I actually love watching imperfect riding! It makes me feel a lot better about my own abilities. We all see so many edits of flawless razor's edge, on-the-limit riding. Don't get me wrong, I love to watch riders much more skilled than myself, but seeing mistakes and crashes in an edit is often times a breath of fresh air. Watching someone conquer a challenge is always a plus too!

Nice ridin through and through... like thestig04 said, I like watching little imperfections as well, it helps when all you generally get are pro shots. The bails however.... wuhhh!!! I have to take a week off if I smoke my shoulder at all anymore... tooo many attempts at something in a day WILL ruin you/ nerve damage/connective tissue damage... etc.. great for the attempts, but remember to lay back sometimes boys!!

I thought the front tire root slip at 0:50 was scary... Then the backflip attempts came. I have no idea how he was able to try again and again... Balls of steel.

TidyDarts (Nov 4, 2012 at 21:36)

^ You don't know the Swiss flag because the US has never invaded it. I understand that's how you learn where counties are. The Swedish flag is yellow and blue - muppet

h82crash (Nov 4, 2012 at 21:42)

and being that France is next to Switzerland (and not Sweden) it's not uncommon that there are french people there.

larryssman7 (Nov 4, 2012 at 21:42)

Well that was rude. Excuse me if I'm not well versed in my geography. I'm actually not from the US but from a country with a flag very similar to Thailand's. Ours has an emblem though. Also called the Switzerland of the Americas. You should know.

Since it's all about Geography, you may be interested to know that a third of Switzerland speaks French.
