Or what if you case so hard it goes a real big BOOM and makes a avalanche on your head?
That would kill you pretty dead, too.

easier?Transcend said:
Go ride a snowboard off a 200 ft jump and you will see what i mean. MUCH harder to stay level in the air. A bike will almost do that on its own due to the gyroscopic force from it's wheels.BKQuill said:easier?
When you hit a jump on a snowboard, it want sto throw you on your head...forcefully. It is also harder to stay level throughout the flight (that is one hell fo a long one too) you have to start to roll down the widonws to keep from going onto your head. Trust me, the snowboard jump is probably way way harder at that distance.
well duh.Toshi said:that's why you always do a flip when jumping distance on snowboards, sheesh

I'm still wondering how snow can kill you easier then snow myself.
You said that snow can kill you easier then dirt, it has nothing to to do with snowboarding. I'm not questioning that jumping a snowboard is, or is not, harder then jumping a bike. But I would like to hear how snow can kill you easier then dirt given the same cirumstances.Transcend said:
dude it's so obvious. snow is cold. so not only do u hit it but u could get a pneumonia after hitting it. in doing so, you could drown in your own mucus because of that or when the rescue team comes to help a freak accident could happen melting all the snow causing a ridiculous flood drowning you that or...or like someone else said, perhaps even an avalanche. god help you if the abominable snowman shows up...that's when you know sh!t really hit the fan. snow is so much more dangerous to land on than dirt. just look at all those variables you have to consider.BKQuill said:
i need another beer
and yes i understand it is tougher to jump a snowboard
in the icy-east we dont even have snow, it's all ice. Sure it sounds refreshing but it's actually harder than concrete....
but when we are talking about 100+ distances with the speeds involved, the margins can get pretty slim for everyone anyways so no use arguing

I'm going for 250 feet on my disc sled this year, sponsored by slimfast. It's gonna be off the hook.

Did anyone discuss this already in this thread? about how Rennie has always dissed the freeriders? I would say Rennie is probably the biggest freerider opponent...he has actually always made excellent points to for his feelings. But, Does this jump not constitute some freehucking category placement? and possible Hypocrisy? just a thought.
I wouldnt know about that since Ive only seen him a couple of times.stiksandstones said:
But he doesnt strike me as a guy who would say that.
Specially since hes a damn good street, dirt whatever rider and not just a racer...
But yeah if thats what his statement has been then he is definitly a hypocrite.
Im not gonna take your word on it though since I dont know you either and you didnt really make a good impression on me by calling me a "goon".
No hard feelings though.
Cheers
I am pretty sure it was Dirt magazine interview he dissed the freehuckers pretty bad...as well as when I have spoke with him in person...I tend to agree with him on his points in this matter, but that is besides the point.Kevin said:I wouldnt know about that since Ive only seen him a couple of times.

I think you're taking his statements out of context. I've heard him say that it's basically all riding to him and he thinks categorizing riding is lame. He's got mad skills no matter how you look at it.stiksandstones said:
He does have insanely mad skills, the things I have seen him do on a bicycle warrant a god like status. I just think this ramp jump thing is comparable to the stuff he has made fun of (jumping off cliffs)...and that is all I am trying to say. At any rate, mission accomplished by him and his Santa Cruz media engine-there is a 5 page thread here and there will be news coverage of this...my whole initial point was I wish he was getting press for winning downhills, not jumping box jumps.Dogboy said:
I think he knocks freeriders and freeriding as specifics. Not the performance of hucks and jumps but the lack of other skills involved when people only huck and jump. While slightly inclusive, they are exclusive of each other. I find, for the most part, what he says makes sense, even though I don't race. I have ridden with a couple of guys signifigantly faster than me on a-line and much better at jumping with styleee (as they call it). I brought them on a rubber side down techy trail and they couldn't remotely keep up. Their skills were pure bmx. Good riders but they hated every second of my trails. Oh and I am slow...stiksandstones said:
while not the norm I think this is similar to what he is refering to.

Gotta bring in some cash to PAY Peaty sounds like.It's a shame what The Man makes you do when he owns you.Rennies gotta feel really low ,doing that just to bring somebody in to take his job.It's soo corporate.stiksandstones said:
Oh is that why?SCARY said:
It's the man's fault...:mumble:
as to how snow can easier to get hurt on, if you land head-first at the right angle your head will actually dig in and your body will keep on moving past you. it's a lot easier to break your neck. if you hit it at the same angle on dirt, your head will just keep on sliding.
That's what I was thinking. On dirt, it's just a sudden hit, but with snow any part of you can dig in and get twisted the wrong way.revmonkey said:
121 feet and he separated his shoulder.......
has some details on hi site.....is this ol news ??
has some details on hi site.....is this ol news ??
yes..
the fact that the current world record is held by a 20" is pretty sad. Now Rennie can finally back up his **** when he was saying that mountain bikes can jump very far and very high.
meh, i could crash if i was towed in at 97kph..and claim an unofficial record.
Great,who's gonna pay for Peat now?!------Did Rennie use radial-laced carbon spoke cross-maxx's for wheels or what?
