yeah...tell that person to buy a better bike....or in the case they have a full out custom bike already...tell them to take it back and buy a better bike....
i would say skidding would tweak your wheelset...long before it would ever mess with your frame...hell i'm over 215lbs...lol
and i have never tweaked a wheel or felt a frame of anytype flex from skids, hops or anything like that...i mean a friend of mine swears he skid off a tubbie from the rim...but he always adds inches to his fish stories, so unless he shows me a picture, or then if so it was because he did something wrong in changing his tire..
my point is....
