    Already put a small flat spot on the rear :-( Wish i had yellow DeeMax though but silver isn't the worst i suppose
    Might get a set of superstars for everyday and just leave the DeeMax for racing

    Apparently there are only 2 2013 DHX frames in the country, the old ones look typical of eastern European design (See Lada). They really do seem to have gotten their act together and after tweeking last years geometry a little they look to have got it right, a mate rode for them last year and had input into the updated frame and says they basically took the angles of the V10 and Demo with the shock platform of the Supreme and came up with this.

    On the 4 outings it's had i've pretty much got the thing dialed in and on Sunday at Hopton Woods it was safe to say it's the fastest i've ever been on a rooty greasy track, took around 10 seconds off my fastest time at Farmer Johns on saturday when it didn't even feel like i was trying. Big step up from my Scott Voltage that's for sure 8)

    Oops! But,


    Geographically, the West of Russia is in Europe but the East is in Asia.
    However, Russia is classified as a European nation because:
    It was established in Europe (before it expanded into Asia)
    Its culture is Eastern European
    Its history is closer to Europe's than Asia's (for example, it has had more interactions with other European countries, rather than Asian countries)
    Russian people are Slavic, generally speaking, and NOT AT ALL "Asiatic", in racial background.


    Wikipedia quoting done ;)

    Oh, it must be true, if it's on Wrongipedia, lol...

    Russia's not part of Europe, as Bonaparte found out to his cost, lol.
