eeeaaoowwwww. that was gnarly as hell. the way he was riding the trail before made me think he would've hit the jump no problem.
 
His line was real sick, when he rolled over to that jump I flipped out, then he ate shit (didnt see it coming, didnt realize was I was watching) fucked up. Cant believe he only bruised his heels, lucky guy.
 
biker math: well let's see, this jump kicks you 20 feet up and 60 feet out.... according to my calculations, the landing should be... 4 feet long? yeah, that sounds good

make the knuckle completely flat and toss some rocks in the landing and we're good to go dog
 
more like 20x80 from lip to knuck... and the landing was actually massive this year. It was half that size back in '08.

was so bummed when he didnt compete in finals, i was really hoping for him to flip it.
 
He was scared. I think he started to go nose heavy and ditched because crashing on a bike from 30ft up would be much more dangerous than falling with no bike.
 
this.

Worst feeling ever going over a jump and feeling your nose just fall out from under you. Hate it when it happens.
 
Uhhhh... he was committed. Do you have ANY idea what the drop in to the canyon gap looks like?!

Cam OVERSHOT and landed FLAT. Bailing and trying to roll it out was probably a way better idea than landing to flat on his bike, blowing out tires, taco'ing rims and compressing his spine and god knows what else. Look at the drop in. How do you NOT commit to that line?!

QUSETION: Is this for the love of biking ? Or are some people just fucked in the head ? Most people love biking through fields of wildflowers and city streets.
 
ive mt biked some crazy shit that was pretty steep, but that picture above says it all. if anyone has ever rode a bike down a trail thats anything close to that steep, you can understand how much commitment it really takes.
 
gotta be so much fun (i mean the first part) when youre that good. helmet cams always skew the angles, but that looked ... WAIT FOR IT....

FUCKING RADICAL

(cant get over that quote from the deer-longboarder video)
 
holy drop in batman, the crash was up there with 'epic shit eatings', joe's big fall and that dude who broke his ankles on that gap near alta. but nowhere near dumont's little fall

he went higher than felix did though I guess
 
coming from someone who is completely unfamiliar with mountain biking as a sport, holy shit. that whole line was gnarly, did not realize that shit was even possible on a bike
