Its not manitous falt :) I crashed jumping a triple that is like 25-30 feet, I was going to ride down the backside of the second bump and pump the 3rd one. But instead I overshot it a little and then then my front wheel landed at the bottom of the 3rd bumps front side and I then procceded to fly in the air for 10ft or so :) This happened on my 1st run down C.O.P's new 4x course. I surprised with how strong that sherman was, most other forks would of failed alot worse with a case like that with the speed I had. I didn't even notice it was broken until I got down to the bottom of the hill.

how big of a tire were you running? im just wondering from the rub marks inside the arch

[Gottagobiking]

I was running a 2.7 high roller. I have lots of clearence with it in there, those marks are just from riding for a couple of hours with really loose spokes.

My girlfriend and I watched your crash from the lodge at COP.

The funniest part was that he was on the course with his buddy, they both dropped down this steep section, his buddy goes launching HUGE off of the berm (off the course into the grass) at the bottom and starts ragdolling down the hill (he had no front brake and street like tires). And gottagobiking keeps riding down the course and lands on the flat spot on the camel hump and bounced down into the berm. That was the most entertaining 20 seconds of the day.


The camel hump looks like a table with a short tranny, flat spot and longer tranny.
