  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?

    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.

    You just never know.

    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?
