  1. Has anyone read the article in the current MBA about the
    Switchblade being setup for XC and another as a "big
    hit" bike?

    Are they really serious... about the big hit comments? I
    mean c'mon that frame doesn't look like it could really take
    a drop over 6'. Fox forks, air shock? The headtube doesn't
    even look tough enough for dual crown forks.

    Or am I wrong and missed people riding them at the Red
    Bull Rampage?

    Have you? The only thing the ragazines are good for is
    laughing at.

    Are you sure you are in the right newsgroup here?

    Maybe you should try one of the extreeem forums on mtbr.
    This newsgroup is about riding bicycles, not coasting or
    circus clown stunts and tearing up the environment in the
    name of ego.

    Who is? If you were referring to JD, then you should of had
    a comma after 'Hilarious'. Like this :

    'Hilarious, man!'

    Maybe he was invoking a superhero.

    I was refering to JD. My English isn't very good. If that
    offends Americans then your correction is hilarious, man!

    Is that like a double positive, both being hilarious? If not
    then JD sucks and you suck! So there you both are cool now.

    Relax I am just f!@#ing with you. I am American and at my
    age I have forgotten more than just this stuff. When I was
    young I came upon a lot of opportunity and I had to decide
    what to let go of in order to stay ahead of the $$$ curve.
    See we are all finite and our mental prowess IS limited. You
    just gotta choose for yourself what knowledge is important
    enough to remember so it can serve you in this life/world. I
    know a lot about OSI based networking and how it is
    implemented across our planet. English just ain't important
    to me as it used to be. Especially on Usenet. Why because it
    is only a small part of the way the people communicate on
    this planet. If it is for you good! I hope it is paying off
    for you in some greater way than just correcting others.
    Point is the only reason you know these rules is because
    someone told you what is important to know.

    Or maybe you were just kidding too! In that case I am a
    hypocrite and am just as guilty as you because I was
    correcting you too! LOL.

    Too much coffee this morning, bro.

    In any case UPS just delivered my 5th Element shock for my
    Bullit!!! So I am gonna ride now!

    Well you have a point with the shock. It blows out it's
    seals every few months. I would rather have a Fox coil over
    but hey it came with the frame. I really don't care about
    spv for freeriding. I have specific bikes for different
    things. I do think the Bullit is a good design for what it
    is mean for. Not the greatest FS (brake jack, etc.) but for
    freeride and non-pro DH it really does a good job.

    Hey I can appreciate your not into the "big hit" riding. I
    ride road, XC, urban and dirt jump too. I just love all
    kinds of bikes.

    So.... anyone really think the Titus switchblade is able to
    be truly freeridden?
