haha... lets just hope his heel isnt broken. this is such an iconic photo. shows the risk involved when shit hits the fan, probably my favorite shot from all of rampage. id be disappointed if this isnt in the lineup for POY

I never would've thought anyone could ever survive that bail... i guess Zink really do have wings...

mr-man-guy (Oct 8, 2012 at 1:13)

it's amazing that he could just limp away from that... - i'd be dead

Was anybody more impressed/scared by the insane more-than-vertical-drop-in at the top??

larryssman7 (Dec 30, 2012 at 12:40)

i imagine falling from that height would be like one of those scary dreams I always have, where I'm falling out of the sky and theres nothing I can do except flinch, and wake up when I hit the ground.

c25porter (Oct 9, 2012 at 10:26)

I still can't figure out why he let go of the bike, even the helmet cam footage makes it look like he should have held on. I am sure he made the right call though, just curious what it all would have looked like if he held on.

g0shj0sh10 (Oct 9, 2012 at 17:59)

probly would have landed on his face... the front of the bike was diving super fast

One of the craziest lines in mtb history from start to finish. Top section look retarded let alone the 80' gap

Is there a guy on the other side of the landing with illuminated paddles waving him in or what? Massive ejection caught in a away only Sterling could...

Biggest "Oh Shit!" moment in cycling history so far! Ha!

RussellTinka (Oct 11, 2012 at 11:00)

Does this surpass Benders "jaw drop"?

bman33 (Oct 11, 2012 at 11:41)

By far. Bender's Jaw Drop, in my opinion, was just an idiot "hey ya'll watch this moment" doomed to fail from the begining.

RussellTinka (Nov 10, 2012 at 17:31)
