    it seems so! haha I know Steve Smith drives one, he has either a 2012 or 2013 in his newest video. Its looks pretty sweet. He used to have a first gen in one of his older videos. my photo on my pinkbike profile is of i think either james doerfling or garett buehler hucking over a tacoma

    Has anyone ever had a complaint with a rear air shock? like blowing it out type stuff? i see them on almost every new bike now but the only one ive had experience with didnt last very long at all. it was on my buddys bike and all he did was ride off a loading ramp and blew it out.

    The Collective has a great set of videos.

    There's also a kid on PB that's come out with some good edits Boostmaster.

    Gotta say there are a lot of really talented people making short youtube videos that are great quality.

    I haven't had a problem with mine yet. Ive ridden 3 trek FS bikes and they were all fine. any idea what bike/how old it was? also it might have been that the air was release. I was told that air shocks release air if there is a big hit but i havent verified. it makes sense though

    also going slow off a decent size loading dock can be a pretty hard hit for a shock to take. most people don't drop their bikes to flat and those who do are usually on longer travel bikes
    boostmaster does make some pretty good edits. there are a ton of great edits out there.

    All or Nothing looks sick, should be coming out soon too.

    yea that makes sense i didnt realize there was an air release. that was probably it. it was pretty much a brand new bike. probably less than 2 months old. i was just curious. ive always had a good old fashioned spring haha

    I've seen so many good pieces that are made by riders the blow away some of the "pro" stuff.
    Sometimes one hit wonders but more often than not, they have several good edits.

    Lot of innovation too. Like the cable cams or other unique solutions. It's awesome for sure. And a lot of them have great edit skills to.

    definitely, the first thing I thought of was this. I don't really consider Andrew Whiteford a pro, but not really an amateur either. I love his ski vids and when I first saw this video I thought the angle was so sick. I wish vimeo would embed on here!

    Before I post in the Buy Sell trade area, Anyone interested in some Crank Brothers Candy's? I have like 4 sets of C's and a set of SL's ... I saw a set of the Eggbeater SL's too, but I need to dig further in the closet to get to them.

    They are all new, but I only have the Candy SL's in the box.

Well they have the GT Fury downhill bike and it is awesome!!!!! That is the only thing I can say about that bike. I will be renting that for some riding this Spring into Summer... I can't wait.

    Kind of.... was just trying to get the bike pic itself. This thing as 8" up front and 9 in the rear if I remember correctly. They were selling the rental bikes for $2900.... of course the sale already ended before I got there but I bet that is a good price.
