Is he gonna make it or spanner himself beyond redemtion. Its at least 5pm over there, so he may have done it already...
Bender has nowhere near the resume that rennie has. Nor the skill at handling a bicycle.Slugman said:Had this been Bender (with the same results) just imagine all the negative comments...
Immagine how many pinkbike feet that ispreppie said:Damn, 121 feet to flat.
Droping 100 vertical feet is quite a bit different. Although I don't doubt that Rennie had quite a forcefull landing, Its nowhere near that which Bender will feel if he does the 100 footer.BigMike said:Anyone else think its funny that when Rennie does a 121' gap, people on here are all about it, but when Bender talks about a 100' drop, everyone bashes him
Really, me and my brother were at Snowmass one day this summer, during the week, and Bender was the only other person out there in a DH bike throwing giant "nothings" over the big double at the end of the 4x track. He didnt look very "side show" to me. i think you read pinkbike/ internet too much.RATM said:That's b/c Bender rides for ****. Rennie can jump, DH, 4X, and Huck 20 time better then Bender. One's a circus side show, and the other is a seasoned professional, theres a big difference. I can try a 100 ft huck with the exact same results as Bender. Just b/c he's stupid enough to try it does not mean that he should get credit for being a good rider.
And yet he still didn't make it...kidwoo said:Bender has nowhere near the resume that rennie has. Nor the skill at handling a bicycle.
I would have expected him to make it too... since he was only going 5 feet further than what some dude did on a BMX bike.kidwoo said:I'd actually "expect" rennie to make it.
This is true. But when some belligerent drunk up and challanges him to prove it, he can't whip out the Guinness Book and show the guy. So he's gonna have to pound the rest of his beer, set up some ramps and have Bubba in a pickup truck do a tow-in. Of course, Bubba is drunk too, and spies Sarah-Jane bending over to pick up her can of dip, whereupon he he forgets that he's got Rennie-on-a-Rope (anyone remember Soap on a Rope?) behind him. He proceeds to stop the truck, hoping to get in a little dipping action of his own (if you know what I mean), and Rennie goes careening past him at sixty miles per hour (or Fosters-per-wallabe, which is what they use for measuring speed in Australia). Of course, who wears their DOT-approved Troy Lee helmet when they're at the bar? So Rennie ends up dead, his legacy reduced to a bloody smear on the side of the bar, and Bubba strikes out.kidwoo said:He still gets bragging rights when he's sitting around the pub slugging beer..........which is really all that matters.
Sluggy... you're right about that...Slugman said:Had this been Bender (with the same results) just imagine all the negative comments...
Funny, he crashed too.amydalayna said:i still think watson clearing the tour is the most creative jump out there.
True.Slugman said:And yet he still didn't make it...

That the same people who knock Bender for his stuff, based on him crashing all the time, are waiting in line to praise Rennie when he tried something even when the results are the same.kidwoo said:True.
Rennie suxxors!!!onewonwonone11
My point was that the ensuing comments you indicated would be warranted in JB's case because it's the norm and not so much for nathan's. What's yours?
No way, he started with a hardtail?!?freeridermtb4 said:he started with a hardtail
Mike Ditka.Zach Dank said:who would win in a fight between Rennie and Bender?
i was thinking Bender, because he could bite Rennies kneecaps.kidwoo said:Mike Ditka.
ok .Transcend said:It doesn't matter who would win, because as soon as Kovarik heard there wa sa fight going on, he'd come in and kick both of their asses.
I don't know. I think Kovarik would probably just kick Benders ass and then call it a day. He definitely does not like huckers.Transcend said:It doesn't matter who would win, because as soon as Kovarik heard there wa sa fight going on, he'd come in and kick both of their asses.
