    All in all, Shadow makes some pretty good products Thats why i run so much of there stuff. I just think the image and ad designs are pretty juvenile. I feel the same about Subrosa, great products, but weak ad’s.

    could be because most of the riders these days are equally as juvenile. read any of the comments on any BMX forum/web site in the past couple years? those are being written by the same people buying Shadow Conspiracy parts.

    What a fucking tool! “Of you want to save your teeth, buy a Shadow chain?!” Fuck you Bonner, how about you pay for my knee surgery, since it was your oh so wonderful chain that snapped sending me off an 8 foot drop, or maybe you should at least not be a dick and warranty your stems when YOU include the wrong length bolts with them.. or how about making sprockets with teeth that don’t sheer off, pegs that don’t dent or snap, hell.. MAKE SOMETHING DECENT AT LEAST!

    Oh wait.. you did, you made a Q-Lite based cassette, covering all the options.. BUT THEN YOU CLAIMED IT WAS YOUR DESIGN AND NOT Q-LITES, THEN CHANGED THE HUB TO ANOTHER TRASH DESIGN!

    Get the fuck out of BMX you cheap goon.
