Chris Wood at Cannock Chase...who said V10s are big bikes?
As long as you run the right amount of HSC & LSC and have the right spring rate, you can safely bottom out your suspension like this with no danger. It's only bad when the bike slams into full squish and transmits that force to the rider and components.
As most of you already know, you should use full travel during a race or you aren't benefitting from the bikes suspension as fully as you can. No point in having 8,9 or 10" of travel and setting the bike up to use only 6".

Some of the pictures on here are far from fully squashed.

this is the pic i feel the most just because i ride a rotec. i don't think i've flattened it that much but i've buzzed the seat a few times
i put it through my virtual CMMMM machine and saw that is in fact straight as well
LOL!!!!!!!! mangina........I love this thread............looking at these bikes all squished is so friggin cool.........It's a little scary to see some of this stuff.............but super interesting.
What really makes you think is all the hard tail guys that put those stresses directly on their bodies time after time! Might be cool when you're young and trying to look all hard core but believe me that sh*t catches up with you later in life!
spokompton yours is great!
mine is from about the same altitude at beacon, just different area, jump is now gone though last i heard, though there is a big drop next to it

Old School:
Lets see if there is some more Full squished from turning rather than from drops out there. Or maybe just from Sheer speed over the terrain.
Another not so great shot, the rear isnt squished out, but the front is
This one is just for comparision for the others I posted as well, Same fork, but on the Blindside.
Not squished, normal sag Blah Blah

That is my least favorite part of Beacon hill by far.
You have to huck to flat like that if you want to hit it fast. Ugh
Even his rear tire is screaming for mercy.

You really like seeing pictures of yourself on teh interwebs huh?I forgot about this one
If you mean instead of taking pictures I prefer to be in them....Yes.
I friggin lost the pics I had taken at The hanger though, Lots of kids trying to do backflips on DH bikes. Now those kids were squishing out there suspension like mad

I must be the only person who finds these pics "unflattering".Kind of like a vagina.....In a completely clinical context.Ya know??Sure in the right lighting and under the right conditions they look great...but birthing a baby"in action" ??...not good.Anybody?.........no..?...........ok
This thread calls for a mandatory tutorial on proper sag and compression setup.
That picture of the guy on the Rotec....is awesome.........makes me smile everytime I see it.
That one is killer........that 40 is getting crushed....
Holy turn around time batman!
^ Whoa...!!! Those are all freakin awesome... I really like the 4th one, that bike is getting hammered.
that spring is almost non-existent
it must be like a 50# spring because that dude can't weigh more than a buck-twenty five
Best thread ever... Can't... stop... laughing... ouch!
Westcoasthucker: major props on your pic. I didn't think flexing a Monster T was even possible.
