quit exaggerating... he only risked paralysis.

He risked paralysis, which means you can't move (or ride a bike). Now since the bike is life, he did, in theory, risk his life. Logic!

God damn it, I was just kidding but you got me there, haha. Well done and that gap is mental. Its like 5x's more insane than the gap Mccaul did.

I much prefer the view on this shot from 45grade anlge... Less typical and it looks impossible like actually is going to land into the other side... My Desktop background. www.pinkbike.com/photo/11943175

How are his gigantic balls defying gravity and not dropping him into that canyon?

#2 took the risk to do technical right turn.

#1 is bad ass but #3 gets the vote for photography.

I like #2, but that rock drop was better when Eddie Masters launched it on a fatty

respect for the CX photo! I would never do that... don't think I'm able to....

twozerosix (Apr 2, 2015 at 18:20)

I can do that. Its just that in the very next photo I'm eating several mouthfuls of dust as I go OTB.

I like number 3, it makes me want to go ride, and I think about riding like where does the trail he's on going? (run on sentence)

Aidenfoster (Apr 2, 2015 at 15:38)

These photos are wild! top ones is for sure my favorite

#3. Reminds me of this girl I used to date.

#1 - NO CONTEST.

JonathanTeas (Apr 3, 2015 at 1:35)

Yes

Really really like #3

twozerosix (Apr 2, 2015 at 16:25)

Sheffield looks like a cool place to ride.

OriginalDonk (Apr 2, 2015 at 16:47)

Considering the DH talent that has come out of Sheffield it's definitely on my list of places to ride.

danielstutt (Apr 3, 2015 at 5:33)

if you knew what sheffield was like..... lol! sure theres good riding locations nearby though.

dirt88 (Apr 2, 2015 at 18:46)

#1 wins the action score hands down. #3 is an amazing shot though.

MyriamL (Apr 4, 2015 at 12:15)

I really like the #3, the composition is just perfect between the road, the rider and the mountains. And the light really just perfect!
However, #1 looks sick!

Mohannes (Apr 3, 2015 at 1:05)

#3! perfect contrast between the smooth street road and the rough mountain terrain.

LukasMTB (Apr 3, 2015 at 19:12)

#4, simple, clean, and a classic. can't beat it

Selgovae (Apr 2, 2015 at 18:06)

#1. Freeride ain't dead!

bikerguy957 (Apr 2, 2015 at 18:15)

in number 1 is he using a enduro bike ! i would want more travel for that jump

chriskink (Apr 3, 2015 at 1:23)

I nearly spat my coffee out when I noticed that.

bikerguy957 (Apr 5, 2015 at 14:22)

ya i did to :-0

ricechrispy (Apr 3, 2015 at 12:14)

Hope that wasn't a pre-production frame in #1.

yazzie (Apr 5, 2015 at 14:53)

But did he land bust a one handed wheelie and ride into the sunset like wade Simmons?!?!?

lejeune (Apr 2, 2015 at 15:33)

the-lorax (Apr 2, 2015 at 18:22)

#3, but I really want to vote for #1.

Shawn is a beast !!!

1 or 3 is sick

Yep gotta give it to #1 because it is simply bad ass, and I also saw the video which was even more extremely bad ass. As for pure art, that goes to #3. But this isn't an art gallery this is to get us stoked to go ride, so yep #1! P.S. and #1 also proves that freeride isn't dead and photo # 2 proves that dirty roadies aren't having much fun all spandex out with a seat post up their ass because they do not believe seat droppers are a wonderful technological advancement as that would take them too far from being on their road bike...but want to play in the dirt. Yea that photo just screams look at my seat post up my ass, but my bike only weighs 18lbs, and my spandex is so tight fitting, let's go ride!

mfbeast12 (Apr 3, 2015 at 2:21)

just letting you know, that "roadie" (he is on a mountain bike, for f*ck's sake...) will kick your ass.

djm35 (Apr 3, 2015 at 1:53)

#1 I'm pretty sure he crashed the landing, #2 should be hucking it. #3 awesome landscape shot. #4 yet another whip shot. #5 cant find anything negative to say, and he's on the edge with that. For these reasons #5 gets my vote.
