and for the record i comprehend pretty good...ppl just don't want to take advice, and see the flaws in their **** (i know what ill do differently next time around, and i know my cage isn't the best design, so learn from my mistake)...post a video of dropping a cage from a parked 12 is different than dropping it on it's side w/ some momentum behind it...not just falling flat on it's side..drop that bit@h at an angle w/ a lil speed, and see how she holds up
