damn. road rash sucks! especially once it hardens up Confused

going up to northstar for a week and hitting up some secret trails and possibly some freeriding the days the park is closed? bringing up 2 gopros and possibly my cam so i mite get an edit thrown together if not at least some POV shots.

what do you guys think of all these new carbon DH bikes?
Not every rider is looking to eke out laps on a tired steed MS-Evil Rider Brook MacDonald will be running laps aboard the third version of the all carbon Evil Undead. Testing testing testing... Forgotten by many is how racing is the sharp end of the prototyping stick. If this carbon lay-up gets the nod from the racers look to see the Undead available to privateers in the near future.

The carbon V-10 has life time warranty (I would assume the others do to since carbon is fragile?) so why not for a race bike.

carbon is actually stronger i believe. as a freeride bike i would ride one unless i was factory because in a way freeriding can be more demanding on a bike than DH racing. but im thinkin about getting the carbon demo or the undead as my next bike.

Its not the initial strength Im worried about,more after a crash and you slam that frame in some sharp rocks.
I wouldn't go for the undead as my friend who is suuuper slow and super shitty snapped the linkage on his revolt that resulted in the frame being 100% useless.

Supposedly undead is way stronger. I think there's an article about it somewhere.

He snapped the linkage arm,not the frame its self.
