Must Watch: Reece Wallace Goes HUGE for Rampage
awesome video! mad skills!
but why no back protector?
besides being an inspiration for anyone who wants to achieve what you have, or who had an injury and is in recovery, you should also teach everyone specially kids, that being a pro rider is not only about skills, but also about respect for your body and for the stunts you are hitting...

Review: Orbea Rallon M-LTD
Rubbish! I find this review disappointing, I don´t know if its the way its written, but damn it does sound like the bike just sucks. And yes I am 1.86m / 85kg proud owner of a L sized rallon.
I think you should have opted for an air sprung at the back, an XL frame and a cheaper set.
Got my rallon for 4 months now, already went trough a full whellset and 3 tyres.
Always been riding on raw downhill and enduro trails, but not once on a bikepark, and I can say confidently that I put the bike trough a lot of miserable pain!
-I actually only found once my front wheel losing traction and it was absolutely my mistake, the traction is unremarkable on both wheels on every condition! The bike is an absolute beast on descends!
-I never climb up so easily up the trails, even comparing to my cheap 27.5 hardtail, and I ride with DH casing up front + DD on the back + inserts + Ex511 rims, so I got some weight on it, this is because the pedal position is really comfortable thx to the seat angle, and pedal assist on DPX2 works 5 starts. I do 1200m climb in 3-4hours ride no problems.
-The back could be more progressive? yes... But just put a token on the shock and adjust your air pressure, and clicks dude! The whole point of buying top of the line material is to have the ability to search and find the sweet spot perfomance for your riding style and trails you ride. This review sounds like the bike should come fit 4 u out the box...
You want cons? yes there are: for example a small part of the paint finish on the seat sucks and the mate finish on the frame has a very thin layer.
