I guess you dont need a helmet when your'e sporting a suit, portuer bars and a banana seat. What could go wrong?! Besides I bet he has a greasy neatly parted head of hair. Wouldn't want to spoil it...
@VFreedh ... it was a joke .. as per the emoticons.. really tho my comment is a response to all the people who are saying that so-and-so did it first - who cares? this is a sick shot, sick sequence, sick rider and a wicked setup! I am a huge Rheeder fan, being from onterrible myself, and also a big Macduff fan and I say props to the rider, props to the photog and props to the shot! Keep em coming! Go Rheeder - the FMB is yours to take!
You guys can all say what you want about who did it first, how many times its been done,.. whatever. But I'm led to believe Rheeder's looks like it could be the biggest ever done, therefore the most badass. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about it being the biggest.
Only Rheeder and Macduff and Benderoni (is that his name?) have done this on mtb. Another time where you are trying to take credit away from Rheeder, Henry.
all you need to say, he pulled it a big while ago and nobody gave a flying fuck, then a more famous rider pulls it off and it's the sickest shit ever....
What is this bike? What is this bike? What is this bike? What is this bike? What is this bike? What is this bike? What is this bike? What is this bike? What is this bike? What is this bike? What is this bike? What is this bike? What is this bike?
Hey what the f*ck! Alot of posts have names of some ryders that have already done the over vert flip, but ¿what is the reason of putting those names there? i mean ok, tons of dudes can do a tailwhip like nothing, but ¿can they jump a 15ft gap doing that shit? i don't think so!! So if you wanna be sarcastic and disrespectful with what this sick f*cker have just done, you gonna have to stand up from that chair, grab your bike go out and do that shit.
At least i want to see one of you haters trying to do that trick, and then say ¡yes bitch i have done the same shit, so i can say that you are not the only one that have done that!, but anyway i do not care about how much dudes can or can not do that, i care about ryders that went out and broke their asses trying to do the trick and landed it.
Anyway there is a reason why you aren't in this picture, in new zealand and in pinkbike.com don't you think???
OK boom, & can you wake the rest of us up when McDuff does one that's MTB sized on his oversized BMX bike that makes the small BMX sized flip look even smaller? Riding with no brakes is kinda like riding with no helmet. It's dumb, it doesn't entitle you to extra credit for anything you do that's the same size & it's not an excuse for not going as big. You must be one of those trendy robot tools that follows others around by the smell of their anus. Probably adopting something you think is cool after it's passed through everyone else who thought it was first. FYI, brakeless never was or ever will be cool, neither was/is helmetless, mullets never were or will be either. Also a bike with no brakes, ain't no f*ckin' MTB, dipshit. Rheeder just showed us again why he wins, you just showed us why McDuff doesn't.
