And i highly doubt you did an 8' drop and only bent a bar-end.
I wasn't upright when I landed. My body hit the ground before the bike. I landed on the right side, hence the right bar end and messed up derailleur.
I found a new mongoose inferno full suspension bike with a judy tt front fork that says it lists for 599.99 on sale for $270. ??
I'm on my way out now to check out used bikes.
