caste1200 and frozone427, if you watch the whole video you can see the saftey peopple un-clip his harness and he does the hops again without the harness.
they take out and put stuff in movies all the time, i don't know why it is accepted in that form of media entertainment, and not this one, for some odd reason it is a huge FAUX-PAS to remove an eye sore from a picture with a program designed to do it.
cool pic even though it is photo shopped, which he should have said in the description. As far as im concerned the Guinness world records are pointless, who cares.
dsrider - he had a safety rope for his practice attempt, but for his second his was simply sat behind him holding his arms up in case he fell without the safety rope, but yeah he and the camera man and another guy have been shopped out... Personally i don't think it's that great a photo anyway.
Hey, is this picture a pit photoshopped, i didn't saw the security guy's leaving him alone up there, they just took off his safety but they didn't leave... BUT THE PICTURE IS PRICELESS!!!!! Amazing, you don't need balls for that, i think he is not a human Crazy...
the video showed other people up there with him, where are they in this pic? I don't doubt that he was actually up there doin that, I did watch the video, but I think someone chopped the people out to make it look more epic then it is.
EPIC Riding,EPIC Scenery,EPIC Detail,EPIC Colour.Basically it's EPIC in everyway,and it's only the 4th of June,and we've already got the number 1 POD of the June top 5 monthly comp, what a shame for any photag's who are members of PinkBike.NO PRESSURE. Gary.
a couple hour climb with the bike attached to a backpack i guess

a couple hour climb down with the bike attached to a backpack

a very hardcore downhill with a splash into salty water in the end
thats crazy holy shite PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. just wondering for anyone that races downhill do you know what a licence is???
They did photoshop the guy out that was standing right behind him making sure he didn't fall. Its in the video and you can tell when you look at the pic. But he was still un tethered so this no matter what, this is insane.
at first this look crazy but than I watched the video and the space on top is pretty big and flat i'm sure the wind makes it harder but its not like he could fall off
after thinking about it this cant be photoshopped, because to get up there, he had to use a helicopter which is obviously where the picture was taken from
Quite right jbike101! Could you imagine climbing that thing and still have the energy, stamina and concentration to pull it off? I know I could not................. He's da man!!!
i dont even care if yall hate on this not like it effects my day or emotions but i think its gaay, pointless record, i'd even do it if i was giving the chance but i'd rather basejump that shit, the guys making sure he didnt fall are even photoshoped, i think its nothing special just beautiful
cool photo, yes, good stunt - not at all. did anyone watch this video?? its absolutely retarded. why waste time and money to go up a 140m rock and hop on your back tire 60 times?? i mean really. would have been somewhat cool if they had taken his harness off at the top, but with literally no risk involved in that stunt- FAIL.
the video is a fake..... in this picture the guy is alone on the rock,and the rock has an angled top,in the video it was a flat top and there was a man directly behind him holding his harness,this is photoshopped,and fake....
This is the Gringo with his head in his hands,as i've just watched the footage of this World Record.First of all disregard the comment above,it couldn't be further from the truth. This Itallian lad i've forgot his name for the minute but he is well known,and is in fact one of the best street riders in the business.But back to the question at hand.And the answer is,HE CLIMBED UP IT FOR FCUKSAKE.And when he got to the top he started hopping like the mad man that he his.See it here,nice one italian m8http://www.pinkbike.com/news/vittorio-brumotti-guiness-record-2010.html
1) tis a vile drink that turns even the most respecful men into complete scoundrals 2) that signal is over 1000ft high and the entire royal navy is out looking for me, do you think theres even the slightest chance they wont see it??
honestly, if we can send people to the moon and Terry Fox can run across Canada I don't see why you would doubt that getting to the top of a big rock and hopping on it would be impossible, people achieve pretty incredible things when they're determined
