He just binned it alot but came down really hard on his arm. Basicly if anyone crashed they'd died, and Richard. Richard died in room 2

i think he'll be out this weekend, he fell pretty hard! they carried him out on a board.

yeah, on the replay you could see his neck got whipped real bad on the crash, I think he'll be out for a little longer than just the weekend unfortunately.

brett236 (Jul 22, 2011 at 8:57)

his neck will be the least of the injury. his leg(mostly knee) got mangled. he couldn't even walk off. im calling out a blown acl or mcl.

hey guys.....who ist this benny phillips and why or how could he enter the competition? Hes not a listed rider in the fmb world tour. And if a previously confirmed rider crashes and is out, the next rider from the fmb world tour moves into his spot. SO WHY THE HECK IS THIS RIDER IN THE COMP?????

togood2die (Jul 21, 2011 at 20:35)

After Paul wrecked, I had a feeling it was down to Zink and maybe Strait, and Kyle through down, but his double whip had more sketch to it... CONGRATS ALL AROUND!

2 0

Devinallan000x (Jul 21, 2011 at 20:39)

man they really ramped it up there near the end it was flipwhip after flipwhip after frounty after tailwhip it was too sick! this is by far going to be the sickest slopstyle event of the year. sucks for paul B tho hes a super sick rider and theres no doubt in my mind that he would of possibly one the whole competition. looking forward to saturday ride on guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! best of luck on the road to recovery paul !

1 0

Tgej (Jul 21, 2011 at 21:01)

strait wasnt doing as good as he could of today, his only good trick was his double whip

Ya he strait aired EVERY SINGLE other jump 'till the double jump

Matt-W (Jul 21, 2011 at 20:46)

I think since qualifying got moved a lot of the riders were taking it a bit easy not wanting to get hurt for the joyride. Ben was looking pretty sketchy in practice but definatley came out fighting, the crowd loved him and he deserved the win up top.

One of my pet hates at the moment is this recent trend for artificial depth of field.

IanHylands (Jul 22, 2011 at 2:08)

I'll assume you're talking about Sterl's photo and there is nothing artificial about it. He was using a TS-E45mm f/2.8 (that's straight from the metadata) so perhaps just a tiny moment of research is warranted before you start making comments about it?

Tiltshift - whatever. I don't like it, it doesn't 'look' right. The tree on the extreme left is both in and out of focus - that's not natural.

2 0

kyphoto (Jul 22, 2011 at 10:19)

While I agree that "iamamodel" should pay attention to the metadata I'll also say that tilt/shift is really getting played out (about 2 yrs ago-thanks to LensBabies). Which is too bad because it can be used to make some really cool images. And in Sterlings' pic it really seems to bring nothing to the image. I'm assuming he had that lens on for a different shot when Cam came through? Who knows. But he easily could have dropped the foreground spectators out of focus with a low aperture.

Both images are pretty good but all the technical BS aside I think Ian definitely grabbed the better pic of Cam this time.
