wow that santo's stuff is nice. Is that guy ok?? also was that the sx trail? idk but I could def see that one coming ouch
In the 1st pic, do I see a wayward chainstay?
yeah, just slightly tweaked. it also looks like the fork is about to blow those springs through your stomach like a shotgun.
Yea, that was a trail SX. Not bad for Florida...
That's ummm sick, got any more shots of anyone else?

Doh..nice pics, where are the carnage shots?
Good lord that is large....glad he got up.
Wow, that guy had some balls do to it on a 4x race bike.
ok thats what I though becuase I also saw a guy doing a pretty big drop with and sx trail and it held up fine. Why in the world would someone do a drop that big on a normall SX??
That is huge!! ^Yeah, thats kind of a big hit for an SX.
its big fo an SX but if the landing was steeper, and he didnt come up nose heavy he would be fine.
Well we now know what link to send people when they are inquring how much the sx's can handle. That's about the limit! Nice friggin' air bro!
Wow you go riding with a tractor in tow sweet
that is some heavy Sh1t if i do say so. I wonder if that sort of thing would be covered under warranty replacement....
The video of the crash is seen at www.santosmtb.com Click on- the new 20 video. He lands way far down but crashes and gets back up in does a lil dance! 
wow nice video, thanks for the link
Well I would hope most people don't expect to be able to huck a frigging race bike with an air shock off a 20 foot drop, I mean honestly how ****ing stupid are people?largextracheese said:
Im not sure Id call that stupid.... And that SX dropped it fine untill an off landing caused the rear end failure.
HT yes SX not such a good idea
big difference between a ht and a 4x airshock race bike
You can tell from the side profile of the picture that the tranny is not steep enough. If the tranny was further out, (like 10 feet) but the same angle, and he hit it with more speed, his bike would have handled it just fine. Or, they could have built the landing steeper. It looks like they did a good job on the tranny, it just needed to be steeper. Nice drop though.
the tranny and everything is pefect, the guy you launched it landed it wronge
aluminum fatigues, it's a lightish stay, most of the '05 enduro line up was known for having some iffy stays, they also got improved/revamped promptly by the big S
he road the bike........ if you look around on the site and watch some of the video clips, you'll see the bike getting used a good bit, and probably a little outside of it's design intentions. Repeated use like this, eventually it just gave, this just happened to the be the hit that it snapped on.
