Wish there was a close up of the rear suspension.  Interesting,not-sure-I-would-trust-it, seatpost clamp position.

Cool ! Great Mod (Potentially !)

What's the betting that the top of the seat tube sheared off and so he's had to clamp the post below?

I bet that bike's had a hard life!

I'm actually thinking that if he is using it for light freeride, the top of the seat clamp was cut to allow for a lower seat.

No way would I touch that bike without a good look for cracks.

Ummm, looks like a deep brace swinger to me only reduced in size all round to suit a push bike
