 Nah all good.. That jump is 9-10 meters and the fuel ex is a 120mm cross country.. Haha. I think it bottomed out or chain and derailer slap. There's another jump up higher the same length then a fast s-bend leading into that jump.. It's cool fun.. If you really pump it the tranny is long enough to get maybe 13 meters.. I landed at the top of the tranny so a little harsh.. There's a big step down just over from it where i had a nice head on clash with a tree.. Haha..

 checked my bike and found two hairline cracks on either side of the bottom bracket on the chain stays, so its off to Gripsports for repairs, hate not having a bike and I've just sold my other two bikes, Bummer. actually this will give my broken knuckle time to heal, very difficult riding trails with only one hand gripping the bars, Ride On!

 Not sure if your bike is still under warranty but my mate had a crack in his chain stay and where the rear shock pin goes through on his Slash.. Trek supplied him with a used one while they painted him up a new one in the factory to match his bike. He got to keep the used one too.. (which was basically new anyway).. Just a thought anyway...

 Thanks, my frame was 3 months out of warranty and Intense wouldn't come to the party, the frame is only 2 years old, so much for Hand Made Californian Quality. Still i love the bike and the brand and Gripsports.com guarantee the work they do and say that the area fixed will be stronger than before, So might sell it when it comes back and buy an Intense M9 Fro, never know.

 Excellent, great when you come across a bike like that, seriously thought the bike snapped when you landed it, that bike will end up going on the pension.

 I barely even heard it under my helmet.. The fuel ex is a pretty good bike.. reasonably light and nimble.. As much as I shouldn't (knee injury), I'm going for a light cross country ride tomorrow with a mate. Tape it up and resist the urge to jump.. haha.. I can't stand looking at my bikes and not riding them.. I always give my bikes a good check over for cracks etc when I wash them after each ride. When you flick the ht of the fuel ex it sounds like alfoil..haha

 haha... Yeah it used to be.. That was my only bike for awhile there.. Now its just an xc/commuter haha.. I ride my Status most the time now.

I tell ya what though, I put that bike through its paces and it never failed on me. Grant Allen (Australia's redbull rider a couple of years back) in the bike shop can't believe I never broke it..I'm sure he was waiting for the day I came in with pieces of a bike..
