Frame snapping goodness (video) 1 Year ago Karma: 8  
This is why you NEVER ride a cracked ­frame­...

I knew the ­frame­ was cracked but thought that i would just bend it appart... its funny cause i knew/ know aluminum is brittle and would just snap, but for some reason i convinced myself that it wouldnt. As extra measure just incase i disconnected all cables so if it did snap i could hopefully jump over the bars...
I then procceded to case the jump repeatedly untill it happened, took 4 or 5 trys the first bunch were rear wheel cases and then the last (obviously) was a massive bottom bracket case, i really pushed on the bars to spread the ­frame­ appart and had no chance of bailing.
FYI the ­frame­ was a 03 Rocky Mountain Grind.
This was filmed in Hamilton a couple summers ago.
Enjoy.
