sorry about it getting pod but i had already advertised that it WAS NOT MY PHOTO all creds go to raging hippo as i did not take this photo i really dont think the mods thought this pod through as i stated it was not my photo in the description so dont get up at me for it getting pod cuase i didnt choose it to be.
Nah, its not bottoming out, he's just pimped it. Its running on Air rides. He's just slammed it to the Weeds. I'm sure i saw that bike on 'Pimp my Tomac' the other week... Great Pic! Deserves POD!
Pinkbike!!!! I can't believe you guys gave POD to someone who even said "not my photo" in the description. If I was raging-hippo I'd be so pissed, and any other photographer who may have been ripped off before.
not to be a doush or anything but i have a friend who his DJ3s that go all the way just pushing on them, it is like thier arent even internals it just hits the bottom and makes a bang sound. but this is the most bottom out DH forks in a picture i have ever seen. props to the person who took this.
Guys dont get pissed at nic for posting the photo, it's the mods that chose the photo to be poD even though he said it wasnt his photo in the description and i had alredy posted acknowledging where the original photo is and that I took it...
To all the people who are bitching about this being stolen, READ THE DAMN COMMENTS AND DESCRIPTION! Not only is it being stated that the picture isn't his, but he is giving full credit to the original owner! THEY AREN'T MAKING A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT SO WHY ARE YOU.
This just shows you how much a boy loves his bike. Never lets go, it's just one of those magical bonds in nature that will never be explained by scientists. I just fell in love with that photo... LOOK AT IT!
This might be irritating to hear, but dude, your front tire pressure is WAY too high. A flat-landing-bottom-out-your-DH-bike-smash-your-eye-on-your-bar compression should take your tire to the rim. You are not getting the responsiveness and traction that you would get from lower tire pressure (with or without UST tires and rims). Sorry about your eye.
The pic might have touched a sore spot w/ justhixon (his face?) from personal experience(s)? Justhixon, can you whistle thru your two missing front teeth for me?
Why do people always say on a bottoming out picture "ah that makes your bike/fork crap"? Do people not realize that their own bikes look like that sometimes? Forks/shocks are designed to absorb impacts and thus will inherantly bottom out. It also depends on how you like to run your shock, with sag/ramp up etc etc; just cus it bottoms out on something smaller doesn't mean that all those type of forks are shit.
Secondly i'm totaly with Byangoma; don't pass judgment on something unless you have extensively tested it yourself, just because you own a set of forks doesn't make all the competition shit. Also once again its down to personal preferance, I have raced with both Boxxers and 40's and I personally prefer 40s but as mentioned above, modern race forks are all of a very similair standard thus in the end its down to what the individual rider prefers.
