does he jump it
hehehe seen any of my vids
hes getting way better real quick he does nofooters now lol
yea pritty crappy but i aint complainin he got a few great rides out of it
time to upgrade him me thinks
there thats the weak point on those frames and i new it as theres a stres point there so no matter new frame to easy
he was like dad i didnt mean it lol
oh and he's only 65 kg the lil fat ass
he cracks me up so nxt week we gettin a new frame and he can then start to learn his whips hehehe
i do think tho it was a manufactures fault as my bike seems sweet as, in that point but ,thems the breaks (pardon the pun)

Thats pretty impressive, havnt seen anyone break one of those frames yet.
Ive put mine through alot and bottomed out hard as hell and its still fine, I think I'll go a little easier on mine now that Ive seen that.
Doesnt look like he's bottoming out at all in your video's...
The stuff those frames are made of is really really cheap stuff though. I snapped my old single tube one clean in half.

yea flazz he dont bottom it at all just a manufactures fault i recon as when they drilled the bolt hole i think they missalinged it and then bored it out to suit , i didnt pic that up till it snapped as i have to remove the donk to see it
the lil chinny buggers ,but like i said he's getting better all the time so i knew id be up for a new something soon hehehe
wont be long till he's of the pittys and on to a 125

Yeh thats still crazy. Please explain the "stress points" so I know what to look for on my frame. This would have to be one of the first of these types of frame snapping what I know of.

well when i last went over the bike i could see that the frame paint was wrinkled a tiny bit just got my eye ,i thought it was more just pain being rubbed so i did the bolt up ,wasnt loos but nicked it up a lil.That was a few weeks ago and today we were rideing on a grass paddock and well there ya go hehehe
so there's always a first ,and dude there way thin and there not tubes so there ya have it ,i didnt expect it to snap there eithere but i also didn t expect man to land on the moon and ....
