So true. It's surprising if Mike Aitken ever breaks anything.

What's really funny is that rumor has it Chase Hawk ripped the headtube off of one of his signature frames a few weeks ago.
Not that i really care but, i thought it was hilarious.

They really design frames for the kids who try to ride like the rider whose name is on the frame, not for that rider.
He should have a much stronger frame, since he can actually do all the stuff that they try to do and fail.

Yeah, any frame 5 pounds or under just shouldn't be in production. I think they should be thought out a bit more tjan just about creating light frames.

I still find it humorous.
If i cracked/broke/jacked up my prototype frame, i'd probably have them make it stronger. But that's just me!
