Looks like the gimbal (I'm assuming you're using one for stabilising) is getting thrown around by forces from the trail features. Does it have any adjustability with its sensitivity/overload cutout?

I've never done a backflip and can honestly say I never will (at least intentionally!), but some instinct in me says that ramp may not have enough upward lift? Also some foam mats on the lander might not be a bad plan while you're getting the timing dialed. Kudos for trying though! You're braver than me.

Not sure how scientific / objective this is, but interesting.
I didn't expect the after-market brands to be at the lower end of the results.
I'm a bit suss about the 2 big names....do they "buy" reviews ?

I was also going to post that vid - I think it was well researched & presented.

I have no doubt that the top 2 preform better, but I think a little bit is missing, mrp is the lightest fork I don't think you buy the lightest fork you can and expect it to track as well as the bigger stiffer forks, also would have been good to see a longer term test as marzzochi generally need less upkeep then the rock shock and fox
apart from that was good video really would have been a wicked day riding and testing all the new gear
