your all wrong , this is Yamaha's new proto type mtb in answer to honda , wow just look at all that travel , must be 26" of plushness , those crazy japs !
I've been there, it happens so fast you don't realize it untill it's all over. My knuckles hit the ground still on the bar and got scraped to the bone (ashfalt, not mulch like this guy), the front tire cut my right cheek outside and in, my knee met the same fate as my knuckles and Norco gave me a free brand new 416 frame.
shiiiiit !!! Nice shot!! My frame snapped at the same place but I went hard in a ditch:P My front wheel made scratches in the down tube. johaines.pinkbike.com/album/parts-and-gear
that sucks a big one, lucky he's got fullface. the play by paly for this run would be: Oh and he's going through the rythems, and BAM his frame snaps and he's on the ground, he's getting owned folks.
i believe thats the new rst prototype, the hinging steerer tube. pretty sure they cancelled all further research and attempts after they tried it on drops, they arent aloud to post thos online cause its in the evidence locker at the police station with the cause of death
how unstoked is he right now just think aww f*ck well what a waste of a perfectily good bike..now i have to walk back to my truck and get my other brand new ride out and have to get it dirty
For the bike it was enough from the rider. The fotographer was on the right time on the right place, so everybody saw the frame last ride. Nice pic,bad story..
Kona does actually make some decent bikes, but it seems like their frames just don't have quite the integrity that most other quality company's do. I have ridden several Konas and yeah their alright but I always feel like there's something missing..... just my opinion.
acutally you woulnt be racing a kona in the first place... also, the kona woulda broke be4 u even launched the jump and it'd only be the guy on the landin ramp. and finally.. kona sucks they make shitty ugly bikes and i havnt seen a new frame from kona ever, they just repaint the old model and release it again BOO SCREW KONA
dude i remeber back in the day konas were the shit
then everyone started going slopestyle
and turning our sport into bmx
i still think konas are sick even if they make a few crappy bikes also
