sh***t! BS-ing caught on camera and he knew it (that smirk on his face)!

[johnathan]

Oh my god what the hell is he going on about. Talk about saddle up your arse syndrome. Come on i feel far more comfortable when im on a bike i know i can get off in a hurry without catching any of my body on it.

[Couch_Surfer]

I'm actually pretty surprised that he's got it on his website. All I know is if that's what he really believes standover height is all about, he better be giving groin protection away with every frame sold.

[johnathan]

And a big squishy saddle to go along with the protection.

yeah, cause I 'buy the bike to ride it, not stand over it' of course...

What a tool. He completely misses the point that "standover" or more acurately TT height, has to do with alot more than just hitting your nuts. A smaller, lower rig will feel nore nimble. Try Tabling/getting flat on that thing and see how your feeling in the morning. Try whipping it around underneath you on tech sections or flowy berms, I gaurentee you that having to monkey over that TT to get it to not kill your inner thighs will make you want to return the thing...

I really can't believe what I just witnessed. I guess he believes people prefer to ride their TT.

[HIBuLlitT]

his own.

[Col. Craig]

Keep in mind this is an 'Agrressive XC/trailbike'. Not a little slalom susser, or your dinky little street ride.

I think you're all nuts.

wtf are you talking about, the only ads i've seen for that bike have chris glew riding it on the shore, so they're obviously trying to market it as 'all mountain' if not light freeride. but thats beside the point, that idiot is rambling on about standover hieght, throws a leg over the bar and clearly gets his nuts smushed.
I may be 'nuts', but you missed the point of what we're making fun of him for.

:lol: yeah, okay.

I'm really hoping you forgot the <sarcasm> tags for your post.

[johnathan]

Im not going to start flaming but at the end of the day you can call us all nuts if you want but we actually care about them and i think i speak for the rest of the group when i say standoever height is pretty essential for most of us to help protect them. If i misenterpreted your post i apoligise for this.

Didn't you see him tripod that Moment just to get off? I've had bikes in the 90's with more standover.
