I agree with buckeye on stems bending before fat bars. Last month at coral pink sand dunes my retarded friend on his 4mil banshee forgot to lift at top of dune---flat light. Pinned in third and sailed off into the sunset. Snapped both tierod ends, bent both front rims and cut tire and bent the
**** out of the stem...but the protaper fat bars were unscathed. Bent the stem up top by the bar clamps.
Oh did I tell you that we drove 300 miles for this trip and the ass wipe crashed the first dune. the first 1/8 mile into our trip. Who does that?? Got the scenic ambulance trip to Kanab utah and broken shoulder, torn rotator, missing one tooth and back and abdominal brusing like you have never seen.
**** his helmet. Very very lucky to not have broken neck,,,,, Then he threw up in my truck all 300 miles home because he could not move his arms to roll down a window or open a door before I could pull over every 30 miles. Can you tell Im pissed at him!!! glad he is alive
