I like norco.. but i love the kona stinky.. its in my opinion there trophy piece, years have gone into the bike, and its to date a popular bike, for a reason.

If you are riding your bike hard, then go for the shore. Its a beefier frame and will have no problems

For 2008 i would go with the stinky as the shore has a weird geometry, Costs more and further more has lower end components ( shore 3 vs. stinky)
stinky (2300)

There are more kona's sold a year to beginners who will brake frames which gives them a bad rep. They are a reliable bike, Look at the shonky stab howler and bass. I have seen plenty of snapped norcos as well quit possibly more broken norcos then konas.

WHAAATTTT!!??!?! are you kidding me?!
when you say shitty forks i'm guessing drop-off's right, now 40 feet on those man you're nuts.

Haha yeah man there drop offs. i still go hard on the bike,.... going 65 feet to flat when im 20 feet in the air.
GET A KONA Smile nothingever goes wrong
