Now we went over to a drop that doesn't get used much any more , the Chick drop. Well Pete it it , and it sounded Horrible!!! But it looked good and he landed fine

But he snapped BOTH chainstays on his SX trail. Need less to say his day was done.

The same can be said of Frame twister it has a little more to it, then just a drop.
