Peter Vail there kicks my butt everytime. He's damn good. I'm just there to have fun and test suspension. Well, that and beat the "BK Broiler". Haha!

MRD Noble Air system upgrade testing. I am no 4x racer for the record. I suck at it. I seem to require gravity to go competitively fast. Oh well.

Make sure you get Zac @ Manitou Canada to tune it. Travis with pro tune is wicked.

I could probably use them here at Manitou Canada. If not for customers, maybe add them to my 'Legacy Wall'. If anyone knows about any other old Manitou items floating around, I am looking for: Xvert Carbon, Manitou 3. Thanks!

That is a Manitou Swinger 6way with Shimstack inside. Dope shock with no-tools bottom out adjust. I hear this posting is sketchy though.

PWNED

Travis 150 TPC+ is BALLER, someone should trade a garbage Argyle for this QUICK and make off like a bandit.

He seems to be in the midst of enjoying a fine bicycle ride, doesn't he... nice one, never quit riding...

Yeah that Helmet is Ultra Rad. Gotta be fast to rock the Flash...

WHIPPAGE

HAHA That's a fun ass picture. Blow it up for your Momma so she can bust it in other Momma's FACES. Good one dude.

Can't talk $#!t about that. Gangsta's got a sack, but I'll drift 'em at Whistler. Haha. Good one dude.

Ah yes, but it still allows the dropout to move within a particular path compared to if the pivot was on the seatstay. Obviously you've never seen a GT RTS from back in the day. This is basically an RTS with a different pivot placement in that location. Isolating the rear axle from the main movement of the main swingarm is key. Not a Horst Link, but the concept has been applied to get a desired effect. This bike is weak and unnecessary. Foes single pivot makes more sense, DHR too. Why all the monkey motion when it isn't even true FSR? Marketing. It's an RTS, face it. Nico did win a few titles on those, but come on it was like 15 years ago. I know it will fall apart because I have rebuilt RTS main pivot arrays so many times that I never want to see them again, but here it is. Lame.

PS None of you understand suspension dynamics. Neither Santa Cruz or Foes have the capacity to add a Horst-Link style pivot in that ahead-of-dropout chainstay location. Specialized owns that. Besides, this bike looks like an RTS with a Horst Link which is kind of lame. It will fall apart under everyday riding. Guaranteed. Race Bike, rednecks.

Viatch, you are foolish and lack simple grammar skills. Quit yer spammin'.

Sorry, I simply can't trust anyone who cannot spell "Rotor", "Hydraulic", "Caliper" or "Brakes". That's some pretty burly mispelling boy. Are you six? You know, all those big words are actually printed on the box...

Yanks don't need Demo's. I once saw this kid post a NINE from ARKANSAS. What the hell can you do with a DEMO in ARKANSAS!? Demo's were made for the shore. But someone from BC should buy this frame, crack it, then wty it for the NEW 8 next season.

It's still a Norco. If it didn't have Specialized suspension it would be nothing. Airshocks are for yanks. Real bangers ride coil because real mountains SHRED air DHX's. You should all know that by now. Sick fork though. But Norco's are still Norco's and

(No one in their right mind would trade a SPECIALIZED for a Kona, kid. Specialized owns the block on bikes, B.) And you suckas don't need RC's. No one needs Compression except rednecks who drop to flat. Just set the fork once and go. What a deal!

Zinger is a Noob and doesn't know what he's talking about. This pic is awesome and it's already on my Desktop. It looks friggin' UNREAL. What a place to ride. Recognize!

Yeah but VPP needs to run an open compression valved shock like a DHX to work properly. I hated my M3 until I got one. Most people don't know how to set up VPP sag/rebound settings.

CONDISHION. Go back to school and sell me something when you can spell, ya bloody criminal.

Only rookies ask how many inches of travel a frame has. The point is it has a Horst Link!!! I didn't know Azonic made a sweet trailbike. Only one of their DH rigs runs the Horst Link.

S I C K N E S S x 5

PS The landing doesn't matter. He is flying in the sky and is certainly not dropping "Chilliwack-To-Flat". That's a motherf*cking aircraft carrier arrestor-hook assist high speed get the hell off the deck landing.

You people are all stupid. That is the single greatest photo that has ever been on Pinkbike. He is not "turning to land" you moron. That's an X-Up you rookie yank. Hail to this man of fury and wonder.

Nice pic, Calgary SUCKS! Keep shreddin' mawfakka.

I'll trade you a 2005.5 Intense M3 frame for that Demo frame. Racing Orange, Medium, near mint.

The secret is: THE M3 IS NO M1... Isn't it the saddest moment when you realize it... Months of Denial and setup attempts fail to pass muster...

Oh god. These bikes are so steep and so short, we call them the OLD MAN DANGER WALKERS our here in BC. They feel like you're riding in a shoping cart or something. Only without all the noise.

What is it with brain-dead office workin' yanks putting road bikes in the Dual Suspension MTB section? Can you read, people? I know America has a 28% litteracy rate, but COME ON, there's 3 ROAD BIKES IN THIS SECTION ALREADY. I mean MY GOD MAN.

Sounds like you're gonna need this bike young fella... A man can only handle so many hours of slavery with little excercise... You're gonna need an escape from time to time...

Except Jedi's.

Sam Hill is the man. He deserves to beat that damned Fabien.

Motors are for pussies

Doesn't have to be a drop ya redneck noobies. Go ride a Norco. AWESOME PIC BRA!!! Keep it pinned or go ride a skateboard I say.

Agreed. This little piece of trailer trash should have gone back to power washing his 'rigs vinyl siding rather than posting rude BS on a sweet little frame offer he doesn't intend to buy. I'd buy the frame if I had any money at all.

For the record, the band POD sucks so bad they should be deported off the planet for making us all suck just a little bit more for allowing them to be even be here. Fallout Boy sucks that bad too, but that has nothing to do with anything really.

Unfortunately, Stances are barely worth $150, even new. They are just a basic plastic plunger rod damped fork that runs on grease instead of oil. The air assist has to be removed by Manitou as well. Good luck.
