    I get it, it sucks, honestly I do, I work in little Mexico and see how these people are in emergency situations...honestly score needs to investigate and take precautions but ultimately it doesn't matter, we lost a brother and we should all mourning not argue over the reason he died, do you honestly think he'd want that? He would want us to cherish what he brought to the sport not how. He was taken from it

    What is complete "nonsense" is that you took what I said specifically about THIS incident and tried to twist it in to me not knowing what I'm talking about by implying something I didn't say.

    What I did say: Based on first hand accounts reported by riders who arrived on the scene shortly after the accident, there is no evidence that the accident was caused by a booby trap nor the result of a collision with another vehicle. Based on what they said it IS nonsense to suggest that this accident was caused by a booby trap.

    What I didn't say that you are implying I did: Booby traps don't exist and are no big deal. I 100% agree that it would be "nonsense" to suggest that spectators don't set up booby traps. Fortunately, I never said anything remotely like that.

    Bullshit, I didn't try to twist something into anything, maybe I didn't interpet your statement 100% Ok your source says theres no evidence of track manipulation, we'll have to take that at face value , we weren't there, but you seem to imply that because your source of info didn't see evidence of tampering that any mention of it is nonsense, maybe i'm wrong but thats the impression I got... regardless, the info you got is just 1 possibility you can have 5 witnesses to an event good or bad & when you ask them for their input you can get very different views of said event..

    Requesting some help from the shock gods, how/what's the best way to turn the resi hose elbow, I've tried a wrench and it's not moving there charged up I'd rather not uncharge them if it's possible there isn't a lot of shock places in Washington

    You are going to have a hard time moving them with that much pressure on the threads. You are playing with fire, let the pressure out of them and get them recharged after you get your hoses routed. I have a Nitrogen set up if you need it, but I'm a few hours away. I'm sure you can find someone local, call the bike shops.

    Yeah. I bet if you let some pressure off it will turn pretty easy. You might even try drooping the suspension or removing the shock to relieve some pressure. If it's corroded bad, spray some break free on it and let it sit.
    Sometimes the elbow (made of steel) will corrode in the aluminum. Any time dissimilar metals touch corrosion happens.

    In other news...I love this shot!

    What shocks are they? You should be able loosen the JIC fitting at the elbow and then move the hose/point the elbow in what ever direction you need and then tighten back up. But yes they will need to be depressurization.

    The pressure won't make a difference , the part you are trying to turn is tapered pipe theads , going to take a large wrench and alot of force
