haha, kinda ironic. my '96 Powerlite P61 went through hell. i trail rode it alot, track and even tried doin some of the concrete gaps my street ride friends did. it lasted about 2 years and then cracked on me on the 2nd straight at south park (on the 2nd double), of all places. i got a free '99 out of the deal, so i was ok with that. haha. thats sorta why i went with the Pro Series chromo cause i didnt want to deal wth snapping a Al frame, but i still want a speed series or Powerlite monocoque just to blast around on.:tounge:
