I hurt my left index finger last season and had to brake the front like that for 2 months. Now that I'm healed I catch myself doing when I'm riding casually around town. I think it opens up my grip and doesn't allow as good a hold on the bars so I never do it when really riding.

Not on Gee's bike. Gee is sponsored by Conti, not sure about the other guys

If you watch the video, they have maxxis on all the other bikes. And even on that 3rd prototype they have some high rollers on it. As well as a huge stockpile of maxxis tires

On all those test bikes they had maxxis tires, but aren't they sponsored by Continental?

You just changed what you said initially. Like I said, only Gee is sponsored by Conti as far as I know. Do you know in fact the other riders are? If they aren't, why wouldn't they want to use Maxxis or whatever they normally ride?

OK. Well if you watch the video like I said, ALL the bikes including GEE's bike have maxxis tires.

3:00 - 4:00 watch it.

All the bikes look the same or similar in the video. Can't tell who's bike is whose. Can't tell that Gee's bike was in the video. Pictures of Gee with a bike in the article have Conti's. He races with Conti's and used them for Red Bull Rampage too. I think you are making a big deal out of nothing.

Good god, I just posted a comment about how its weird that they don't ride their sponsor's tires. This is why the internet is so stupid. Maybe your making a big deal about it! :thumb:

Yeah, thanks for calling me "stupid." Nothing you posted has shown me that he wasn't using Conti tires. Video show some bikes with Maxxis tires on them. Can't tell if any of them are Gee's. Pictures show Gee's bike with the Conti's. Pictures of other riders have Maxxis on them. So f*ck off.

I can't count how many Pros in the past raced on ether Michelins or Maxxis tires with the brand name marked over. Hell I knew of a few that had their brands stickers on the tires......... I always laughed at that. Hell I am just lucky I have always had a deal with Michelin!!!!!

I see this as an improvement. Since we know nothing about the frame the alternative is baseless assessments. Now lets talk about ring finger braking and full length vs 3/4 length sleeves.
