 I think it's his saddle hitting his rear tire.

 I was about to comment about the same thing. I hope its the saddle cause that thing sounded like a real pile of crap in every clip.

 altough its a good test for the new frame, if the two new demos survive Rampage this year, nothing bad can happen to the customer frames.. Big Grin

 tricycle for dirtjumps?
But seriously clips at rampage, that takes an extra set of balls, after the extra set it takes just to compete in rampage already.

 Don't blame the bike for it bottoming out its the design of the trail .Mitch saying it needs a few tweaks is a understatement there's so many g out spots for the speed it's not even funny,looks like major tweets to save this line.

 What do you think Gee was riding the past years?

 mitch does know that there isnt a score for bottom outs per run, right?

jokes aside, could someone please fix the suspension on mitchs bike. i dont know what he is thinking using the softest suspension setup ever at rampage. in the one scene he is leaning over the fork in order to clip out, and he is compressing the fork up to 2/3. he surely isnt racing WC with such soft suspension. same with the rear shox.

 I doubt the guys at ohlins and specialized would have him out there on the wrong springs. I see from the video his fork does seem to have the new ohlins damper in it maybe its has some tricks up its sleeves. either way i'm sure Mitch knows how to setup a bike haha

 just for clarification - i am a fan of mitch and didnt mean to talk him down or anything. nevertheless, his suspension isnt at rampage level yet. probs for him for hitting the jumps anyway. certainly, ohlins will fix it. when i said "someone fix the susp." i wasnt implying mitch wouldnt know how to do it, but instead some rock shox technician should give him a harder spring...

 exactly what i was thinking. either his seat is too far back or too low, or his suspension needs to be tuned a bit. at very least his compression is too soft, he shouldnt be compressing enough to rack himself on a low point like that, he is also not being set back to flat before the next entry making me think his rebound it just a tad slow, this is only testing day so of course they are going to make changes, i just would have thought they would have had a set base by now that wouldnt have these results. whatever the case, his line choice is gonna be sweet once he figures it out, thats a quick transition and a very soft initial landing, everything about it is fighting him to work hard at staying level and upright to clear the second gap.
