No it did, you can see the drive side seat stay is broken.An actual video where an ellsworth frame didnt break... Has to be fake.
That was pretty sick tho.
Great stuff!! Love hearing the story from back then.I was with Stik on it. He could have made it if he could have backed further up the hill but the crowd was packed in on him. I was above the tabletop thinking not enough speed. When he cased, we lost sight of him but his crank went sky high.

Who knows what happened to this guy? I remember his section in Chain Reaction (I think?) being pretty cool, but don't actually remember any race results or video parts beside that one.Ryan White pulling footless manuals from parking lot to volleyball court.
We were out jumping at Ste Anne at one of the WC at the back of the parking lot and Shaums sheared his seatpost off and gashed his chest pretty good. Dude kept riding. He was bad ass back then and is still one of the nicest guys around.Great stuff!! Love hearing the story from back then.
I remember that year at St-Anne Worlds Shaums pulling some crazy backwards nose manual on a grass slope. It was the most awsome thing I had ever seen on a bike by far. He then signed my backpack with the classic 51/50!
Must have been one of the O.G. guys to be rocking one of those back then!A Red Bull helmet?
Shaums is mos def OG in this DH/FR thing.Must have been one of the O.G. guys to be rocking one of those back then!
yes possible. its apparently pretty hard. instead of having feet on pedals you are sitting on saddle like doing a no footer, but riding a manual. takes jedi balance.What is a footless manual? Is that possible? It is like a prolonged superman?
Or are we talking footless wheelie?
The good old sand jump in the back of the parking lot! Classic indeed.We were out jumping at Ste Anne at one of the WC at the back of the parking lot and Shaums sheared his seatpost off and gashed his chest pretty good. Dude kept riding.

Farmer is the Mountain Cycle guy from FL.Sevens Spring!!!! Heard a lot about it from someone that was there. That was one of the Mountain Cycle guys from FL that was holding the broken crank. Can't remeber his name. Big surfer down ther that was always at our South East races with his crew.

Palmer did not start that food fightPalmer also started the food fight in Ste Anne and one of those guys rode a wheel chair down the hill into the pool, then shoved security into the pool if I remember correctly. I think the UCI even fined him?
