that's what i call a lowrider

there is a tranny there it's just kinda "mangled"

look the rear tire OMG

i find his feet quite funny haha

even his vein in his leg is bottoming out, 'bout to burst

lol to the first comment, truuuue true

wow!!!!!!!

but the deemax still keeps its shape!

f*ckin sacked

and if u used your legs to absorb the impact, that might not have happened

yeah, but i garantee in the next frame had his legs almost bottomed out too

that doesnt counter the fact that he bottomed out with his legs straight. he'd be doin that to avoid pain. if he worked with his bike to absorb the hit, he may not have bottomed out. bottoming out with you legs straight is unacceptable

I know what you mean erik74 but I'de like to see a frme by frame of you bottoming and tell me if you can absorb an impast with your legs at the exact rate your bike does, like really we are looking at a differance of less then half a second. So if you want to keep argueing it go ahead, but I stand by my point.

im sorry, but i dont think you do understand. i never said at the same rate. but by the time you suspension has bottomed out, your legs should move. the way his legs are look like normal riding position. as soon as your tires hit the ground, you should be absorbing the impact if your riding properly. if he's absorbing the hit after his suspension bottoms out, thats basically forced on him, since his body is still moving down, and the only thing that can still move are his legs. im only so confident that this is the way things happen because its actually rather common for people that start riding on a FS to do this. im not sure that he did or not, but when you ride a HT, you have to absorb the impact with your legs. when you switch over to a FS, you bring these habits with you and absorb hits with your legs. search "bottom out" in the pics section and you'll see some other shots of "straight" legs while bottomed out.

I understand what your got you now, and yeah in that case I do agree, but it is still possible that he has a really soft suspension set for racing. If you hit a hard and fast impact like that by the time your legs could react you would likely be in your last inch or two of travel. But I do agree its quiet possible he is stiffing it.

yes, if his suspension was set up super soft, its possible. though id say he's most likely stiffing it, as you would say

i think his shock looks the best. how its just a big black lump never seen that before

just to fill all you people in, after about 0.2 secnds after this photo was taken, my head was on the handlebars, my legs were totally squashed up, my ass was buzzing the rear wheel. Do you really tink its possible to land like that (the photo) ? get some common sense, please. I have photos of me landing this, when i go half the speed, with my head 5 inches from the handlebars. Also, if you all got enough common sence to jump to conclusion about the way im landing.. if that was how i land, then my forks and front tyre would be flat out too, something about this photo tells me that maybe i landed back wheel first, and BAM the picture was taken. seriously guys all you people do is slag off the way people are riding. i would pay to see someone land a hip and stay in the posistion i am in when the photo was taken. Youd need steel bones

first of all, we cant see what you hit, so we dont know the size of it. second, yes, theres people that land things like that, ok, maybe theyre smaller than what you hit, but again, we cant see it. 3rd, your fork is pretty much bottomed out, your front tire is flattening. 4th, you need a better tranny if thats how you land every time

the same jump from a few diffrent angles.... so now you can see what he hit and then judge him

oh yea and there ssome footage of the jump in this video go to 16 seconds...

http://www.pinkbike.com/video/16862/ sorry forgot to post ot lol

thanks. where did you land? cuz it from what i can see in the pics, you landed really far down where its almost flat.... lets just drop the subject. that may just be the way you landed that time, or on that hip, do to the tranny and all.

but that guy didnt seem to have a problem with the hip.

well lets just say the guy in the vid did'nt land it as smooth as the rider in this photo does. but yes i agree lets drop it now

to nuturalhigh "thats what i call a lowrider"

thats what i call a typical orange

haha u f*cking prick look at your tyers.

serves you right for buying an orange.

Pressed the button on the camera and this was the result

check some of my other pics and you'll see where he was before he landed.

Yeah it's the Hip down the bottom, the landing of it anyway.

i bet... i use Deetraks... and they have been bombarded... and they are just going on and on.. Mavic rules.

agree with you there, people think they're crap... this picture proves them wrong

I dont think they are crap,i know itlol,too bad i had a pair of these and it fell apart in one month...too bad,i love mavic,but i wouldnt buy another deemax because the hub is a piece of crap.Check my album for busted deemax photos..

unlucky, they've lasted me more than a year. taken a beating too

i love mavic rims, the rest of thier stuff ain't great tho. I've got an EX 721 rim and it looks like new after 7 months of use!( and i can ride so none of those comments..!)

deemax rims are okay, but the hubs are complete shit. You wait.... they'll blow up on you. When they do, get a good wheelbuilder to make some special spokes so that you can run a Hope PRO2 hub in there or something like that.

wow. at first i was looking at it thinking wtf... is this liek a rearverse dhx air( manitou style) but holy crap!

reverse*

It was crazy, his tyres were completley fine, he rode off as if nothing had happend.

Someone with some sense!!!

Think hes running tubeless tyres, but are they highrollers or other maxxis? I want them!!!

they are maxxis minions mate and no they ent tubeless

maxxis millions

He was running the steel springs in there at the time and isnt quite 13 stone which that spring was for, he's got a new titanium spring back in there now so its all good.

Thats what the bike looks like WHEN you land.

what camera your using btw?

canon 400d compeltly bog standard even the lens.

try break that bike

amirB is clearly a stupid greek ass-muncher that does'nt understand bikes...

obviously this isnt the 1 second of landing... probally 0.1 second later my head was ontop of my handlebars.. use your commen sence

haha evry buddy calling you an stupid you dolbaiob!!!! hahaha amirB is a f*got red head hahahah but we all love him (NOT)

shut up rugheads

were not arabs

not arab in did im rashan man!!! and amir i fink next shabat

its russian not rashan

how'd you did that face?!?! teach me how to do faces!!!

Of corse your suspention is going to bottom if you land off a big drop!! Whats the point in having that 8" of travel if you dont use it!? Bikes are meant to bottom out douche (AmirB).

i dont care its bottomed, i care that he landed without really compressing himself, and thats bad for him and the bike

But a split second later I BET he was bottomed out! Loads of bottomed pics make it look like the rider isn't doing anything because it is taken just before he does.

maybe

amir, ur a c*nt, mat is a f*cking awesome rider, when you can beat him down that track, then you can say hes doing stuff wrong.

yep, amir is a c*nt

wow, antichavmilitia shutup, and start learning to read

and nadov shutup too

you wish.

went lower on saturday! when he landed (check the photo from castell coch in my album where hes flying through the air) he snapped his e13 bashguard

Keep thinking that... if it wasn't real I wouldn't have posted it.... Not a fan of photoshopping things to make them look crazy... the most ill do is edit the colours.

are people f*cking dumb or what, the bike hits the floor first, like im my other post, i imagine about 01 seconds later my head was hitting the handlebars....

That is a DHX 5.0

twat flat.

whats a brake?!

f*ck off !

wow calm down

FUCCK YOU BITCH

oh wow, you really have friends -.-
