 Great way to justify the new UDH rear triangle, totally planned.

 I admire all of those trying to rid the trails of dead leaves with their faces but might it be easier to use a rake?

 What was #15’s plan? Either crash in the dirt or crash in the creek? I don’t see a line there at all.

 Huck to oblivion baby!

 Props to the #20 videographer. Instead of immediately pointing camera to the ground, he calmly zoomed in on the unfolding carnage.

 The intro crash on kong looks like a perfect example of someone looking at YouTube videos and saying “I can ride that” before sending it to the rear wheel and down a mountain lol.

Hope he’s alright!

 can we talk about the handlebar position on #21??? are those......UPSIDEDOWN????

 negative rise stem ....slammed XC bike

 @SATN-XC: I thought about that, but the bars actually drop if you look close enough. they arent flat bars with a neg. stem. it's like Upside down 10-15mm riser bars or something...lol

 looooool what will roadies think of next?
  • 3 2
 I run mine like that for long easy rides, not jumps though...

 @Mtbdialed: you got me to go back and look ..could be either but I'm leaning negative rise stem and flat bars since it is a Ghost hardtail. Though @overconfident 's setup seems right on

 Just went for a ride. Happy with how my fork feels. Used the travel but no harsh bottom out. No idea the settings or PSI or even if there are volume spacers.

 @VtVolk: just the rebound dial

 Is the truck OK?

 I filmed #1, i feel bad for letting him go first especially because i know i wouldn't have crashed on it. Rip isaac haha

 Dude. That guy ok? That honestly was the gnarliest one to me out of the bunch
  • 3 0
 @pdxjeremy: are you talking about the very very first one or the actual #1 because the #1 after the intro, he was fine.

 Watching these videos makes me feel better about dead sailoring my recumbent off my local rock drop. Orange flag survived FYI.
  • 1 0
 That sounds magical, is there a video?
  • 2 0
 My theory on 17; This was filmed on a Sunday, and he had something he really didn't want to do at work on Monday, so he 'crashed'.
  • 3 0
 #6, There are easier ways to growl with your dog.
  • 1 0
 Can anyone confirm if #6 is on the Three Blind Mice trail network?

 @PocoBoho: It's not.

 Friday fail rule: if you're most likely to crash, go at the back of the train, unless your friend has a handlebar cam
  • 2 0
 Also: If you have a handlebar cam, ride way too close, so that when your friend crashes, you crash too.

 Some heavy stuff today.
#17. Ewok tripwire?
  • 2 0
 Yeah man, what happened to him, seen it a bunch of times and can't figure out what happened. Perhaps squeeze front brake by mistake??

 one minute in.......... I sounded just like that last Feb. when I broke 4 ribs ...... the sound of compressed lung and gasping for air....hope all the riders are ayeet

 #29: the telemetry going from 37 kph right down to 3.kph says it all.

 It's not risky to go full-speed. The real risk is stopping suddenly.

 Why use brakes when big rocks will do, he had no chance.

 That Kong drop (first clip) has claimed many victims.
  • 2 0
 yes, that trail cashes a big check. beast of a trail and one I can't not cash out. Brave those who try Smile
  • 4 0
 Yes it has. We watched a lot of footage before taking it on. The other sections in the video look way more huge and exposed. This one didn’t until we rolled up to it in person. It’s the craziest part of the trail by far when you see the pitch and width of the landing in person. Most crash right here. My buddy fell victim too. I somehow slid through it. Creeped the drop and kept her straight. A little luck. Full vid here:

 #27 was lucky to fall where he did, the rest of the feature requires skill and commitment. Green Hill Bike Park.

 At least the bike landed near where he is. The growling was pretty intense, I had to put my headphones on!

 I filmed the King Kong crash. Rode it with my buddy during rampage weekend. He’s a more than capable rider he just went a little deep. You hear this all the time, but it’s truly so much bigger in person it’s sickening, and the landing is insanely narrow more than the video shows. Watch Nate Hills’ drone clips of it. There’s also a deep grooved out run underneath the powder that hooked him. Pro Matt Jones crashed in the same spot the day before. It’s a roll of the dice-kinda trail. Land and hope to slide into a workable posrion!? What a rush. He tweaked his back a bit but walked it off and rode it down. Mad man. Here’s the full video:
