Ack...go back to the red/black/white combo...that's just hideous...but, I suppose with enough mud on it, you just wouldn't notice so much...
When you ride that fast ghey color combos seem to be the new cool.
It ain't that bad.
White instead of green on green on the chain stays would have been "tits" or whatever west-coast ballers call dope these days.....

Meh, I like it..... Now that tatoo bike just looks stupid.
then paint it flourescent orange
I like it.
I hate to say it...but I like it.
that **** aint baller
Tits.
it's pretty sweet except for the green, should have had them gold like the front or just plain black
Im with you, that front triangle looks awesome!
looks better here:
I love it.
ok now it doesnt look bad
ditch that little bit of gold, or make it all gold. its either one or the other in my opinion. just that little bit of gold on the top tube makes it look terrible, but i do like the tattoo's on it, and the green is deffinatly pimp. just one mans opinion though. ohh and the neon green outfit.... no.
OzzyOzzyOzzy OiOiOi
its green and gold for a reason, aussie colours duh 
Damn, Rennie's gots some cankles.looks better here:
One huge dude.
He makes that Boxxer look like a Sid.
Looks brown in the first pic, gold in the riding pic...
Gold? Ok.
Brown? Not ok.
Gold? Ok.
Brown? Not ok.
thats because they ride for kenda but use maxxis because they are better tires for them. alot of pros do that
^^^sombody didnt pick up on the humor in davep's statement
i love it, but also love my demo 7
I understand 'why' they do it....I just find it kind of odd that kenda brought on (and pay) two big name pro DH'ers to promote their new line of tires... yet Renne and Peat wont touch them.
They have been riding for kenda for a full two seasons, yet kenda still cannot make a tire that they are willing to ride in a race. That is pathetic. When the bikes show up at trade shows and at races all over the world with 'another' companies tire, for all the world to see...I have a hard time seeing how Kenda gets their advertising due from this arangement...kinda sad really.
As for a 'lot' of pros doing this....maybe in the past, but the vast majority of pros (if they have a tire contract) ride either maxxis or mich and stick to their respective companies from what I can see.
Of course there lots of guys out there who most likely will take anything free that they can get (if not tied to one co. due to contract) and will most likely swap to whatever they feel is best due to track conditions.
My point is that it is SOOOO obvious that Nathan and Peat do not ride a product that they are getting paid to....I find it funny that kenda is 'OK' with this, and try to keep up the charade.
Thats not all true. Although I have seen pictures of Rennnie running the Minions, I also have seen many pics of them still running the Nevegals.
A certain, local to me, top female World's racer that won't be named for her sake, actually was running a Maxxis on her bike in the off season, even though sponsored by Kenda, and she told me the Maxxis had much, much better grip.

'cause your average joey has no idea that they race on something else . . . it's a small minority that follows the race circuit close enough to know who is running what and where.
