    Yea, it didn't look that hard.:?:

    Just go nose heavy off a good sized cliff and make sure to land real hard on the front wheel.

    Do you think that was covered by warranty?


    Aaron, have you decided that the Nomad is too much bike for you yet?:lol: I might want to step up to something slightly bigger.

    To be fair, theres not much that he could have done once he stalled. That said he really should have kept pedaling instead of stopping partway up.

    People that break Coilers ride Bullets, from experience I'd say skip a step.

    That's the best advice in this whole thread. Well, that and don't case big huge jumps.

    I don't know what the next bike will be, but a Bullet is definitely a possibility.
