    He used to ride a Karpiel, but I seem to remember he signed a new contract for someone. If you go on pinkbike, there's a million and one threads related to him! Including one where some kid said he was going to do the drop that bender broke his back on. Jah drop or something.

    Bender has been riding for Ellsworth for nearly 2 years, and currently has several Ellsworth bikes including a Moment, Rogue and Dare

    he's still riding hard, and sending it big

    he broke his back on a drop in Utah, that he had done many times before, but it went wrong and he got hurt

    he was soon up and riding again, a tough dude for sure ;)
