nz rippin....have a cry mate.
it is not a dirt jump.
it is a booter on a downhill track.
the carpet stops the dry dirt spraying everywhere and slowing you down.
i'm not going to snap my frame on the jump.
if frames have snapped, its cause the rider has come up short or screwed up some other way.
please chill.
How come no POD given,this is a sublime photograph in everyway,detail,colour,not to mention the style the rider is showing,this is POD material all day long. Gringo,
I also say this because these look like more dirt jumps then downhill jumps and i know people who have snapped there dh bikes on dirt jump style jumps as ther aren't made for dirt jumping but its still a sick photo
www.pinkbike.com/photo/4483483 ummm ok then??? well anyway i also know afew people who have broken there downhill bikes to jumps like dirt jumps my m8 has snaped 2 big hit's at the headtube
ok mate, i guess your right, that means the only bike ure friend can bike is a karpiel apocalypse or a bike that has a headtube supppperrr reinforced . That dousnt tell me nothing, it could be due to something like a design flaw. My mate snapped his cowan ds by doing a manual, does that mean if he came of a curb it would of snapped into 1000 peices?
