[sik-pj]

hi

any thing will break or snap if you jump a decent size jump mate

yehh i no that but i dont full jump like high.

they are decent but it all depends on what frame your looking at, some have build in supports, some dont. once again if you dont mind the extra $$$ go for a titanium frame, chances are you wont break one of these no matter how hard you try.

not really. i want something good and ppl on this other site say they are good for jumping wont snap so ill just get that bike mabe. thanks

 

[Bones]

to be honest, the gt / pitster is running the same frame, i personally have jumped about 55 feet, maybe 60 feet a few times and the frame is showing no signs of damage, stress fractures or anything. it seems to be very strong, and as i said, the gt do have a titanium frame so if need be you can get one of them for about 1.5k or something like that but it will never ever brake.

personally experiences have told me that you wont be braking that frame for a good long time.

ok thanks heaps bones. so when i buy the mso X6R and i jump it i will not snap bend? i wont be doing big jumps just a pit bike track.

well i have one, my brother has one and my mate has one as well, sa dirtbikes have sold about 100+ in the last 3 - 4 months and not one has come back with frame problems so i would say you will be fine. also if im jumping 50 feet thats pretty decent and i dont think i have seen a mini track with a jump much bigger than that so i would say you will be fine bro.
