 bender is realy a god. hes realy one of are great legends.but wade is to cuz he started hucking and goign big with more flow,and how come john doesnt get respect for evrything he did,just like to let evryone know in ned1 sure bender was starting the whole huckign scene and pushing the limtis,but john was doing so many crazy tricks for back then.tricks we still see alot now. he plays a huge roll in what we see today and why kona has such a rad team. i think there all bike legends and all have huge rolls in todays evolution.

 bender is sick, no way i would consider anything over 30ft probably ever and he trys jah drop over and over, and even though hes not in downhill domination did anyone else notice how the best guy to use (t-bag) looks just like him? haha, bender is dedicated

 I couldn't agree with you more matt^

 ppl who dont like bender never seem to find reasoning, they always state its just cause hes all balls no skills|? yet i dont understand, if that was the case everyone could send 30-40 drops to sand landings clean, their is great skill involved i personaly think, and lots of motivation to do what he does, not only that be he sends more then just drops, he was featured in a mag doing a backflip over some super sandy hip on a 50+ lbs banshee scream... this guy is a good sender and has huge motivation. and motivated the sport to the level it is today.
probs bender.
  • 6 1
 exactly! If he had no skills he probably wouldn't be here today, and its not exactly common to see heavy DH rigs being backflipped lol
  • 2 3
 he is wearing armor to do something bourdo would do shirtless, and people are making his landing for him. neg prop me all you want. i still respect the guy, i am just pointing it out.

 robby bourdon is one crazy mofo. although he doesnt drop 60ft drops. he 3's 60 ft gaps. hes a great rider with lots of skill, but i've never scene him or heard of him huck like bender. he does huck like a mother though. just not shirtless 60ft drop...... if you've got a vid or something to show me id appreciate it.

 that is not 60 feet. look at the people in the landing.

 if you think bender is shit than prove that you are better you netherland ass. do 60 ft gaps, do 50ft drops, do everythig that he did. i think you couldnt do 25 ft drop even 6 ft drop, so leave bender alone, if there was no bender, than there was no sending.

 he said bender's "the shit", not "shit"
it was a compliment

 He gets a lot of shit for crashing a lot, but let's face it, the man is a true legend, he was doing it before people like paul bas were even in nappies!

 I don't care what the haters say. Bender is, like Simmons, Schley and Tippie a godfather of Freeride. No one would be riding like they are today if it wasn't for these MEN. Mad respect to you, uncle Bendy. You are a hero!
