Title: Proflex action on youtube
Post by: orange on February 06, 2008, 02:31:39 am: This is the now legendary DIRT video featuring Jason McRoy and others. bNever seen it before till recently. This is part 2. Skip to 7'20" and you will find some great Proflex ?756 action.

Actually that is a 956 with sponges front and rear. How can I tell? The bike is shiny. ;D

Post by: orange on February 07, 2008, 02:58:14 pm: is it this one? On the home page it runs the video - the bike's right at the end.

Naaahhhhh, summint don't seem right about that bike to be a PRO~FLEX..........Is it a strut bike? I think I can see a strut, but the frame looks a bit more "EVO" stylie, but even then not quite right..........Can't see the pivot to be sure.......is it maybe a Maverick ML7/8 ?????...............just to keep the discussion on the boil....................<GRIN>
