[Closed] Well after all, plastic bikes aren't that breakable 😉

I think the key to not wrecking this bike is that he is such a smooth rider.He even lands gently

Thats pretty impressive stuff!

Being a Bristol local i can tell you that the rock slab is VERY steep and the bridge he ride along the top of has a massive drop into the river Avon!

has the bars tilted really far forward, the ends of them are pointing upwards! Makes it easier for the hops and stuff i guess.

Take it the search button isn't working then??

🙄

Well I kinda figure it out teeto, but what to search for?

+1 for that slab being really steep!!

Searh for:

The other 2 threads on this...

It also tells us nothing about the use of Carbon in bikes

Carbon is very strong under the loads its designed to take (like in this video). The forces are all directed through the structure in the intended direction

The question mark is about non design loads like rock strikes and crashes

I'm not saying there is a problem with carbon bikes. I'm saying this video doesn't move the debate on.

The other threads that posted this about a week ago..

I think Juan meant what key words in the title. I spend far too much time here and I'd not seen it before. I'm seriously impressed by someone backflipping a road bike!

I'm not sure the title was really a reference to the carbon debate, more an eye catcher. Which seems to have worked as I didn't ping this the previous two occasions it was posted!

Yes I meant what keyword. And yes the title wasn't a debate over whether or not carbon is fit for mtb. On that respect there is two possibilities.
You've got a PhD or a master or you are an engineer in the relevant field and you make your mind accordingly. Or you just do some STW occus poccus with obscure wiki links, crap analogy to F1 and such and make your mind accordingly 😀

awesome video, thanks for the link!

to my shame, i don't think i've ever tried wheelie-ing my road bike...
