No it doesn't, it shows that the guy riding it it a hack if it's bottoming out that much and/or it's set-up really really soft.

Big bikes at skateys are stupid.

Why would you ever ride a full suss dh rig at a skate park, especially with a full face???

Just plain stupid if you ask me :p

Whatever floats your boat. What ever happened to "run what ya brung"? I've ridden my dual suspension 4x bike at a skate park, I've also ridden my DH bike on a 4X track. It's all about having a good time and not giving a shit about what's the latest fad. This sounds like another version of "no MTBs at the DJs" or "no BMXs at the skate park" etc kind of crap. Who gives a shit what other crew are riding, as long as they ride respectfully good on them. At least they're riding and not sitting around bitching and thinking they're a face.

I can get air over the coping in the halfpipe on my stinky, and ill wear my fullface if you like. Yes i prefer my hardtail, but saying duelies in a skate park arnt welcome or is stupid is just "ignent" (ignorent). As for fullfaces, id rather a fullface than nothing which is what most of the kiddies wear where i come from

how can you have fun on a dually at a skate park, it will soak up ever bit of speed you get.

When it's the only bike you've got. I used to.

Full-face at the skatie does seem a bit of overkill though - if you all want to nitpick over photos from pinkbike we'll have threads popping up every 10 seconds.
Unfortunately half of those guys just won't know any better..It is pinkbike afterall :)

The guy in the pic Kirky has is getting raped by his tire...Bender Jnr?
IMHO so long as you're giving it a shot, who cares about the ride?
Admittedly, a DH rig isn't suited to a skatepark at all but maybe the rider is mucking around? Just a guess?
