In all honesty an uber slack joke bike would probably save a ton of Joeys from landing on their face after approaching those drops at 5kph.

So would removing the front brake.

I'm honestly expecting this and the grim donut to break on the bottom of the downtube near/at the head tube after a bunch of huck to flats. That super slack head angle is just going to put so much a a bind in the fork that its not going to move much on a flat landing and just put a ton of stress right into the frame there. Probably wouldn't be an issue with a linkage fork though...

So you are saying you would Trust a linkage fork more?

I wouldn't Trust a linkage fork that has its own binding issues. Maybe if it was a lefty so it wouldn't have binding issues, I'd Trust it.

i think you missed the message

You Shouted it loud and clear.

Sometimes its not a matter of doing a stoppie, just riding very slow with all the weight over the forward wheel

No brake fixes that riding slow part.

They will drag the rear one.

That don't slow you down though.

He’s trying to weagle out of this.

2 things-

Anyone have that "drawing" that this resembles?

And, Karpiel Armageddon.

thats a giant pile of anti squat. do i have to be like a maestro and spell it out in the air for you?

On the flat trails they ride if they drag it all the time then it will. It's like you never tried riding trails on a rear brake only dirt jump bike

But then you've solved the problem of the endo and stuffing the front wheel! I like this recursive loop!
