I love it! Very technical line. He was having a somewhat sketchy time and he knew it. He got sucked forward off the drop up top and landed pretty far right on the big drop. But the man knows how to hold it together! Such a talented rider/ amazing run.
The title of the video is written in the porn format, "Rampage Vet/ Sexy Milf || Kyle Strait/ Lisa Ann || charges down/rides || Steep exposed line/ hot exhibisionist girl || Gopro view/ POV"
I would say it´s a good trick for avoiding wind consequences... Think about it.. if you let go one hand let the wind spin your bike but not your body and unbalance you... There is also the french version I saw once which is to push your bars sideways multiple times and fast...
This rampage I was for the first time really impressed by Kyle Strait. Way to go man. Such a sick run. Second run was a winning run, sad he washed out!
@garrettstories: Maybe I'm not following mountain biking long enough. Don't get me wrong, I always thought he was a talented and fluid rider, but so far he never impressed me.
yeah, the exposure to the left is full on. Even at the very start when he looks down to the floor it looks like he could just topple to his death to the back or left of the start platform. It's like a mix between alpine climbing and biking.
What's up with his front tire at the end? It looks totally bent. Is that distortion from the pov camera or is did that wheel just get completely smashed?
