I like the way you can see the wheel flex as it digs in

His helmets flopping about all over the place before he even hits the ground too.

Vicar.

needs to practice suicide no handers a bit more

Why the hell did he let go of the bars? Seemed to be going ok up til that point!

Possibly due to not having lowered his saddle. Looks like he is too straight and rigid when the back wheel lands.
He has nowhere to go as the saddle is in the way. My simplistic take on it anyway.

Why the hell did he let go of the bars?

impress the laydeez

Why the hell did he let go of the bars?

I fancy he lost grip with his ‘skyhook’ pull-up, add that to near straight arms when the front came down and he’s lost it.

What gloves for not letting go of the bars?

As the landing wasn’t flat, the front of the bike dropped further than he could reach. Ripping bars out of hands. Like others say, too rigid, too straight. Not that I can talk.

Poetry in motion.

😀

Oof.
Skid marked!

Skillz

29er arse buzzing.

Is that chips of this parish?

It’s amazing how much momentum was in the bike – enough to grab a set of shorts and fling a full fledged adult through the air. Awesome.

As for why he let go of the bars, if you watch, the back wheel lands on a little angled ridge which launches the bike forwards, ripping it from his already locked arms. judging by the momentum described above, it must’ve been fairly fast.

What tyre is he using? Impressive level of traction that’s got as it tears another h….

I still can’t see why letting go would be the option.. Just bend forward and bend yer arms ya drongo!
Still, glad he did – I’ve watched it about 20 times and laugh every time 😆

Impressive level of traction

I think you mean grip…

Chapeau to whoever is filming too.
Didn’t think for one minute of stopping to help, just stay focused!!

bzzzzzzzzzzzzzroomph

Had it’s uses, though:

I think he styled it out 😂

Was the bike ok?

I think you mean grip…

No, no. I meant traction. 😉
