Since we did one of these last year, we should make it a tradition. It's only February, lots of you guys will be snowed under still, but I'm sure there's already some great shots out there. I'll start us off, here are a couple of me, taken yesterday by my good friend Reuben Shaul:
gonna be the ******* here, but if you don't realize you're doing that in the air, you're probably not very good/riding dangerously stupidly, and probably shouldn't be in the air that much.
But honestly, I bet you realize that you're steezin, and you just didn't realize you were getting it that steezy, in which case I take it all back!
edit: also, because opinions are like a5sholes, heres some content of my own!
hahaha, I only have video of me esploding my wheel on that drop in 2012, no pictures, but you called me on it so I guess I should go produce a 2012 pic.
Much better colors, yes. But I don't think the cropping works with the fence, you'll need to leave at least a little sky in there still. The original has a nice sense of size and scale to it, there is room for a little cropping for sure, but maybe not as much as your second version. My two cents'...
Here's a couple shot by my daughter on my iphone. Testing the suspension on my new bike while camping at Santos. Just turned 46 y/o and still just like riding.
LHere's one I'm digging out right now
Take off is where bikes at and landing is the board at the bottom below trees, ladders area nono so a plank overhanging a vertical wall that was dug out today and the drop comes in at a couple feet lol.
Will do Riding bikes is all about having fun and hanging with others with like mindset. I just wish I was closer than 12hrs to the nearest mountains (not counting Cuba). My DH bike would get a lot more use:madman:
really? I donno, I don't think of it as that big...maybe 7-9 feet high, and 15 out? Having done both, I can tell you its way worse to overshoot then undershoot! I think its relatively smooth if you land in the sweet spot.
Anyway, I'll try and get some 2012 pictures this weekend, since that was technically shot in 2011 (although I've done it in 2012!)
