Thx.

Out of the frame, like most of the rest of the world. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there.wysiwyg said:and where the hell is the run out?
Yup, it's called a "drop".wysiwyg said:and finally the rock face slopes away from the vertical in a negative direction, surely he's jus gonna be a freefalling mofo at that point...
CHOP said:I remember seeing that and still have a hard time believing that it is real. Never seen any proof that it is real, although I have heard there is proof out there. Why hasn't it (or maybe I missed that also) showed up in a video or something. If this dude did it back in 99' then I am certain one of today's riders could pull it off.
That's what I remember, it was for an april fool's issue joke.xy9ine said:i seem to recall them coming out that he was cabled in; note the conveniant placement of the logo @ his butt - they didnt evan have to do any photochopping.
Looking at the direction of the trees growing up, and the way the guy is standing at the bottom, it looks to be a legit camera angle. But what it that guy's right foot doing?Sandwich said:speaking of camera angle, has anyone tilted a camera so things look steeper? BMA does that A LOT. in this case the trees are hard to tell (they always grow up, but these are bushes), and that tard in the background may be standing sideways on purpose. Just a theory, but he may be riding something that is bike path flat...

Yep there was a multi-frame shot of that floating around showing him land it.Brian HCM#1 said:I remember read a few issues after that someone wrote in asking if it was real or fake, MBA confirmed it was real.
I remember the opposite! Ha ha. I thought they said that that picture was staged, but that the rider did drop it somewhere else. I know I remember him hitting and I think crashing off of it, but from a different spot.Brian HCM#1 said:I remember read a few issues after that someone wrote in asking if it was real or fake, MBA confirmed it was real.
Mongoose.Kornphlake said:I don't remember ever seeing that picture, it does look like some of the stuff that freeriders would huck, I can't tell what bike the guy is riding though. It doesn't look like it's rootbeer colored and unless my monitor's color is way out of whack those aren't green doublewides.
But you don't see him rollin' in like that either, do you?Eigil said:You see Bender try 60+ feet, but don't believe this?
I thought it was a shootout between Rocky Mountain, Intense, Iron Horse, etc.Loopie said:But you don't see him rollin' in like that either, do you?
I have a review of the Mongoose in the same mag...lol...but for the life of me, it won't upload to photobucket.
