After a promising qualifying - 1st overall - Martin cased the final landing, breaking his chain and bending his fork. Unable to continue he's looking forward to his next comps aboard his new Specialized P.3.Specialized's newest factory team rider, Martin Söderström, started out the year in snowy Leogang, Austria, at the Whitestyle comp.

 lol at nunobarros. Argyle lowers are pike lowers. And yes they are strong. Anyway lowers tend to break from twists not cases. Steerer tubes on pikes/ argyles are weak. I bent two, and one time was hardly a bad bail. Yes all forks break but not as easily. Anyway, martin is a sick rider who will shred on any bike.

 Sucks, I think If he had enough speed on a last jump, he would rock that comp. His run was absolutly PERFECT

 I like the low bb, think it feels more stable and I should think he agrees when he's riding stuff like that (HUGE). Have to say a higher bb would be beneficial for park though.

 all right fair enough. I only use mine for freeride and dirt jump. Took it to a park for like the 2nd time a few weeks ago... indoors, and ghetto. with no windows. and sub zero temps Fahrenheit. I was just saying that cuz its only 1/4 inch lower than black market bb's and those are pretty street im assuming?
  • 1 0
 Black markets are pretty low too. In my eyes its kinda american thing...

 haha,he is so chill,wait for the next competition..

 i find it hard to beleive that he couldnt get hold of any spare forks.... i bet somebody had some....

 The bent steerer probably broke the headset too. Just a thought, the frame may have cracked and not been mentioned.
