Man, I thought I'd actually have a good debate here... but that's not possible if you're just gonna be ignorant about it. There is no FS slopestyle frame laterally stiffer than the Le Pink. The Le Pink runs on four r12 bearings at the main pivot. You likely don't know what this actually means, as you've clearly never ridden one, but it means it's really stiff. Your ticket frame may cost almost a grand, but it's certainly not WORTH that much. I never made any assumptions about what you ride. You ride a poorly constructed slope bike and an overpriced jump bike... and you don't seem to be getting much use out of either. And as for everyone caring less, this is a conversation between you and me... and you seem very intent on its outcome. I'm not gonna tell you to stop responding, as I am rather enjoying this... so lets see what ya got!

You realize that the same forces are exerted on the main pivot point of any suspension linkage, just the dobermann's are twice the size, and thus twice as capable of containing the forces? Did you assume that just because FSR has an extra pivot near the dropout that torsional forces from spins and whips are magically deflected from the BB area? Aesthetics are in the eye of the beholder, wouldn't you agree? Just because a simpleton can't appreciate a work of art (or afford it) doesn't detract from it's worthiness as such, the same way that said simpletons lack of joke comprehension is not enough to strip the vestiges of humour from a rather witty pun. (Baaazing!)

sorry, crappy joke.
