Michael Sommer: Darchor frame + Game of Skills
« on: February 25, 2010, 08:26:36 PM »
Here it is! A picture of the Darchor frame - Michael Sommer´s new signature Felt frame. We already mentioned it the other day.

And there are even more news from Michael. The poster of his contest Game of Skills was just published together with some more information: "The contest will be held indoors with the option of opening the sides of the venue. The competition will have a very special battleformat based on the idea of a game of skate adaption but there will be things involved that will only be possible in bmx flatland. More info and homepage with video explaination, interviews of riders, and much more coming soon!"

Not even. I wonder how long it is. At least 18.9 for the love of god.

reminds me of the blitz frame by deep. not necessarily in the construction so much as in the shape

I've looked at that picture with the naked eye, one eye open, both eyes closed, and through cheesecloth. Unless I take psychoactive drugs or get drunk, I really don't think I'm going to see what you're seeing here.

I agree there's no real resemblance that I can see with the Blitz.

Remember, grammar is the difference between "I helped my uncle Jack off a horse", and "I helped my uncle jack off a horse".

I just started getting into flatland stuff about 3 days ago and suck so far, I blame my sh*tty bike and lack of practice.

What I see is a "new frame" that has a bent tube just for the sake of not being double diamond or equal to any other already available (ok Colony's is pretty much alike).
