mouth. The intellectually challenged persons best hand in discussions.
2. Physics suggest that your poorly executed attempt at sarcasm is actually true. Regardless of speed I would be faster than any world cup rider if he/she is stationary.

loaded (Jul 28, 2012 at 22:17)

Nygaard has a point, go try and do this at a motocross race even during practice and see what happens

ldhbaker FL (Jul 29, 2012 at 0:32)

Fair enough point, Nygaard, but not very professional to use language like "pussies" etc... I would hope with an opinion this strong you wouldn't express it using such unprofessional language, particularly for someone with self-professed skill roughly equivalent to that of the WC racers. I firmly agree with you, but disagree with the way that you make your point. Maybe talk to the race organizers next time?

2 2

Nygaard (Jul 29, 2012 at 1:56)

@loaded - Exactly. On a MX track, even at a practise day where people are just there to ride and have a good time, you don't see this happening. And IF it did it would be about two seconds before someone "asking you kindly" to get off the track and go to the pit or start area instead.

@ldhbaker - That was unprofessional but I am frustrated by the attitude and flawed logic of people like andyschotke. I go to bike parks to ride (and have to drive 5-7 hours for decent downhill parks), but should stay at home because other people like to go there to stand still? That doesn't make any sense.

jhmm (Jul 29, 2012 at 7:38)

you're absolutely right! maybe a transition to the knees isn't such a bad idea! and yes it's deeply annoying and inconsiderate of people to stand inside the track! sorry, it's just dumb!! I to have to travel 7/8 hours to go ride a decent park and I was instantly bugged by the amount of people just hanging there in the video because i imagined traveling such distances and then being f*cked (crashing for example) because of stupid bystanders!! it's so f*cking idiotic, i mean, it's clearly dangerous! and anyone who doesn't agree probably doesn't use the whole track in order to mantain speed in corners and go faster!! well, as it turns out i like doing that! and screw anyone who stands in my way! stupid, selfish, inconsiderate pricks... as for the bike, it looks sweeeet and it also looks transition hehe

Looks sick! But I can't see how I could justify spending a load more when it comes out, when I can just get a scalp - it doesn't seem much better.

jtb5150 (Jul 28, 2012 at 11:59)

Spent half the video talking about the adjustable wheelbase like it is something new. My V3 can be adjusted to 3 different sizes. What makes or breaks a bike for me is not just the design but the quality and look of the welds. Seams going right down the center is just unsat. My 2 cents anyways. Also, funny how the comments just refer to being happy that last years model will be cheaper now.

Pinky1990 (Jul 28, 2012 at 12:31)

Perfectly put. I dont know why they are trying to make adjustable wheelbase sound new it's been around for ages I can make my 09 bass longer or shorter if I wanted

I don't think they chose white forks for cosmetic reason, they'll be Marzo factory jobbies!
