the linkage looks fine to me,the shock broke.
NO One knows what happend...As far as I know
There is alot of rumors out there....I was standing right there when Jones passed Byrd and hit the jump/whoops.. Alot of the Media was around Jones when he pulled off but they just took pictures of the rear of the bike...Jones Mechanic ran over there and pretty much Blocked the photographers out when they lifted the Suzuk up from the rear.. Then they all went inside the Suzuk Pit and blocked every Hole they found, so that noone can see what happend... There was no pieces flying or laying around from the shock......
:grr:
I believe the rear part of that linkage has another piece to it, the tab that physically mates the shock to the linkage.
That to me is what appears to have broken.
As for what Walsh part breaking, it goes to show everyone is human, and jones being superhuman at times, can prove faults in anything. What makes a good company is wether they address the problem correctly, and with both Fox, Walsh, or Suzuki I am sure the problem will be dealth with.
Also in that photo did everyone see how close the font tires are to the nerfs bars????....If I did that to my quad I don't think it would be anywhere close....It doesn't look right at all...the bling star nerfs look really big and gawdy!!!Quote:

in this pic you can see the stock pull rod off the dog bone this is the part that broke I bet
jones was running a fox shock,fox linkage,& stock swingarm. the tabs that connect the link to the swingarm broke, causing the shock to break, the linkage is probally the last thing to break, but look for a walsh swingarm on jones bike for texas.
where are the pictures?
Sure looked like a broken shock to me....
are you realted to dana creech??
What happen to dana in the second moto?
from the picture it deffently broke from the frame not the swinarm. If it was from the swingarm the linkage whould be much closer to the frame. in the pictures it looks like its hanging from mid swingarm. With a darkblue/black pieces on the linkage from the rear pictures witch seems to be the frame broke. and it looks like a stock linkage?
