Hmm, that's a more interesting question?

I was sort of aware of the provenance of your hybrid, which made me think of spokes sticking into your femoral artery? I'm still not sure, even w/ the pricier ride. Yes, it is an intriguing stunt but you are 5 miles away from the road, how far from medical care? I am a claims adjuster by trade and have seen *all* manner of grisly injuries. W/ something like that, it's fun while it lasts but if it doesn't and you bleed out on a trail, will the video still have entertainment value? The market would likely shrink. Or maybe not. Do they still make "Faces of Death"?

I wouldn't try it on anything. *cluck cluck*. I like riding as fast as a can on roads and nice, suburban limestone trails. I've ridden through the woods a couple of times and it's sort of boring and buggy to me, I'm more lugging the bike through the woods to get to the next road?

I also think that either way, w/ your current ride or the FX, you are probably exceeding the manufacturer's engineering specifications for the bike? It looks solid when you inspect it but rain or humidity or even dryness change the texture of the land and *snap* goes your wheel and your [insert bone] breaks, along with potential for connecting ligaments, tendons, muscles, etc. A lot of times, that's a two-parter, they can't confirm the soft, connective tissues are damaged until the fracture heals so you could be looking at months of recovery? Or you could get a cool video but you have posted bunches of cool videos anyway? I've seent MTB/ BMX videos that are amazing too, and this pales by comparison with those sort of stunts. I guess either way it's up to you but I like your posts and videos and would hate to lose them somehow?
