Volcom321...if he went to the top hed naturally go further out and hit the other house

It's a good thing Specialized makes well built bikes. I doubt that 15' to FLAT is what they had in mind but looks like it took it.

Respect for pushing the boundaries of the sport...

Sport of "go huck yourself"

And look at his left feet, I think he crashed (after the real jump he did, not this one)

elchris123 (Sep 23, 2010 at 5:39)

so where is the spokes?

WAKIdesigns (Oct 19, 2010 at 15:37)

ughhh RotemRubin you are soooo special, "Photoshop"... how stupid are you?

lingus (Oct 20, 2010 at 6:14)

rotemrubin is implying its photoshopped ya dumb shit.

WAKIdesigns (Oct 20, 2010 at 7:28)

yes I know what is it, that he is implying. Basing on the fact he thinks it is Photoshoped basing on "no spokes" (any 9-11 conspiracy theories?) just as many morons love to do with some PODs, I dare to imply he is stupid. I do it accordingly to the rule describing behaviour which fuels most of internet forums all over the world: being an a**hole makes the world a better place. Just like you do mr lingus - and learn to swear properly, "dumb sh*t" is pretty lame least to say, learn some rhythm...

lol.. just don't cry

loku1 (Mar 30, 2011 at 10:24)

this photo reminds me one song from Jackass, it goes something like: "if you gonna be dumb you gotta be tough"

sam264 (Apr 21, 2011 at 8:39)

of course it's photoshopped, unless there were three identical people hitting the drop at the same time.
However, the photo is not a fake, and he did hit the drop. Watch the goddamn video.

elchris123 (Aug 9, 2010 at 22:22)

with the way i have it set up, no where nearly as bad as a race bike, but I still felt it, lol

Saint12 (Aug 9, 2010 at 23:05)

what about your ankle. lol. it looks like it snapped Big Grin

elchris123 (Aug 9, 2010 at 23:07)

Im perfectly fine, its just that at that force, everything looks deformed

vandalizer (Sep 3, 2010 at 23:57)

No. Your foot is bent and not on the pedals and your rear foot looks barely on. Could have been bad for you for sure. 15 to flat? no thanks. Ballsy though ;o)

elchris123 (Sep 4, 2010 at 0:06)

no, they were both on, but barely. Right foot's arch is over the pedal axle, and left foot heel is over the axle. Yes, after seeing the picture, I realized how close I could have been to breaking both my ankles and feet though

vandalizer (Sep 6, 2010 at 20:59)

What did you ride off? The railing? Or is that a roof?

Also where were you?

elchris123 (Sep 6, 2010 at 21:19)

I rode off the railing, the roof is 20' that might be next, and I was at my apartment

Saint12 (Sep 6, 2010 at 21:22)

20' to flat?

elchris123 (Sep 6, 2010 at 21:30)

thats plan anyways, it should be pretty damn sick

Saint12 (Sep 6, 2010 at 21:36)

that is gnarly dude, much respect 2 u. be safe. you're totally gonna be pushin the big hits limits. its gonna make for some awesome footage.

elchris123 (Sep 6, 2010 at 21:38)

thanks, i don't believe im gonna go any bigger than 20' though, thats getting crazy, who knows how big with a tranny though

Saint12 (Sep 6, 2010 at 22:29)

JHewitt (Nov 24, 2010 at 11:55)

The photo is clear (bad) photoshop... after seeing the video though theres no doubt that he did do it, but i just think you did a bad job putting this photo together. People seem to forget that you need photoshop to make these type of pictures. Looks like you went for cutting out just the rider and putting them all on the background, next time you should try putting them all on 3 layers and messing around with the opacity levels. Sick jump though!

elchris123 (Nov 24, 2010 at 17:19)

i actually did do something similar to that, its just that for whatever reason pinkbike decide to take this low res shot and blow it up huge so it looks extremely pixelated, oh well, it looks way better smaller.

summit800 (Oct 25, 2011 at 17:51)

how could u not be impressed this is cool oldschool balls to the wall. part of me missed the harshness and hardcoreness of this type of hucking, thats right i just said hucking, u want a landing involved well huck you your not going to hucking find a hucking landing when your hucking, hucking props bro. huge huck......

Saint12 (Aug 9, 2010 at 23:04)

elchris123 (Aug 9, 2010 at 23:06)

the bighit is one of the most indestructible bikes I know of, I absolutly love it! dont understand why people hate it, lol

Saint12 (Aug 9, 2010 at 23:11)

yup the name says it all tup

str4tegix (Sep 4, 2010 at 6:38)

i dont know people who hates bighit. in our country, thats one of the most used fully frames. i have it also, and i love it! Smile

and this jumps is absolutely sick, hope you and your bike survived it without any damage! =)

elchris123 (Jan 12, 2011 at 1:44)

i actually broke one spoke on the rear (due to the wheel being SO stiff since its a 24" doublewide with tied and soldered spokes) and I actually cracked the weld on the front rim. luckily I have three more Smile

nice photoshop.. you forgot the spokes tho

elchris123 (Sep 2, 2010 at 11:17)

the wheels are obviously spinning, and with this low res shot it is difficult to make them out, you can on the top shot on the back wheel because of the bright background
