But then again if no one's got anything to say back surely you have a watertight argument/point - or no one cares; i like to think it's the former. <BR/><BR/>Alex's rim dying was scary man, mind you I'm not really surprised with a huge drop like that. And he lands it bang; both wheels slamming down super quick. It looked like he had ran out of forward momentum to kill the drop out of the jump. Hard to tell from the angle though.<BR/><BR/>I want to know what rims Randy Taylor used<BR/>http://rideukbmx.com/magazine/ride-issue-111<BR/>And what's Cameron Wood riding rim wise at the mo?<BR/><BR/>I think BMX companies should make a move towards letting their buying public see the results of safety testing. At the moment it seems that a pro will ride a prototype part and after a while give the ok.
