Shit thats a sick shot!

ok im sorry if you guys dont agree with this but i think it is clear that there is somone on the other side of the berm making that dirt fly up because the dirt if flying at him from the side not off the back or front tire you can clearly see 2 diferent colours the light dust comming off his back tire and the dark dirt flying up

blooddog, how do you explain how the dirt in the air is the same curve as the berm? why are some people so skeptical? lighten up.

wow blooddog, youre smart
lets think, DUST is from top layer, loose dirt... so its thin... which means 1. light shining through it is gonna make it appear light and 2. its not moist, so its the same color as the top layer of dirt everywhere else...
the dirt in the ROOST is moist dirt from UNDER the top level... so its thick... which means 1. light wont shine through it so easily and 2. its moist, so its darker than the dirt on the top...
it would help to look at the picture and use just the slightest bit of logic...
only reason i get defensive for shots like these is that i have plenty of them and rarely touch my brakes... and thats visible in the pics when you look at my hands, but noobs say "oohh, nice skid, you suck"... which makes me laugh while i'm kinda pissed because the vast majority of the roost if from my FRONT tire... i would love to see someone skid their front tire through a berm and roost everywhere...

and the only reason he got that dark, moist roost is because he was absolutley SLAMMING the f-ing berm!
that takes soo much more balls and skill than, oh idk, riding off a curb and saying its a gap like half the ppl on here do...

your my hero cheeta..u can skid without using your brakes!
Making some dusty loose dirt fly isnt realy that cool.

did i ever say i was cool or good for it?
and what is cool?
not saying anything against you dude, your pics are badass and your bike is sick.

hahaha well look at here.. we got the king of dirt and dust over here cheetaprowlerdh, looks like hes been doing his studying on all the different types of dirt and dust.. woww.. ur cool kid

dont be pissed because i use some common f-ing sense...
it seems all you roof-faceplanting overly ambitious wannabe freeriders kinda lack that, so i'm just doing a quick explanation to cover for you guys...
oh, and the knowledge comes from actually building my own trails, riding and maintaining them, and paying just the slightest bit of attention to what i do...

Wouldnt want to be standing on the other side of that
youd be pulling dirt out of places you didnt know existed
aha nice pic POD

i know all too well...
i live in the heart of North County San Diego, where the riding potential is just AWESOME, but all the cities are too b!tchy about liability and image that thay fence off all the killer spots to ride and patrol them daily...
i f*cking HATE the way this country treats action sports!!!! they b!tch and B!tch about them but never, EVER give us a place to go!
action sports are here to stay, so developers should just build trannies in ditches and on the streets, stop kinking and blocking rails, and just f-ing plan ahead for us to come ride there!
laying a knobby track down here in SD is pretty much taken like murder... it f-ing sucks
i feel ya

that dust coming off his back tire is considered roost. he had to skid to create the roost......dick
- 7 1
dont be pissed because you dont know how to roost off your front tire and he quite obviously does...
look where his back tire is in relation to the wall of roost... thats not from his back tire and even if it was, look at the forward direction its going, thats from a moving tire ONLY... i mean sh!t, the dust even goes IN FRONT of him!
faaar from a skid
go drop to flat

to slash one like this(and hopefully he carried speed out of it, but regardless) takes soo much more precision, body positioning, and bike placement...
much more technique involved that maaany other aspects of DHing...
so yeah, to slash/cut a berm and pull it off with speed throughout is really hard to do... faar from impossible, but dialing the technique takes so much time
PERSONALLY, i said personally, i'm pretty fast to learn techniques in riding, but it still took me about a year to figure out how to do backside slashes/cutties... i ride regular foot, so backside for me would be a right turn...
then again, i picked it up in about two weeks once i got my new bike and got off my old POS skyscraper...
