his eyes look like he's thinking "argh another day at the office..."

i dont think anyone in this sport would ever think like that, i would ride the fuck out of my bike if it was my job

lightsout (Jun 8, 2010 at 13:48)

pretty sure every person would. one of the best jobs in the world

dustingilding (Jun 16, 2010 at 22:50)

maybe it was after his crash & he,s off his nut on painkillers !!!!

Well yeh that too, but was just pointing out that with a lot of DH frames you cant have the seat slammed because of contanct issues. Anyways real nice photos bud

Tom-D (Jun 8, 2010 at 10:18)

Well no you could cut your post short and have it low, but its more the fact that the rear wheel would smash into the saddle.

Its more the fact that you get full leg extension while sitting down, therefore more power is delievered on the pedally sections like the Motorway at Fort William.

looks like he just put down some of those steve peat beers lol

Below threshold threads are hidden

I wish he would slam that seat.

iggzdaloc (Jun 8, 2010 at 1:25)

you're retarded

D-ponko (Jun 8, 2010 at 1:31)

that wouldn't physically work dude.

freeriderayward (Jun 8, 2010 at 5:14)

and why not?

kieran95 (Jun 8, 2010 at 9:37)

Because his bike has an interrupted seat tube - to slam it down he would have to cut his post really short which just wouldn't work

peter16 (Jun 8, 2010 at 10:46)

and it would get raped by the tyre u jew

D-ponko (Jun 8, 2010 at 13:09)

no disrespect, im just saying, that look at his ass to tire ratio. he would be riding it like a DJ hardtail. that and he is a racer. he needs to have his seat higher than a freerider for those sit-down moments.

freeriderayward (Jun 9, 2010 at 0:19) (Below Threshold)

Sit down moments, when do you have those in a 3 minute race? Of course you would leave enough tire clearance for the seat...

I think he would pump better with a lower seat... Most racers would.

iggzdaloc (Jun 9, 2010 at 0:26)

You're a fucking moron

freeriderayward (Jun 9, 2010 at 1:48)

and? your a dopey twit. What about it

iggzdaloc (Jun 9, 2010 at 1:51)

Not only are your thoughts moronic but I've also come to realize you've never ridden any downhill before

D-ponko (Jun 9, 2010 at 17:12)

he may be a dick at times, but he actually does know what he's talking about. even if he can be more diplomatic, he does know his shit.

MDHdirtjump (Jun 9, 2010 at 17:17)

freeriderayward! how can you think that his seat can be slammed? are you blind!

MDHdirtjump (Jun 9, 2010 at 17:18)

and it doesn't matter for tire clearance, where do you think his seatpost can be lowered too? dont not say around the shock

freeriderayward (Jun 10, 2010 at 0:58)

Cut it. Fools, when I race DH I drop it so maybe 70mm is sticking out, and still it gets in the way when I pump stuff. Thats my experience, and I think it would get in other people's way just as much if its higher. Give it a try...

D-ponko (Jun 10, 2010 at 1:17)

we got a negative propper...

MDHdirtjump (Jun 10, 2010 at 7:09)

i know idk why they would negative prop us for explaining why he is wrong
