Big thanks to Diablo for all the parts and money to build it, thanks to Team Speedh for the brakes.
sorry pics kinda suck, not sure how this formatting interweb stuff works
yes, is that a problem? tad cheaper to buy a demo 9 than a canfield, even with sponsor discount, i also go for a bike i can beat on daily and not exactly have to worry-whats burlier than a demo 9
Its probably just a "Hey you get 15% off of our ****" Sponsorship
This is true, but openly riding another company's frame isn't exactly how you build a long term relationship with a company, or even move up to a higher level of sponsorship.
In my case id call it FRO, im 190 nd i tend to break alot of stuff, you were at the diablo races, i raced the Jedi every single race both DH and slalom, the demos kinda ride like ****. (they were designed for freeride) I had the "choice" to ride a yeti or demo 9 through the whole season for races, not only do i like the jedi more but its WAY lighter. (10.5 with shock pound frame) as opposed to 13 without. sponsor discount on the jedi was significantly more than 5 year old discount and shop discount on a demo 9. Not everybody gets their bikes for free.
They do know i have a demo and yeti, they also agree with my previous statements that they dont nearly compare. I wont every be totally factory PRO anything because realistically, im not sam hill, i wont be sam hill, id rather not be sam hill. I have a grassroots sponsorship with them and i race their bike every race and still ride it 2-3 times a week besides that.
and the frame isnt my problem, i have a problem with blowing **** up last practice run. i got stuck paying for more last second parts than id like to own up for at races, i figure this is a beefy burly bike i can beat on and not worry about my last practice run.
Is it the frame you are having issues with or other parts (deraillers, rims, rotors, etc)?
I havent EVER had a problem with the frame, and i do not expect to, i have noticed however(and could be just my luck) that whenever i ride the demo 9(or other) the parts tend to break when i dont have to worry about it. The jedi i have has a slightly* lighter racier build to it than the demo 9. Its the same kinda principal as people that race cars, You dont see monster trucks and nascars on the street, i try to save the race bike for the races.
so your gonna practice on one bike and than race on a total different rig?
nah, (or at least not plan to) i figure i can beat on this during the weekdays, nd race on the canfield. Jonkranked-hard tail street and JD count? ive been dirt jumping forever, and id like to say im pretty smooth on a DH course(esp compared to a few years ago) Ive been told the problem isnt lines as much as "floating" ill take the same lines as most nd usually the smoother ones, but ill be that guy walking the bike down from a hole punched rim at 45PSI.
It's the opposite of plow.
more or less, its the difference between a pro coming through dead silent and another rider coming through sounding like a crashing train. (same lines)
well from what i remember he has a yeti, 2 demos? a red one and this one, and a canfield, not sure why you need 4 DH bikes!
I'll give you that.
nice ride, but you sound stupid right now son.
not a fan of fowards wheelpath, especially coming off a jedi
...so naturally buying 2 is the logical decision.
diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks
red is for sale and as stated 100 times its durable and cheap, any real reason y you and yuroshek are flaming me, not good behavior for a factory sponsored rider?
Nah man I was just giving you a hard time, no harm meant.red is for sale and as stated 100 times its durable and cheap, any real reason y you and yuroshek are flaming me, not good behavior for a factory sponsored rider?
read the rest of the forum, never said the frame had anything to do with it
