A mini DH tank it certainly was and for that it did work fine but after the amazing 1st generation Mega which was a bike that really could climb as well as it descended I found the 26 Mega AM a big disappointment.

Any rider safety issues mentioned? Or if you snap your neck do you still have to hope for some go-fund-me love and the generosity of friends/strangers? Red Bull has tons of cash to include a nice athlete insurance policy for this event and others like it....
