 Haha I love it, especially the music. In my defence, the corner at 1.40 is the single most awkward corner in the history of downhill....

 haha Dyson and I were talking about that, that was such a good day. We'll have to go back soon. I think I'd enjoy the track more if I wasn't either wearing muddy goggles and therefore blind, or not wearing goggles and getting loads of mud in my eyes, also blinding me

 what happend to the orange tim? lol
  • + 3
 Actually Ant your dad said last week that he wanted it tested to destruction lol
  • + 1
 the orange? nothing?... And yeah Ant, he did say that, but so far I've not even managed to loosen any spokes, which is impressive as I once broke three in one go (Carlton stepdown on a Dr Jekyll)
  • + 1
 haha aye i know Razz

and I'm pretty impressed with that, i might actually let him build me a wheel now... lol
  • + 1
 ooh i just looked at the description and saw some thing about orange frame recipe for doom and thought some thing was up with it lol
  • + 1
 wicked man! preferred the 1st section to the 2nd, the zoom pulling was very earthed-esque, looked mint!
  • + 1
 yeh ive got that technique down to a t now, its cool. i like the 2nd section cos dyson's like a rocket
  • + 1
 nice looked like dyson was fair going
  • + 1
 he was on it!
  • + 1
 lol if thats a 222, it doesn't have 9inch's of travel
  • + 1
 i think its a 223
  • + 1
 you can see its a 223 if you pause it around 1.06
  • + 1
 tut tut, naughty lie there, the 223 have 8.75" eye to eye but only have 2.8/75 stroke length aha

nice video btw
  • + 1
 thanks. i try.
i didnt know how much travel a 223 has, it was eastofski's commentary anyway Razz i was merely stating it's modal.
  • + 1
 haha, i forgive you.
  • + 3
 a) Yeah, those are the correct statistics for the 223 with the stock 5th element. However, the shock shuttle moves, meaning you can reasonably get anything up to a 3' stroke shock into a 223 (i2i can obviously change with this). Bearing in mind that's not the stock 5th element, you have no idea how much travel that has.

b) The fact that it's obviously a 17' should tell you it's not a 222
  • + 1
 you can get 17" 222's (larges), have seen a few, in fact i was gona buy one, my proto is a 16" 1999 222 which i used to ride but turned over to a stock 222 . But yes a 223 can have 2.75 or 3.0 stroke, but the wheel path is ever so slightly different.
  • + 1
 yeeeeehhh lets have a 'i know more about orange's than you' argument.... well i bet you didnt know orange also make guitar amps eh? yeh.
  • + 1
 lol, in fact i do know that because my bro is into guitars ect,but its a different company than orange bikes
  • + 1
 Meh, they never made a fully production 17' 222, so if you see a large it's pretty safe to assume its a 223
  • + 0
 nope, definatly seen a 17" 222, i were going buy it. It was a 222 because of the obvious reasons and it was huuge

 picture or it didn't happen Smile

 Song choice = EPIC! Big Grin
