holy crap….

Couple cans of Lucky and a backhoe and you can do pretty much anything. Mainlanders :rolleyes:

That kid name is Juan Arro, and young up and comer from the freeride mecca Chile.
They tested the new bike out there to keep it quiet but Oviously it didnt work. He is probably getting in trouble for the leak right now.
The swing arm is CNC'd from a solid block of aluminum.

Or Brodie at least. I've seen those things broken almost everywhere around the lower mainland.

My Kona's held up alright. Broke a few but they arent shitty bikes by any means. I think some of them must be a "b" spec kinda thing.

I would probably upgrade the shock. That one looks kindo of sub par for the XTREM Riding that i want to do on it.

Thay're the first company to design an ultra- high end mountain bike that looks like a cheap wal-mart bike. It's designed for theft resistance as well as great performance and durability.
