it looks better from a different angle:

ok, maybe it doesn't.

Nope, it does not look better in person. Everytime I have walked past the booth I try to avert my eyes. It is fugly.

I have never broken a chain. Ever. And I've hacked my way through some choppy shit that would make anyone wince.

Do you have legs like this guy?

Or this guy?

It looks like two people designed it in isolation. Or if an early 90's homer did it.

possible 2012 product. dual crown 55 which could be awesome for a mini-DH build.

I think that's just a 888 with brake dive built in

All you need for riding is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.

sort of, except both the front and rear ends look like total crap. i understand that this is a proto, but holy crap. talk about failing before you start.

I don't understand why it has a Fox shock instead of the Curnutt.

This trip to Kelowna was definately an undertaking - Liam and I had been planning this project for 24 hours. We worked really hard to pull out all the stops in this video. We had slo-mo goggle shots; time lapses; pedal flips; outrageous product shots; unloading and loading the bike; walking through the field with your hand in wheat. At the end of the day this trip was all about just getting out and riding with all my friends.

since most of the links are coming from CHILLiwack, how about some hayes prime action from pinkbike? they've got a stupid article on sam hill's saddle, but y'all have to look for that one.

I broke one for the first time the other day. 3 week old SRAM chain, 3rd ride on it, climbing fire road. 1 weird noise from derailleur area, then snap.
