Eastern and Shadow are both highly intellengent companies, with years of product development under their belts. Be patient with developing parts and leave copycat questions out of it.Posted at 6:23 p.m. on April 25, 2009

i used to ride nothen but fly frame's. then i got this cheep colony frame here in iraq. i went from a 11.75 to 11.50. the lower BB was way harded to get used to. manual's, hop's, you name it, and it was hard to do. but after a good 5months of rideing it everyday. i never wanna go back to a higher BB. tricks like table tops and turn-downs are so much easer. Now back to this bike check. This frame Karl is rideing, isnt even out yet. and it may have a higher BB. (for your options!!) his last frame with eastern was the Reaper! this looks way diffrent. plus, how can you tell if this new frame he has is the same low BB hight as the other "EB" frame. Anyways, if you dont like it, why dont you just go somewhere else, and pay 500$$ and not get the customer service you would get at "EB" But as for me. when I get back to the states. I cant wait to get into an eastern frame! (Grim Reaper W/a 11.50BB) Plus, all of this negative comments and idea's you kids are comeing up with is crap. untill your shredding up the steets of your hometown as good as this guy. Or even riding on a team as big as Eastern! You should'nt be saying things like "he needs new grips" that frame is funny. look at that hub. this bike check is awsome! What a great idea to have up on the sight befor the video comes out! I can't wait!Posted at 8:24 a.m. on May 4, 2009
