First drop, cage bent
So it was my 3rd time stunting today, and i went over bp too quick and the bike just ran away from me, resulting in a pretty good pancake. The slider flew away of course, and cage is bent. So I guess SI cages aren't that good after all, and the warranty doesn't even cover bends. I'll know better next time and just build my own cage, or get a tigersharks which is fully covered by the warranty

Yeah man sucks big time, i got that cage because everyone says only good stuff about them, i guess i am just unlucky. Next time i'll just go with something much beefier and stronger.

Well for the price that i paid i expect it to be either undestructable or have a very good warranty, and apparantly sick innovations has none of that

You said yourself you had a pretty good pancake. I have ran sick cages for years with no problems at all. If the cage is to strong you will just break your motor mount or your block. Stop chucking your bike nothing is indestructible

Dude it was the first time i dropped it! Plus it wasn't any faster than 3-4mph, im sure the cheapest cage out there would've done a better job

Haha if that's what you think then buy something different. Every crash is different the bike will probably never hit the same way again. I have been stunting for 10 years and just when you think you have seen it all you will see something happen for the first time. Buy a FI cage they are the most expensive so they must be the best correct

I have a tigershark cage on my f4i the cage is lifetime warrenty, absorbs impact pretty well, Above posters are probably right your bike probably just fell the wrong way **** happens, its hard to put amazing warrenty on somthing that was made to be wrecked, it saved your bike thats whats important.
