 how the f@ck did he ride that out? I would have been dead. Well realistically I would have never been going that fast in the first place but still thats unreal.

 Didn't ride it out. Something got lost in translation on the caption. Last photo both feet are blown off. He runs it out and his bike goes over the corner. No huge crash but certainly didn't pedal away.

 By the last snap he's not even covering the brake anymore! I wish I had the gall to not cover the brakes during half my riding...

 Between frame 5 and 7 he decompresses and launches a foot off the ground! Amazing save!

 Never ever let go of the bars...unless you really have to. Is the key here...

 Every time I see things like this I wonder what tires do they have. If I came anywhere near this I would wash out or plain crash. I must have watch the video 100 times to figure out if he made it.

 Frame 3 - How on earth did he save that! I would already be calling the ambulance!

 Frame 7 alone makes it look like he ripped apart those berms and was about to destroy the next one though.
