Sessions tubing is hydroformed,and if the hydroforming is done badly then it is weaker than a regular tubed frame.

He's confusing himself though by assuming that because it is hydroformed then it is naturally stronger,i'm pointing out that if done badly hydroforming is actually weaker.

yes but sessions snap... operators dont. i know a guy who had a brand new session last year and snapped it in its first week. i was just saying that kona seem to have upped there game so im going to give them my benifit of the doubt. and i think there 2011 bikes should be good. and yes i know ant but he dosent any more and still says there mint. so do other ppl who own them who i have spoke to.
