Anyone else noticed he's running coil sprung Boxxer?

Corrected translation: Some news about rampage and my participation in it. During last year I had less and less motivation to ride, but I thought that it will all change in Utah. However, it didn't. Yesterday we had training day, I went to last year's big Drop (previous big Oakley sender - my remark) which was not bigger than the ones I've jumped on a hardtail in the past - and I realized that I do not want to force myself to jump. And that meant only one thing: I can no longer ride. If you can't or don't want to force yourself to jump, you are no longer a mountainbiker. I didn't ride qualifiers and I'll never sit on my bike again. No one has jumped this drop during qualifying, but in the evening Gulevich tried to jump it, cased it two times and went down hard, so my dreads weren true. However, it does not change the facts. Perhaps all this stuff will upset someone, but believe me - I am the one who is upset the most. Please don't write to me and don't ask me anything about it. For a couple of days I will need this page to have a connetion with my home, but I will delete it shortly after, so you can remove me from friends list already. I guess, that's it.

Personally I still think it's a joke. Awful joke. Benderoni is too tough to quit like that.

Here you go. It's in russian, so copy first post and use google translate. http://vk.com/benderoni

Maybe, man, maybe. Rampage can make you feel miserable. I'm just telling you what I've seen this morning on his social network profile's dashboard.

I'm very confused right now too. Basically, I only waited for rampage because of Kirill (and Zink :) , but mainly Kirill). Let's hope it's a joke, cause it's not funny at all.

Kirill Benderoni did not participate in qualifiers. He announced about quitting from riding in his social network profile. He said that he has no motivation for riding anymore. I still hope it's a bad joke. If not, well that sucks... :-(
