Could be riding style or suspension setup related.
Are other components on you bikes failing?

Try riding a hard tail on DH trails, that will make you smooth FAST.

If you want a frame that is stronger than a lot of frames out there on the market, and is light weight, and has an awesome suspension design look at a canfield jedi.
Agreed! I am used to breaking a frame a season but this is my third year on my Jedi! Oh, I did I mention it eats bumps and corners like a champ?!

I've been riding my Canfield Formula 1 and just cracked it the other day. The funny thing is, the one I cracked was a "crash replacement" from last year - oh yeah, this is my second Formula1 - Best bike I've ever ridden, but there seems to be a flaw in the material of the frame - it cracked in the same spot as my first one. However, it lasted me a season and a half of great riding - that consisted of Diablo, Platty, and Highland. Now my season might be over - unless i can work something out with the brothers... we shall see
