its 7.875 x 2.0, and its more linear as opposed to the progressive air shock, so it keeps its spring rate through the 4 inches of travel instead of ramping up like an air shock does

 hmm, I just broke the chainstay on my 09 Parker(it was black so I guess it wasnt the upgraded one) Its funny because in 08 they said oh dont worry the 09 C.S. are stronger, now people are breaking the 09s and of course now they say the 2010s are the stronger ones! Time will tell I guess. You like the bike though? I love mine.

 who knows, we were drunk

 no I had my skate helmet on, Ive bought a full face since then though

 2.5 in the front and 2.35 in the back, and theyre super stoked!

 are you the same Dave that took the pictures for 'Women of the Palouse?'

 i know its dry as a bone everywhere, theres rain forecasted for tomorrow though, must be all the rain dances ive been doing

 where in town is this? or is it a secret?

 you got it right on the money! this pic was recently in a PB article called '3 days in the backcountry', and their caption for this photo was "Feeling a little insignificant"

 thanks dude, you live in spokane?

 blue heeler actually, and shes the best trail dog ever!, but the jack russell is a pain in my ass! if she goes outside without a leash she instantly bolts down the street, and if i tie her up to a tree at some dirt jumps she yaps and yaps if I get more than five feet away. grrrr

 yeah they say they dont even have a production model yet, and dont know if they will, they say that the price to build one is way too high to market to the public, so I hope your right about it catching on, cause these things look awesome

 Half Baked is one of the best stoner films out there, and ballsofsteel; your ridiculous, "stop the hate child" is just a quote from the movie, you shouldn't "TAKE IT SO PERSONALLY" as you like to put it, and if you'd read my comment you'd know that even your cool in my book, cause im guessing you ride bikes right? i just think its stupid that people segregate riders cause of the type of bike they ride, if i saw a fat gross crackhead bitch riding the crappiest walmart bike ive ever seen, id still think she was cool

 definitely! i tried to tell him to buy a decent bike when he started riding but he wouldnt listen, he paid like 300 buck for that hunk of junk

 your high as shit

 go watch Half Baked...

 because of crack cocaine and birkenstalks

 stop the hate child! 20"ers are bikes too. I dont care what people ride, if its got 2 wheels and some pedals, your cool in my book
