UBI certified advanced suspension seminar day 2

Today we focused on suspension tuning and set-up. We learned how to set and measure sag and we also overhauled more forks. Later we discussed shock oils and how to properly offer suspension services in the shop(your welcome customers). We overhauled a few forks including a Rock Shox Sid World Cup, Rock Shox Boxxer, Manitou Drake etc. Tomorrow is my final day of class at UBI and I'm definitely ready to go home.
Pictured above is the new Santa Cruz V10 carbon. Its pretty cool to finally see a carbon downhill frame (at least the front triangle). This frame isn't available to the public yet but one of our instructors Nathan Riddle (nathanriddle.com) is a pro downhill racer and got a few Santa Cruz frames shipped to him today.
