@derek43 how would you support Stevie by doing that? He is, after all, dead. Or is there a foundation all of the profits from t.shirts, stickers, etc already go to?
I thought that too, my brain assumed he would land and he was only about 2/3rds through the drop!! Was it the same drop Andreu and Kyle hit after? It looked waaaaaaaay bigger in the shot of Connor... Hope he heals up in time to ride tomorrow. Overall just super stoked again for this year, the riders look more relaxed and having "fun" - dare I say it, more of a Fest vibe.
The stakes are so high with every line I've got a pit in my stomach just watching. I can't believe the cojones these guys have to step up and send these moves.
I honestly think that Connor is out of his mind now...
I don't want to be a sceptic, but in my opinion he's struggling too much with his line, he doesn't look smooth at all, no place for style, only fight for survival.
Hitting enormous shit is not going to change that, he's taking too much risk...
From what I've heard him say in a few different videos, it sounds like he's just trying to dial it back a bit. Being married w/new kiddos is a compelling reason to want to preserve your health. Cam has had a good career pushing the limits.
