Frames or parts under high stress may fail, causing you to lose control or fall. Because of the risk involved, Specialized recommends that you conduct a thorough inspection before each ride. If you miss a jump, ditch your bike in mid crash, dump or launch your bike without you on it, inspect yourself for injury, then carefully inspect your bicycle for damage.

Specialized does not warrant the bicycle frame or components for such activities, and expressly disclaims all warranties, including the warranty of fitness for particular purpose and merchantability.
Your bicycle has been engineered and tested with specific components and parts. Because of the great variety in these items, it is impossible for Specialized to test and approve of all possible combinations. Modifying the frame, fork, or any of the components may make your bike unsafe.

USEFUL PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE Every Specialized bicycle and frameset has a useful product life cycle. The length of that useful product life cycle will vary with the construction and materials of the bicycle or frameset, the maintenance and care the bicycle or frameset receives over its useful product life cycle, and the type and amount of use the bicycle or frameset is subject to. Uses in competitive events, trick riding, ramp riding, jumping, aggressive riding, riding on severe terrain, riding in severe climates, riding with heavy loads, commercial activities and other types of non-standard use can dramatically shorten the useful product life cycle of a Specialized bicycle or frameset.
