ERROR: "and there was no way to camuflage a coil shock to have the same look as an air shock"

Please try to observ carefully the movie, it seams like he's riding a Team and not a WC (the air leg should have the top nobs higher, go to sram page to see what i mean). Companies are manipulating us very much with marketing stratergies. Do you really belive that top riders are using air forks instead of coil ones?! Do you think for a top rider an air fork will perform as good as a coil one?! Some years ago they tried air shocks (and are still trying) but they gave up because they don't perform as well (and there was no way to camuflage it to have the same look as a coil shock). But with forks it's easy to make a Team look like a World Cup. Air forks have a goos market place because of the weight freaks, that prefer light weight to top performance. And think, wich fork requires more maintainance? Air... More money to the company in maintainance parts...
