bbeaudoin (Jul 9, 2011 at 23:37)

That's not a superman... It's a rock solid

KTownRoyster (Jul 11, 2011 at 13:00)

bbeaudoin, technically he did a no footer to superman to rock solid. the picture clearly shows the three tricks. :p

gavlaa (Jul 13, 2011 at 4:17)

KTownRoyster you are tripping!! That's like saying everytime you do a tail whip you're also doing a no-footer, or like saying a barspin is a no hander... these moves are pretty diffcult without removing your limbs from your bike. He does take his feet off before his hands, I'll give you that, but even MTXers do that.

Axemen30 (Jul 13, 2011 at 13:58)

im pretty sure ktownroyster is just kidding... Razz

OMG... I'm a bit tired of big air pics/dirt jump pics as there's so much of it. Most look the same, a guy with 3 flashes, blast! Looks cool in short run but later on all looks the same. Then the sequence shots are kind of, "o, he got himself a fast SLR, whatever, and the guy really pulled it of, no cheat here".

But this thing here is bloody brilliant

Amazing shot: Composition couldn't be better, it's a smasher, editing: great idea with the sequence ending up where it does, and I like the B&W simplyfing the thing making going big stand out but not explicit. Great job from photographer, such simple yet full of content are rare.

hoboroadie (Jul 22, 2011 at 8:59)

Vaili (Jul 9, 2011 at 3:40)

i think its mx trick called rock solid?

TheRookie (Jul 9, 2011 at 4:26)

a rock solid is when you grip your grabholes and then let go and then grab them again and then land (hopefully) its pretty hard to explain videos show better

here is a rock solid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=npjb9hRDuI0&feature=related
and here is a holy man: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kxVBf5Aqqw&feature=related
