Your logic is flawed. Vimeo is fine, its your proxy that sucks.

 

[mattmatt86]

[FCLinder]

Would love to hit those jumps!!!!

 

[kOlsen]

That looks like fun!

 

[jnooth]

[rigidhack]

Yep. Those are big jumps.

Fairclough, and Vanderham will both be there...get your seats cause those two will be killing it!!

 

[BigHitComp04]

I cant see how anyone can beat Vanderham's moto whips. He gets completely sideways! I remember there was a shot from The Collective maybe? of him doing a SICK whip out in Utah, i had to rewatch it a couple times.

 

[TWeerts]

small

 

[TheTruth]

The jumps are gnar. Griz is gnar. Yuroshek is gnar for posting this.

 

[DHJUNKIE]

sooo let me get this straight.. there is a jump comp on these but just from a bunch of downhillers not dj'ers right? vanderham hands dowwwwn for moto whiping.

I feel like if brendan semenuk showed up, it would totally ruin it. He would 360 something and it would be gay. But JD swag is an exception because he also DJ's, but he has mad whips.

 

[DHJUNKIE]

yeah i do like the trickerly but mega whips/style is awesome to watch

 

[cecil]

im not into the flippy mctwist action big air

 

[CountryBoy]

Going to be one sick comp. They should have a scrub category too.

So, let me get this straight.. there is a competition someone is putting on, fun and tricks will be had and you are bitching about it?

 

[boogenman]

Is that a socal LLbean commercial?

 

[bizutch]

anybody besides me think those are kinda small for pros to throw whips on?

I mean, if I look at a jump and think it's doable by me...it's not that huge. Whips need time too air marinate.....

50 foot is tiny i know right.

 

[stiksandstones]

I live in BFE, and I just saw this thing is 120 miles one way from ME. Dang, gonna be some drivin' that day.

If those are small than what is big? I've seen a lot of big jumps and only a few times have I actually seen a "peak to peak" double for mtb's anywhere around 40 feet long. Those are big.

 

[demo 9]

Anyobdy else think that they should be more "poppy" and "steep" It might just be the BMXer in me but i always throw my better whips on a more poppy jump where i can dive into the landing.

 

[4130biker]

I don't disagree that it may be easier to whip a lippy bmx type jump, but usually dh jumps are more about speed, and less about pop. For this comp it makes sense. Also, 50 feet is huuuuge! I want to see pics of Bizutch hittin' some nasty (40'+) dubs!!!

 

[Transcend]

Does anyone really think they have a chance against brendog? He's gonna get backwards and upside down.

Pics or STFU. Do you always need to big-note yourself every time you see footage of someone doing something impressive on the internet?


Anyway, the jumps look sick. This is just a whip competition yeah? Can't wait to see the footage!

 

[igz-]

they ****ed up that first lip....

hopefully that gets fixed hahahah

If you'd like to dig through the forums and post some evidence of that, go right ahead. I may be a jerk, but I don't ever pretend I'm a big shot at all. I laugh at me more than anybody does. You've been wound high and tight for a while bro. Decompress.

These are the only really big stuff I've hit on the DH bike in the last few years. Keep in mind, I'm 37 and if 40 feet is a race run jump for me, 50 feet is a mere scrub for 20 year old pro. I'm not even a good jumper.

I'd think they would be hitting jumps like the ones at the Nationals, with lots of float time and boost. Maybe it's the landscape or the camera angle, but that first jump looks like just a speed run in. The guy that cases it coasted all the way.

Here's the only pic evidence of me jumping things an old man shouldn't.

 

[jonKranked]

Bizutch, I have a micrometer if you guys wanna whip yer dicks out to measure. I think there's even a digital one in the lab so your old eyes can read it

It is a speed check afterall.

Anyway, some whippage for comparison.

Vanderham:

Fairclough:

Minnaar (if he shows?):

Couldn't find any good ones of Strait, but I'm sure they exist

 

[Nick]

I'll be there the following week for the "50/50 Deadest Sailor" contest.

Wish me luck!!

 

[stiksandstones]

Some really sh1tty footage I shot of Fairclough, in whistler. This is when I first got a video cam and first stab at final cut, so I did not know what the f I was doing, but you can still see him throw a few whips.
slowmo fail on Vimeo

 

[kidwoo]

Fairclough does kickouts

 

[demo 9]

should be noted, that fairclough rides sh!tfooted, so his body positioning keep him at a disadvantage, note that a 90 for Vanderham is 45 degrees feet position where as fairclough is 135. I am **** footed and as unimportant as it is, at this level will it play a factor?

What the hell are you babbling about................



You know bikes can go out to either side regardless of your stance right?
