 this sucks buddy, i know the feeling!

not sure if it means you where riding it properly, or it conforms to the session 88 stereotype. Let us know if you need a hand finding a replacement, theres a few cool frames about. theses a canfield jedi with no shock on ebay that your bits should swap onto nice Wink

 ummm, just registered it...lol. Never bothered before, i didn't really think i would ever snap a DH bike, I didn't think I could go big enough, but it wasn't even that big, that's whats pissing me off!

 Yeah but at least I'm back riding, I hope that the old swing arm was cracked or something, so I can go as big as I want without worrying.

 Hope it doesnt hiurt your confidence on it, i mean gwin seems to be doing fine!!

 Yeah, just trying not to flat land everything, but my confidense is growing with jumping, and I can't really help it, jumps seem to be getting smaller and smaller. That is a good thing for when I go chipshop, as I need to hit the ladder drop.

 Bike shed are good lads and told me most damage frame wise should be warrented ... Since its snapped on the welds its a blatant manafacturers (thats spelt wrong) fault ! Without a dought

 yeah, got a mate who knows a mate who works for trek and is gunna try and get it sorted under warrenty

 Ouch... Bike Shed said they'd had 3 snapped rear triangles on sessions recently! I think you should be able to get a warranty replacement??? Or use a bit of super steel and glue the f*cker back on...?

 looked at the warranty, said i need to go to a trek dealer, ie bike shed and get it certified to get it under warranty, might go up tomorrow, at least i can still push it
