FROM STATE BICYCLES: (Our) newest video features Addison Zawada – the Pro, fixed-gear, Red Bull and State athlete ripping the hills of Los Angeles on State’s Thunderbird Gravel/Cyclocross bike with amazing control. “Wrong Bike, Right Lines” highlights that a cyclocross bike is more than a one trick pony, and the Thunderbird and Zawada aren’t out there for show.

Addison Zawada rides dirt jumps, smoothly hits the line, and even throws in a backflip all on State’s Thunderbird CX – staying true to the title, “Wrong Bike, Right Lines” by nailing all the moves you’d think weren’t possible on a cyclocross bike. The Thunderbird boasts the versatility and power any SSCX rider needs: it has a light 6061 Aluminum frameset, an agile geometry, disc brakes, rad custom-graphics by Johnny Hsu, and some of the most trusted components in Cross.

Anyone know where specifically this is at?

And, it would be more impressive to win a CX race on a dirt jumper.

Are mountain bikes certified to higher impact standards than road bikes?

Not sure, but hitting a smooth jump line will be magnitudes less jarring than running miles of cobbles at 20 mph.

In fact – bunny hopping a CX barrier, or going down some waterbars will probably be harsher on your frame than anything in this video. Landing properly on a properly design jump is extremely smooth (and very satisfying)

Seriously. That left me annoyed for the rest of the video.
