lol i know they look really alike but if you reserch it the height of the bb and basic geomitry if quite dif, although i bet they both ride great!

they both look great...i love this "old-style" frames...sometimes i get tired looking at all this new hydroforming stuff...so the blindside and this are great eye-fresheners!

looks more like a bottlerocket to me, blindside looks much slacker.

Well, it's pretty much between bottlerocket and blindside (geometry, travel).
And it's first fullsus. bike from NS, so I don't really think that choosing a simple, reliable (maybe not innovative) design was a bad move.
And soda has some cool features like adjustable CS and internal cable routing.

@mdowney I'm guessing your the same person who comments saying everyone is ripping off trek? If your bash something at least know your stuff to back up your statement because if you did know your stuff you would know that the geometry of the frame and the BB height and nearly everything else is different.

milesks (Mar 1, 2012 at 11:43)

I'm a freerider. Cheers

Love the comment above from the man himself. Props. Tricks are for kids. I bet at least 90% of the riding community is perfectly happy doing tables and whips only. I enjoy watching whips and tables more than tricks in video's because its a move I can actually relate to. I know what it feels like to pull off a sick whip, but I will never know how it feels to do a 360, tailwhip, or a backflip. To me, it's cool to watch, but they're basically circus tricks. I don't ride BMX, but it's pretty clear that those bikes are much better for tricks than mountain bikes, and I think we should leave that part of this sport to that crowd.

Some of you people are either haters or jeleus... Jaws was always a freerider and for many people that freeride thing is what they all like the most about biking. Who cares that he didnt showed any sick trick this movie and this post are not about tricks.. its about him getting a new ride... And for NS belive me they always do good rider pickups just to mension few

^ milesks has been on the site for less than a year... he's a silly n00b that really doesn't know anything.

I'm stoked on this news! Been watching Jaws send it since I've signed up on this site. Awesome to hear that he'll be riding in all the big comps this coming season.

it does look just like a blindside.....

paulclarke (Mar 1, 2012 at 9:34)

Thats cause the design works, it also looks like dozens of other bikes in the past 5 years alone. And the blindside wasent the first to use that geo obviously.

what the f@#$%^ is NS?
that bike is a bottlerocket if i ever saw one.
Transition changed the bottlerocket design for 2012 but if NS still makes one the same this year and if it rides like a bottlerocket, then good on them cause that bike works sooooo goooood ( I had one).

For some reason Jaws is like Ellsworth here on pinkbike. Gets either love or hate from people. I'm happy for anyone that can land a full-time gig riding a bike. I don't know if his bag of tricks is big enough for slopestyle/freeride comps, but maybe that's not going to be his focus. If it is, he better spend a lot of time riding with Pilgrim...

tetonlarry (Mar 3, 2012 at 10:29)

Yeah, it looks like a blindside, but what a smart bike to copy. I can't seem to find any geometry info anywhere, but I'm sure it's slightly different than a blindside, and rides differently.

If a Blindside had better graphics internal routing and adjustability it would look like a Soda!

crashtestdumbie (Mar 1, 2012 at 6:47)

the new blindsides do have adjustability... it is pretty much a blindside

edthomsett (Mar 1, 2012 at 9:26)

I'm sorry but how on earth is this guy on the NS bikes team along with Sam Pilgrim etc.
All I've ever seen him do is a weak tabletop and a suicide. Crazy when you watch all the amateur videos on this site and theres a hundred guys all pulling clicked shoulder buzzers and tailwhips and with no sponsorship and NS decide on this guy?

amacdonald (Mar 1, 2012 at 20:55)
