good stuff! We have 2 photographers there as we speak shooting away. Should have the first galleries going up on the weekend and more during the week as the 35mm stuff gets processed.

Is Moni (aka dump) down there? He got pretty messed up after that f'in car, and I wasn't sure about his recovery or prognosis.

I guess your right. I wonder what the weight will be on the 666? Do they have the same steel stanchions as the z150? As much as I like zokes, I could never buy a fork that heavy for a trail bike.

I am not one to gossip, so you didn't hear it from me.... But you should double check the travel on that 66 on the front of that Demo 9....

According to the Marzocchi literature of the 2005 stuff which shouldn't have been posted, I think the travel was around 6.7" of travel. :)

That's awesome that Evil went with a normal seat tube angle on the Imp. I could never quite understand why it was hella slack in the first place. Also those dropouts appear to be a bit more conventional too. I wonder if there is anything the Imp. won't be able to do now :thumb:

I'm glad to see Sven got that out of the way on his first day...I'd hate for him to have to wait till Saturday to eat sh11t. :D

PS-Check out Anka's helmet when you can. Inkpad (Stu T) and I gave it the custom treatment. I'll probably post pics of that later this evening. Rob's helmet, done by Rob and Stu is sick sick sick too.

Even the stem is Cammo on that bike!

I like the looks of the Intense moreso than the VP Free - I wonder what the differences in performance/ride characteristics are?? I ask because I'll never get to know by riding either bike - they might as well be made out of unobtanium for me. :(

It's just 150mm and 170mm for choices right? Or were those specs wrong as well? :devil: But 6.7" of travel still sounds a bit short on a 9" bike...hmmmmm...:think:

I just whipped out the trusty ruler and did some scaling of the V8. Its not going to be exact, but using the measure of the radius of the wheel, thinking that the wheel is 26.5 in diameter. It comes out that there is about 8 1/8" of exposed stanction on that Sherman :eek:

As for that 666, hmmm, why would Brian mention something if it wasnt important. It looks close to 8in of travel, also notice that that crown looks machined vs. the norm of marzo forged crowns.

machined would just mean its a protoype usually, like when you buy Konas half-year model junk....:rolleyes:
