You cant see it but behind the bush there is a small swimming pool. Haha.

ALL OR NOTHING.

Wait wtf.... a 29er rear with a 26" fatty up front. Who does that?????? And wouldn't you at least want the 29er on the front???

 

[superwetbrett]

he is 6-8 feet in the air and he has a helmet and knee pads on.. cheating death?? seriously

 

[Bedpost]

That whole front end looks weird to me.. anyone care to explain? never seen a tire/fork combo like that.

Fatty front/26", 29" rear. Overall tire diameters are pretty close to even.

I used to do that on my Schwinn when I was 10.... if you can believe it, NO protective gear. :Flush:

Looks like fun though.

Yea he may skin his elbows if not careful.

What would really be impressive is if he could go up the hill.

I say they're photoshopped, he's not wearing spandex shorts like real mountain bikers do, at least according to all the haters.

Going down is no problem, it's whether you ride it out or not.

Steve sends me alot of ride pics. Those are small compaired to some of the others!!!!!!!!!!! It either a Blacksheep or a Jones Space Frame. Cannot remember.

 

[Big Kahuna]

oh, keep in mind, that is a full rigid bike. No Shocks!!!!!!

outer diameter of the front tire is almost the same as a 29er tire.

That's a Jeff Jones bike. And it's anything but rigid. The whole steel frame flexes. He's been building these crazy things for years. "h" bars too.

Wanted to see if anybody picked up on the aspects of the design and how much flexibility those frames have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
