Its a hack job.
![]() It certainly hasn't had an entire factory GP program budget thrown at it like the DR has. How else can you explain the near faultless front suspension?

Well... there's a lot of noise anyway...
Kinda' tend to agree...

Maybe not "pointless"... "entertaining" perhaps... but it is mostly the soundtrack and engine noise that gives the sense of "speed"... turn the volume off and watch it... ![]() Quote:
ok I'll give you the freestyle "sit on the tank" stuff and a couple of the "creeper" balance wheelies were kind'a trick... but speed/pace/handling wise - like richo referred to - the thing actually goes no faster across the ground, than a (very) average trailbike. If someone went by at that pace on a XT 225... you wouldn't bat an eyelid! It's the engine noise and all the throwing rocks about the place that make it seem "cool" (quick). Quote:

I can totally see what was going on with this guy. the knee braces, back brace and canes were doing the work that his body should have been. The body will find the easy way out every time. the weight he was carrying was also having a huge impact. What you see in that vid is he lost the weight and rebuilt the muscles. No miracle, nothing amazing just a LOT of work and pain, with a great result at the end.
