That's just out of a service from my LBS and was given a clean bill of health.

Nice neat wall.
Grass is a bit messy though.

That guy in the video didn't time his pre-jump too well, amateur.

The bike though... that involved a car at some point.

I've driven my bike into a height restrictor and it just came out of the roof rack with some slight damage to the front wheel. I'd bet a DH frame is stronger than the wheel/frame fixings on a bike carrier?

not made out of iron or plastic. i.e. accident waiting to happen

aahhhh the memories, happened to me about 20yrs ago whilst riding an orange prestige (remember them?) - had a dramatic momentum cancellation whilst going down alter lane in bingley (got pushed into a drainage ditch and big rock by riding companion)

the frame ended up folding itself at the points on the tubing where the internal butting occured ๐Ÿ˜ฏ looked identical to the OP's pic

I think keith lambert's still has a photo of it in his workshop!

odd thing was - only had to write off frame - forks, wheels etc all good and true!

He's just a nutcase I think..
I don't know why he bothered with a bike tbh, he might as well just chuck himself off a cliff!

I saw a vid when he landed something once. It came after 6 or 7 crashes that would have killed or maimed anyone else. I couldn't see the point at all.

Darren Baremuff' though, occassional crash but some sweet moves

Apparently a 30 foot gap and a 30 foot tree was involved

1) so you saved the pool house from the tree but the tree fell on your mates bike.. FAIL.
2) Tories did it.
3) Your LBS is financed as a PPI, or has offshored the servicing.
4) Road into inconsiderate dog eggs at trail centre.
5) Your a landlord and deserve all you get.
6) a RLJ hit you when you had right of way.
