The story of the build
A bike for someone who digs. Half his riding is with a shovel in hand, the other half is four-metre drops. He needed something between a dirt bike and a DH rig: light enough for tricks, stiff enough not to fold on landing.
A 180 mm single crown, 27.5" wheels, a short rear end and a low bottom bracket. Coil at the rear with a progressive linkage so it never bottoms hard.
