To get the laser beam effect don't you have to have a long exposure? And then to get the picture of the guy wall riding don't you have to have a fast exposure? So this can't be real can it? I mean it could be two pictures sliced together or something... But the rider also looks like he was cut out and pasted there... Suspicious... I am by nature skeptical.. Still loooooks cools tho Short travel, but beefy and lightweight bikes is the future. I like the reign except for its weak pivots. I fear I'd snap one if I landed even slightly sideways. Ok if you're a pro and always land straight. Will be loose bearings then causing the wheels to move ever so slightly to rub against brake pads. Tighten your bearings or replace them if sealed.... My 2 cents Plumbers tape. Wrap this stuff on all screwed in things. Make sure to wrap in direction so that it does not unwrap as you screw in. Cover with grease for easy application and extra nice fit. Silent! Awesome. Enjoy the light while it's on you. Once China starts affording time for hobbies they'll send their two year olds to advance MTB dirt jump clinics. Imagine a million Chinese kids doing triple backflip supermen over flaming croc infested oil spills. The future looks awesome. Those who make it to the next level "progress" the "sport".. Ha! 
You say what you say, but all I hear is "evolution". To be a great swimmer you need wide shoulders, long body, big feet. To be a great basket ball player, tall, fast. To be a model you need to be attractive. To be a banker you have to have no morals and no empathy. And so on. To be a great MTB rider you have to want to impress your friends / family by how brave you are. To be a failure you have to want to impress others too much. There's a balance. We all make calculated risks, this is evolution, survival of the fittest. Those who are bad at understanding probability do not get to have children.
Ha! 
What landing? 
Except there were no pedals on those bikes. I bet pedals whack the other bikes. You'd probably want to tie down the crank arms or else they'll swing in the wind? And what about stress on the headsets? I suppose bikes are meant to take a lot of stress there, but but but hymmm Does any one else tend to skip the first few minutes of vids these days to skip all the boring intro? MTB vids (well all vids really) tend to have all the good bits at the end... Ha ha. Innuendos! That would be a good name for a bikeframe: innuendo, the frame that keeps on giving. Or a good name for a bike trick, "Did you see that guy innuendo? He was sick!" HA HA! That would be sweeeet. And have four twist shifters, one on each end of each grip. Or better yet, have those new fandangled mind shifter sets. An EEG machine in the helmet that reads your thoughts and changes your gears accordingly. Totally. 8 gears would do the trick. The key would be having different ratios for different purposes. Small range for DH, large range for XC and medium for FR. About Us
