Thats cool. they've been testing them for a while now. Do you know if they are still going to be running Fox or are they going PEP like I've been hearing rumors about?

thats awsome! i love my walsh stuff, but to much $$. Planning on going to JB next time i get new aarms. A few friends run it, and they love it, so i figure id check it out! Got a JB stem, and its really nice, so hopefully that show all their products are!

Chad was hurt when they did suspension testing and cry baby wimmer refused to test PEP , they tested Axis and Fox i believe.

Yep, the quad team picked up makita, and the bike team picked up rockstar.

Justin Bush will be riding factory polaris in the pro class and there is another rider but i cant say the name.

Good for Bush, hes a real nice guy. He helped my buddy out when he bent his zuki stem.

why would pro riders refuse to test a brand of shock?

because wimmer is a cry baby.

he wanted axis shocks for next year, wienen wanted pep's. Wienen was hurt so he never got to do the PEP shock testing with the suzuki crew.

I want to see the graphics on the 08' race bikes...should look pretty sick. Still think they should run stock swingers and a-arms. Big weens could get it done on stock equipment for sure...:cool:
