Tossers didn't let this guy in. They were scared he would win, obviously.

I think that he is very creative and good rider and that rampage is only matter of time. But backflips and frontflips arent everything and he should also show us some big smoth whips and things like that.

willy94 I mean stylish whip like this:
www.pinkbike.com/photo/7716482
www.pinkbike.com/photo/8530180
www.pinkbike.com/photo/8284069
Benderoni for sure would be able to do it but he doesnt show it.
Backflips and Frontflips arent't everything and smoth ride looks cool to.
Thats why for example this vid is very cool: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XByI0ifNXgY&feature=relmfu&noredirect=1
Look at 4:07 it is real whip.
There are backflips but not all the time so it isnt boring.

Angryham (Oct 25, 2012 at 8:28)

that last one wasn't really a whip, more of a scrubby thing

lawrie173 (Oct 25, 2012 at 9:35)

Bogumil- bit of a Vanderham fan? haha

deviz (Oct 25, 2012 at 13:03)

Bogumil1202247... watch his vids... then try to write something smart...

willy94 (Oct 25, 2012 at 17:07)

Bog- the whip krill is doing is way more kicked out than the examples you posted. i mean two of them are just bar turns with a table or a scrub tossed it. dont get me wrong, vanderham does some wicked whips, but im questioning your definition of a whip

Bogumil1202247 (Oct 26, 2012 at 7:57) (Below Threshold) show comment

Yes Benderoni whip out there is super big even overrotated.
But everyone can put super big 90 degrees whip and it isn't problem.
But I mean about stylish whips not just kicked from hip but made by all body.
These stylish whips are super hard to make on big jumps.
Vanderham is able to do scrub on super big jumps and everyone who know how to put scrub know that it is super hard thing to do on super big jump.

I just mean that:
SCRUB + WHIP = stylish whip
SCRUB + WHIP + TABLETOP = stylish motowhip
90* WHIP MADE ONLY BY HIP = only whip and it isnt stylish

Now give me minus Smile
