Whatever. It worked fine for me. BBC Iplayer won't let me play their shit, even if I buy a TV License. So many things are only Available to Americans. Hulu which is a sick TV streamer only works in the US, for example. I guarantee PB paid to have it free. Well I bet they got sponsors to pay for it, due to the high viewership. It is IP driven, so it depends on where your IP is from. Some ISP's such as Primus are are often routed through American servers, giving you the problem of occasionally having a whack ISP. It was kick ass coverage. Lots of camera's, good operators. Someone has to pay for that shit. Would you rather pay X dollars or have to watch commercials? I would easily pay for it, especially between a few friends. It is only like $20. Not the $150 that UFC charges. As many of you broke ass MTB'ers know, Camera's are not free, let alone Servers/Operators/Commentators/AVID Suite Truck is not Free. Buck up the few dollars, hook it up to your TV, watch on your couch. Or move to Canada.

Look at the photos. It isn't on the rear triangle. It isn't a URT setup. What are you dump?

"1mm scratch" has got to be the funniest thing I have read in a while. Do you think that this frame is made from a single layer of carbon? A single weave? No clear coat? You need to be around more carbon. We have a customer who we nicknamed 'crusher' he breaks everything. So far the only frame he hasn't broken is his Carbon Stumpjumper. I have rode with him, and he shreds hard. Jumps that thing, rips through rocks, 4ft drops. He hauls ass. Bike has some chips and nicks here and there. But there carbon is fairly thick. If SC was smart they would release a Cutaway of the frame. We have a Stumpjumper S-works cutaway frame we use to show people how strong, thick it is. To all of those who keep saying this is too expensive. Good. Glad to hear it, that means that those who can afford it, will build it properly. This isn't a bike for the masses, it is meant for the niche that wants it. I foresee a S-Works Demo in the future to compete with this, especially with Hill on the team. Just like the new Dorado, very expensive but for those that can afford it, they are loving every minute of it. I also want to address the other changes. Such as, a 9.5 x 3.0 shock. Getting the Leverage ratio down a bit. Also a new bearing system, something that will also aid in the V-10's war against bearing longevity. 1.5 HT is also nice, gives someone the chance to run tapered, or whatever. Maybe run it at 8.5 with a SC? One last point. Enough of saying Santa Cruz is pushing the envelope. The GT has been around much longer than this, and has many more riders on it. Also it is available to the public, with people riding them. Even though those are truly hideous frames. This thing just looks stripped down, and clean. I also liked the hump they used to have, just like the Nomad, the Driver 8, and the old Jackal. A Signature of sorts. But who knows, also keep in mind this may not be the final design.
