Bogumil1202247, if you've not seen anything this size outside of a photo let alone ridden it you have no idea what you're talking about. Your arrogance muddled in with your ignorance does make for amusing reading though, so at least you have that going for you if not much else. " "
Bunkey did I say it is small? Nice table on te photo why do you guys get excited of this jump. This jump is big but i wrote it isn't VERY big because it isn't very big so back of
Dude I like how you say thats bigger, even though the air time and distance are remotely the same. I think thats a huge ass jump either way. I have a buddy that does a 30 foot road gap and it looks HUGE to me. Your crazy to say that 10 meters isn't sending it.
i think some people underestimate just how long 10m actually is... and pictures never do things justice! its when you are there looking over the edge of the f*cker that you think "hmmm maybe not actually"
See if i did that i would probably pussy out completely... this is the sort of thing where i would do a train behind someone who has hit it before and just follow them and hope for the best.
well its a big jump but its not HUGE! but amazing none the less. and to the person saying its super huge.. bromont on Quebec has a 50 foot gap in the bike park and a 50 food bridge jump and the end of the trails. so 30 feet is not HUGE but like i said its still a super nice jump and i would spend a lot of time there
Ok first of all you guys need to study up on math... 10 meters is a 30ft road gap and just because the lip is big doesnt mean the gap is big... the jump is 33 ft.. can you say LAME... we have bigger dirt jumps that guys here hit on hard tails... really think about what you guys are talking about.. nice jump and nice gap!!
www.pinkbike.com/photo/4283431 is near 25 feet or something. easily done on any hardtail. dont get me wrong, the picture has many great elements beside just the jump. props to anyone who gets out and rides, rather than sit on pink bike and be internet bullies all day
Thanks for your interest in my non active album from over a year ago.. if you would like to know my location so you can look up pics it happens to be NEW MEXICO... and thanks picture man...
he said that they guys here hit bigger jumps. never claiming he did. i happen to be one of those guys, and yah i would probably hit that on my dirt jumper.
i think its big regardless whether or not ppl will hit it with their djs or not. so then props to those people who can.
either way it looks sick, deff POD worthy im pretty sure there are enough PODs without people even getting air so thats not a factor
Yeah totally agree with the majority on this one,that is as sik as POD's get,excellent photograph,well caught,nicely centred. And the rider's veins must be full of adrenalin right about now,you just know by looking at his body positioning that he landed it as smooth as ya like. When ya read some of the comments it makes ya laugh,it's just good to know that the majority of the pink bike followers,can appreciate that this is a million miles away from a str8 forward road gap,it loox simple when seen done,but i'd love to give some of the negative commenters a Glory and say go on then,it's all yours.Ha-Ha. Anyway it's a wicked POD,and it will be my new POD for the foreseeable,so nice one. And keep them road gaps flyin' high. Gringo.
Agreed very nice picture... Huge Gap!!!! I just got back from a ride and this makes me want to get back out there...... but I have finals next week.....FML
The road used to be an XC trail, and was blocked to reroute it to avoid too much traffic under the jump.. Btw there´s 2 more lines crossing the road with blind corners.
I don't know, I spoke with some danish guy on a DHcomp in Sweden, and he said the closest good riding spots is Germany or Sweden, as Denmark has not much to offer. But well he might not know the good danish spots. I also don't which spots he refered as good in Sweden because most are like 100m lifts for kids learning how to ski. They are ok, but you have to dig deep to find justification for riding DH bike on them. Gesunda or Åre: its long way from Denmark, probably better to put like 4 hours drive more to get to France/Switzerland Portes du SOleil
in General Scandinavia is the sh* loads of way from south to north... its insane for me with ppl driving from Germany to Hajfell in Norway... even from Hamburg
The track this pic if from is brand new
and has been build be two riders who spend the summer year after year in whistler, france and other placeses and they are both skilled trail builders.
This track have been build knowing that denmark is FLAT!! so they have tryed to get the best out of it.
And they did a very good job at building a track here in Denmark.
OHH and come on by it is a open public track!!
great then! Im already jealous... if only there was a bridge from Goteborg to Wilhelmshaven
I don't want to criticize anything, but with these huge jumps all the way down: won't you have problems with kids or guys with midlife crisis breaking themselves? Im just curious cuz most bike parks avoid these kinds of structures by building table-tops safe-stuff (or maybe I just sit too long in Sweden to look for safety everywhere )
yes this is always someone's own responsibility. The problem is stupid pissed-of-parents of a broken kid who say that it's parks fault for having such dangerous installations. Then they demand the trail to be torn down. It happens quite often with dirt jumps on that basis. That's why bikeparks don't want to risk that usualy, so they build as safe jumps as possible.
Strangely enough, they usualy happen to be some rich wanker with his bi*ch wife on high heels and million dollar makeup, that never have time for their kids.
There are signs posted everywhere reminding people that they have responsibility for themselves, so hopefully this won't happen! It's one of very few 'legal' trails in DK, and I'm sure it took a lot of convincing to get permission to build it.
I'm not exactly local I'm afraid. I live in another part of the country. If you're there the 18th or 19th September though, there's the last round of the DH cup which I'll probably attend.
I almost crashed on the first try. Nervousness + too little rebound = (almost) death by nosedive A friend of mine also did a one-hander but didn't get his hand back on in time :/ He was ok though
Nice one Hubert,thats the best comparison to the POD i've ever seen:P ,speak again when or if ya come back down from whtever cloud your inhabiting,i'll give your link one thing though it's a decent little jump,and i'll never give anybody stick for getting off their ass's and jumping rather sat doing jack. Gringo.
NOT BAD!? That's an awesome gap jump,he'll have had to have been doing some serious speed for that gap.Cos i know it's technically a stepdown,but you look where the landing logs are, they're only about a metre lower than the take off,making it a very technical and skillful jump indeed,if he comes up short at the speed he's going,it's goodnight my friend.Know what i mean.Awesome gap jump. Gringo.
How the hell is that a stepdown. I cant see any possible way to go down off that.
Plus its a lip and boosts ya up, and there is a log landing on the other side.
