 I think he should take on ski jumping.

 Is there a post crash interview where he explains wtf the little pumping mid-air was going to do? or was that his natural fear response to "I'm going to eat shit...hard"?

 Who's tuning in tomorrow to to see if he lands it on Saturday Sends?

 Looked like if he didn't panic he might have been able to land that.

 @DirtBagTim: was going to say - even if he didn't land it, he needs to be on Sat sends, that was HUGE! I'm guessing he went way bigger than he wanted, no way he's landing that if he's going that big.

 Hugging a tree increases levels of hormone oxytocin. This hormone is responsible for feeling calm and emotional bonding. When hugging a tree, the hormones serotonin and dopamine make you feel happier. I guess so.

 2:33 - What was that jump made out of? An upright piano and a rotten pallet?

Similar to Thrasher's "worst skateparks" series, PB should put together a compilation of horribly constructed jumps and trail features.

 FF should be required viewing for aspiring trail builders. For instance, why put a roller immediately after a landing, so many examples of what not to do.

Also, how did the film my reoccurring nightmare and post it as the first clip? (Even though he crashed, that was still freaking rad)

 These videos represent the best of us. A bunch of nerds going full send in the woods with zero F's given. And that opening send was the thing of nightmares. Stuck up in the air falling with no bottom in sight. Absolutely insane!

 1:43 really hope this yellow lab vs mud puddle that was cut makes the Saturday Sends!

 Pretty sure they edited out the part where doggo runs over licks the riders face. "Oh boy, this is my favorite thing, I love mud and I'm glad you do too." Then they both get out of the puddle and doggo shakes himself off on rider and camera man. It's good to be a dog!

 That lad shredding through the snow is 100% a send. So sick! And the last slo-mo one is a great example of what happens when you spin too early on a 3.

 2:36 is the opening drop to the Boyscout jumps in Pacifica. It's probably about a 5-8 foot drop depending on how far you send it, and has a pretty flat lander. Looks like the dude sent it on a hard tail with locked knees and racked himself, poor dude, also that is some poison oak he landed in. Anyways, that's a super fun jump trail, there is a POV video of it in my profile.
  • 1 0
 I don’t recall the gap, so why was opener dude going full on peddling. Falling from space was awesome. Longest jump landing area ever. There were no trees on the whole hill side, so he probably could have held on and road it out. Love it!

Agree, why all the front brakes this week?

 Opening seen looks like if he stayed on he bike he just might have pulled it off...way off...

 I think we have established that a high seat post is not a part of a successful recipe for a landing from a jump of any kind.

 Good news people. We've brought in a special group of riders that have an uncanny skill for identifying which trees need safety padding for our course. Okay boys, go mark the trees for us, but make sure it's obvious!

 These were some of the best yet as a group. I love that they weren't moving very fast and just getting worked. Sprinkle in some tree faceplants and it's a winner.
