last one

What type of riding/racing are you doing and how big of a guy are ya....I've never seen, read, or heard of the rear links breaking..:confused:

WTF I never seen that before and I have seen some guys on 400's catch some huge air wieghing in at 200-220lbs. Either your shock isnt setup right or you installed something wrong. That is F'd up.

I am only a 170lbs rider and i am racing at glen helen and comp park ther jumps are like 10 feet to 20 feet high tables and doubles that are from 20 to 101 feet long and can do most of them everthing is set up right. i think i need to have my shcok revalved and have a new spring put on again and that will fix it

It sounds like your shock is blown or not even on there..:eek:

OK sry to say this, but How in the *** did you do that?

Did you case the linkage on a rock or what? Cause damn wtf,never seen that before.

Maybe you ahd it connected wrong or soemthing.

You need some dang iron linkages's.:confused: :eek: :o

[Ride400exj]

I didnt case it at all i was doiong a 50 foot table and was about 10 feet high and landed on my noise and was a solf landing and it snaped

If he doesnt mind loosing the progressive travel of his angle iron, he could try removing the linkage, and going to a link-less angle iron.

Are you running a skid plate if you dont mind me asking??

[Live2Ride300]

lol, maybe if he wasnt running a skidplate, rocks keep hittin it and making it weaker, maybe putting a very small crack in it, or maybe a rock got wedged in there and when he landed the link was smashed up against the rock not letttin it move how its suspossed and maybe thats how it cracked, who the heck knows

i've had that rock thing happen before, but i don't think it'd happen to him more than once that frequently but **** who knows
