It means that it can leap off of tall buildings/cliffs and not break.

Danny MacAskill's free riding video was a bit of a youtube sensation not too long ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cj6ho1-G6tw

Semantics, but that's more "trials" riding--or "urban freeride". An off-road freeride bike is almost like a moto-x bike without the motor. Huge suspension travel designed mostly for downhill hucking. Trials is more low-speed obstacle-tackling, although now they're throwing hucking into the equation. As I said--semantics.

As for those Diamondbacks--SWEET. ACS rotors on them are PIMP.

Man, this topic got me inpsired to go out and ride today haha you older guys, let me baste in your knowledge

I remember riding one as a kid. It wasn't mine, I was stuck with a chain store Huffy that I straight rode the wheels off of. I actually completely forgot about that bike until about a year ago, and then the hunt was on. All I knew was it was a pink diamondback with a white saddle. The Mike Dominguez seems to be the best I can find.... i'm still trying to track down what the saddle was.

Just needs a basket and handlebar streamers.
