what's your take on skinsuits, provided they match your bike and helmet?
You might not be a highly paid pro (what do i know?) but I have seen you racing in WP last year with a broken hand. That was bada$$ riding! I really would like to hear your thoughts on the DHR, pleaaaaaaasssseeee!
The dude riding it is the incredible world cup rider in his own class!!! its called
SUPER PRO!! thats why he can race in his jamies and still kick as$.

i'll post dondon's review in an attempt to name drop...
dondon and i were IM'ing the other day and here's what he said about his ride
"i only went OTB 3 times, so it's a pretty sweet bike."
keep in mind, this is the guy who broke his neck (literally) from going OTB at 2mph in whistler. everytime he goes on a ride, he breaks something on his body (wrist, shoulder, ballsack) and he's more than a qualified reviewer because he has a pro model skateboard...seriously, i have one of them.

Nice attitude. That's David Turners son.
what a pinkbike thread this is.
All you fasiontista's should head out to the garage with a razor and the newest thrice album.

I did, I just havent had a chance to rep yetno one liked my garbageman joke eitheroster_oops:
Am I the only one who thinks this goofy "rep" thing is just a big stroke-a-thon?
shouldn't matter who's son it is
LoL - well that explains the OTB on the DW-Turner - S.., I mean DonDon was probably trying to go for a heel-flip to dark-slide... :biggrin:©2001;3100939 said:
In all seriousness - I agree with DonDon - ease up guys and think before you speak. Tearing into a random pic of someone "just because" on a site where LOTS of industry people lurk is wildly ill-advised.
I spoke with Dave Turner on the phone for quite a bit a few weeks back, and he and Turner were highly focused on moving forward in getting new protos out on the dirt for track time and testing - and this was at least a month ago. It's awesome to see the new creation out there already and I can't wait to see how things progress and move forward as this new rig goes to production.
So here's a "Hell Yeah!" to Dave, dw, and the Turner crew - props for the design, work, and future success!

You've obviously mistaken an internet forum for a place where balanced views are presented and peoples opinions are valued, pretty much all of them descend into the lowest common denominator, hell some of us even find that amusing!
what is "sunnies?"
Its what bright flaming homeosexuals call sunglasses.
I hear you even have to take a test first to prove
above average flaminess before you can even use the word.
It looks like a couple of people in this thread passed the test!
So is genuinely interesting people on ridemonkey.
For the record there were no OTB's. I have ridden many DH bikes, but have only ever chosen to race on Turner DHR's and Iron Horse Sundays. Since this bike is only a proto and there will be quite a few tweaks made, it would be a bit premature to make judgement or give detailed feedback. That being said i don't think there is a better match between two people and what they both bring to the bike. An updated DW link suspension platform with new pivot placement, (for smaller chainrings that are being run today VS when the sunday was designed) improved shock characteristics, lower CG, married with a Turner fit and quality construction. Not to mention the lightweight, slack HA etc...
Fail * Fail = Succeed.
D@mn this thread turned out funny, Im glad I clicked! 
who gives a crap who is riding the bike? Why does the first public photo need to be some fast superstar racerboy homo nut sucker that has a matching kit that is one off?
When the Sunday was in the early stages DANTE was riding around wearing funky ass looking fugly IH shirts and he is pretty ugly and not the fastest guy in the world(sorry DANTE) F^ck Sam Hill is a ugly Mother Focker and I do not approve of his Troylee color choices either.
Why are there so many pinkbikers on here all of a sudden, you queers argue like i did when I was 11

Can you write a review on the skateboard please.©2001;3100939 said:
Hmmm. No results for plate number 34??
buncha whiny saps on here.......i can't wait to try that thing.....if it's as much of an improvement on the old DHR as the new DW Link 5 Spot is over the old 5 Spot, then i'll probably hurt myself the first time i ride it.......i'm an amped up fan boy, not gonna lie....
one person has ridden it in unfinished form and he's either not a member or won't talk about it on this forum.
If you want an e-opinion,
it's awesome, corners on rails, no flex, comes in rootbeer, hadley's website is www.hadley.com, looks awesome with kawasaki green doublewides and gazzi 3.0s, sam hill rides one, and the handlebars are 42 inches wide with -2.5 inch rise, and the complete bike comes in 19.5 lbs with carbon everything including tires.
Does that help?

He likes to use his middle finger to brake and i wonder if that is his weight in tonne on the number board??? maybe he is employed by turner as the destructive tester??? who knows like your man says he looks like he is having fun even if he is on a horrible green coloured bike(Kawasaki or not)..
