Selected by Ian Hylands - Once again I've chosen my own shot as POD, I hope you don't mind too much. I'm pretty stoked on this shot, Anthony absolutely killed it at Joyride, and while this isn't the craziest trick he did, it's definitely the biggest thing anyone did. I won't bore you with composition or lighting, there's no flash, just daylight etc.
And me I recon he could of knocked Semenuk off top spot with his 3rd run, unfortunately he just went too high on this hip, it was truly gutting, this kid is amazing!, he'll defo win this in the future
It would of been a great run if he held it together, but who knows what Semenuk had up his sleeve for his final run. Would of been great to see him have to push it though.
Crankworks should move to the XGames style format, where for final runs, the first place rider and the second place riders swap, so that the first place guy has to do his best run because second place could still beat him. that way the last run of the comp is actually exciting
i feel bad...everyones hating on semenuk. he did an absolutly fantastic run and tricked everything and he did have one more run after zink and messere too....messere did some of the craziest stuff ive seen but semenuk won for a reason
I remember the time when he crashed doing this... my video cut out when he was at his peak and I thought to myself, there is no way he is landing that. haha
Excelent shot! It is funny the expressions of the three guys behind the camera man, like saying "What the f...!" and then the video-camera man kind of strugling to focus into such a huge jump. I wonder if he got any of it!
