Bearclaw has the most influential riding style on the planet, so this can only be a good thing

I love his section in Roam, so smooth and every trick tweaked to perfection! Looking forward to seeing this

yeah same here. Bearclaw has natural talent unlike a lot ofother younger freeriders out there. Let's hope Derek Westerlund puts somehting good together for NWD 8! (the claw's segment in nwd 7 was awesome)

mmmm...he always has really fancy paintjobs, pink was a bit weird but i liked it. the black and white one that he's been riding looks alot more sophisticated than the others.

Been thinking of getting an SX next year. Heard a few stories of the back ends snapping though.

hearing stuff like that alwatys annoys me...cos then you don't know if it is just one case or batch...or is it an underlying design falt....but then i think (in this case), Bearclaw rides one and they don't seam to break on him and he thrashes them as if it were going out of fassion, not onkly that but i think specialized would quickly fix a problem like that, don't you?

Yeah it kind of puts a bad name on a product what could have been a one off fault. But pros get given new bikes all the time. How do we know the claw aint regularily snapping them? I heard a similar story on long travel single crowns but so far so good for me anyway. Don't always believe the hype.....

I think ANY spesh snapping is a pretty rare thing...
and personally if i were pro; i wouldn't ever ride a bike i thaught might snap on me! even if i was getting given new bikes all the time.....
so yes... Get the SX !
I'd rather have one of them over a demo or big-hit anyday...
by the way..... It has been acknowladged that the Jumps at bedgebury and the new beginners NS section is now open... yeah?
cause it is....

We're going a bit off topic here. if you've got bedgebury news discuss it in the bedgebury forum, other wise this site will become very confusing to newbies and non regular users.

Well you'd have to ask jedi cos he told us that and he knows the claw so yeah. I wouldn't worry about it snapping cos you won't be doing 360's of massive roadgaps and stuff.
