Proflex action on youtube
« 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.

Coool!!! That video must be from 96-97? Not only cool, but the low resolution let my work computer play it. ;)

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

I don't think it can be later than 1995 as Jason McRoy died in '95 and he's in the video (or at least other parts of the video)... could it be a very early 956? Cool though isn't it?  8)

the rider in the dirt vid is dave hemming he also used to ride d/h in the uk with marin iirc.  have any of the other brits on here noticed the proflex on an advert for laser eye surgery doing a 4ft drop off? i think it might be ultralase.
an oz is for life , not just for xmas!

Is it the one splashing through the puddle? If so I thought it was a Proflex but could never be sure as it's only brief.

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>
