If you like it that's great, but what the pro's ride/break really doesn't have that much to do with what is a reliable design for people that pay to ride and don't plan on replacing a frame for awhile. That being said at your age and size I doubt you will be annihilating it like Hannah was.

 

[SBDownhillRacer]

yea just ride what you want. I own a stab supreme and love it while people bash konas all the time. I wouldnt call the 357 a great race bike though because pro racers get paid to ride certain bikes and could ride the same if not better on another bike then the bike their on right now. Like fabien and his stab, while it is not a stock stab he uses its geometry and does fine on it, or cody warren on the 357. Isnt this the first year of 357's as well?

Im telling you I DONT CARE ABOUT SPONSORS , QUIT SAYIN SH!T LIKE THAT, I CHOSE TO DO THIS SO QUIT TELLING ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ME SeLLING MY DEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You would've kept your Demo if you weren't "sponsored," so therefore your selling your Demo for a Haro for "sponsorship" reasons.

 

[blue]

Worst mistake I ever made was selling my bike to ride my "sponsor" bike. I've learned.

Never ride for a shop that forces you onto one of their bikes.

 

[Cave Dweller]

the swingarm itself was designed by the same person who designed the santa cruz super eight along with intense and haro.

That is soooo funny, from the sounds of it you are saying the super 8 had a strong swing arm. And the intense, ha! I've seen those snapped in half as well.

Here is my old super 8, 2 cracked swingarms.



Good luck with it!

 

[stubby]

no, i was planning on selling the demo and getting a diff bike anyways, a more racier one, not for sponsorship reasons.

 

[stubby]

and i was just saying the swingarm was designed by him i never said it was strong a$$hole.

 

[Cave Dweller]

and i was just saying the swingarm was designed by him i never said it was strong a$$hole.

Right........

So what exactly ARE you saying then? That the haro swingarm is going to crack everywhere?

And leave the personal swearing attacks out of this. You are not a very good representative of your sponsor. You should quit while your behind.

 

[metalMTB]

ew you got a haro, demo's for life mang

 

[stubby]

ok ill sell the frame and keep my demo just for you guys!

 

[motomike]

good boy. You'll appreciate us someday

 

[Sherpa]

ok ill sell the frame and keep my demo just for you guys!

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

 

[metalMTB]

good choice, maybe you would've placed at massanutten if you weren't so stupid

 

[SBDownhillRacer]

Here is my new bike, I dont care If you bash it it rides awesome.

if u like the bike then keep it. its not my first choice for a bike but if u like it and it works for u then go for it.

 

[RideSiK]

why is that derailer blackbox? its just a normal 06 derailer with a carbon cage hey??

 

[SBDownhillRacer]

why is that derailer blackbox? its just a normal 06 derailer with a carbon cage hey??

all the new 06 ones say blackbox on them.

 

[RideSiK]

theres a blackbox one... cabon knuckles and stuff...

 

[SBDownhillRacer]

heres a new one at universal cycles.

 

[SCABRIDER]

i love those cranks...

 

[mobius]

Why would you get the haro over the demo. Just curious. From my understanding the demo8 is a pretty damn good race bike (see chris herndon and kyle strait). I'm not dissing the haro but seems like a strange trade to me. Specially since the haro was known for breaking last year a good deal under mick hannah.

 

[stubby]

it was a demo nine, not an eight.

 

[stubby]

and they went through alot of prototypes of the bikeand the production version is supposed to have all the bugs worked out.the bike has been in testing for 2 years.

 

[mobius]

Oh gotcha in that case good choice over the demo9.

 

[steelewheels]

wow, ebullying at it best! ok i will tell yah all a story, got sponsored by khs, the year the dominatirx came out... worst bike i have ever ridden in my life! It was great while coasting, but pedalling that shlt pile was hell! basically turned me off racing and so on... ride what works for you and get the fvcking thing dirty!

 

[stubby]

oh ill take some mud pics today ,were building a sick dh trail in my hood.

 

[bizutch]

don't worry about breaking it...he'll never get it off the ground. Ain't that right Stubby? The bike weighs more than you do and has no throttle so the only way you're leaving the ground is if you huck it.:love:
Sorry....had to jump into this bash...too easy. Like poking a dead animal with a stick....

 

[Red Bull]

check your pm's

 

[stubby]

thanks butch, ill post some backyard pics of it today.

 

[haromtnbiker]

Send that demo frame to me since you dont want it.

But seriously, we need to ride sometime! Maybe Dark Mtn...!

 

[stubby]

You should listen to your friends.......

 

[stubby]

stubby: "spoke80 can lick my balls"

 

[Frorider1]

I dont like the haro, but if you like it thats all that matters. None of the bike sponsores I ever had told me to sell any bikes that were not of the same product they were giving me. They simply told me not to ride it at comps.

Did your sponsor tell you to get sell your demo?

 

[spoke80]

stubby: "spoke80 can lick my balls"

I'll hold you to that when they drop down.

 

[Red Bull]
