Useless? The thing has shocks!! He can take it off sweet jumps. Lucky!
that is the most mismatched bike i’ve ever seen, that’s a low end XC/AM with 4" of travel and 7-8" Shiver on the front, what were they thinking when that got put together? that’s a 70+ degree head angle on that frame which is way too steep for any lift service terrain, and be careful with that shock while you’re at it.
Just bought my first “real” bike. So far I’m liking everything except the whole being out of shape part.
