thats nuts. doubt many people would try that stuff on fullys let alone ht's!
i know.... i dont understand why. Everyone has the right to think what they want but i just ask one thing THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK....
Now heres someone who's not afraid to hit massive stuff! We should all use him as an example to "GO BIG"!
This is one of the best VODs for a while, amazing skill to handle those drops on a hardtail, ive done some bigish stuff on my hardtail, but after watching that i want to go try some HUGE stuff like that guy! massive respect to the rider.
to all the douches ripping on bender below: he hucks huge shit, no matter if it has a smooth landing or not. the jah drop has a shitty landing, so even if someone goes out and does a 55 foot drop, it isn't that comparable still...
Those we're f*cking huge. A parachute would be a worthy piece of safety equipment for some of those drops!
What a f*ckin loser. the only thing he has done that i can't do is the jah drop. and he didnt land that either. stop worshipping this guy
Too bad it did mate... that was freeriding not this whole slopestyle stuff... it looks cool but it's just BMXing with bigger bikes
uh slopestyle is more then that
theres drops in slopestyle
and peopel are doign 3's off them
to give it some STYLE
theres no style in that
or skill
anybody can huck a bike off a cliff
but not every body can spin off cliffs

BMXers do 3's of drops too, ever see the dew action sports tour? like hoshi said, i also think slopestyle is just BMXing with big bikes, if there's no skill i would like to see you dropping those cliffs on your bike!
i agree that there is no place for hucking anymore. its just not fun to watch or do, and really doesnt take much skill
djing123 you tool your right anyone can huck a cliff but not everyone has the balls or tits to huck anything near what bender has accomplished...he may break bones and look like an idiot somtimes but its all for the good of the life of BIKING not just mtbing meaning bmxing aswell josh bender gives so much insperation out to all kinds of riders.. i think he basically sets an example of "go out and do your best"
All i say is that aslong as you go ou and enjoy riding your bike, who cares what type of riding you do.
Hucking stuff is gay, specially when your doing it on a hardtail, djing123 is so right. this is not a vod worthy video.
personally I think 'freeriding' is getting over saturated with generic slopestyle comps which are just glorified dj/bmx comps. Fair play the tricks are impressive and the riders are super talented but lets see some style off 40+ foot step downs etc! I read they made the drop at Crankworks this year smaller because riders didnt want to do it!! Whats happening!?! I remember seeing Kyle Straight busting a suicide no-hander of the 70ft Bender Sender a couple of years ago, now Im watching some kid in tight jeans pull 28 bar spins out of a wooden bowl and it just aint the same somehow. Freeride is gradually becoming more about fashion and image and popularity rather actually pushing the sport, with Big companies dropping big mountain riders and replacing them with new guys who only seem to dirt jump, I personally cant wait for event like the Rampage to come back and bring MTBing back to its roots.
Rant over...here come the -props!
Rant over...here come the -props!
warrendh : dude the made the drops/jumps smaller becuause they want to see bigger tricks
the bigger the drop the smaller the trick cuase it takes more balls to do a trick
thats why everthing is small this year cause they dont want to see guys jsut jumping off stuff they wnat tricks and its call slopestyle cause there i supposed to be style not throwing yourself off a cliff

warren dh has got it f*ckin right. and seriously people..just go ride and do what you want. if huckin is what floats your boat do it, if it's slopestyle, have fun with that. jeez, f*ckin everyone's just bitchin about what everyone else likes. just do your own thing.
djing123, I respect what your saying but from my perspective, hucking a dead sailor is ugly, so I agree with you there but Pro riders who get paid to ride their bike should have the skill to make these bigger drops and jumps look stylish and really show us what is possible on a big wheeled bike. Whether its a trick or just pulling a stylish tabletop or something. I just don't want to see "slopestyle" becoming all that freeriding is because we may as well be on bmx's.
A tthe end of the day tho, the likes of McCaul, Bas, Semenuk they still do have loads of talent and I have great respect for them riding their bikes. I just dont want MTBing to become more about the publicity and fashion than actually getting out in the mountains and riding your bike.
Im off to ride my bike now haha!

but the hucking part is over

warren dh has got it right but as long as you are pushing your own limits.... its all good!!! go ride a bike and stop complaining about riding styles.... style is style and every body has there own.

there some pretty good hucks like but you have to work on not dead sailoring them. you seem to be good on dirt jumps, transfer your skills over
in response to the comment below\/ in one of the drop in series the 'crew' meet up with bender and are ecstatic about doing so, romaniuk included. He's now pro, and thinks highly of bender. go suck dick.
peun, bender is so not sick, there is not one pro out there that i have ever met that thinks highly of bender's riding. he hucks big but cant ride for shit, vanderham goes just as big but he has sic smooth style and doesnt look like a complete rook on a bike.
BENDER IS THE BEST LETS SEE U DROP 55 FEET FALL AND GET BACK UP AND TRY IT AGAIN SURE HES GOT NO STYLE BUT HES GOT BALLS THATS MORE THAN U
Give this dude a fully with the perfect set up and you will
see!!! Dont talk shit this dude is a hammer!
And you will shit in youer pans like a girl...do drops like this on a hardtail! :-)

this guy is also dropping everything into sand except that road gap which was sweet. sand is alot more forgiving then compacted dirt

major props, crazy ruskie.... shame some of the vidoes are poor quality, also you should really wear a helmet on those djs, even if they are quite small...
You know the funny fact is when the vid was shot the guy was 15 years old!!!
Now he does by far mor crazy shit!))) He also rides a DC Cock, not that shitty Stark Shooter in the vid))

Sorry my english is SHIT
Sorry my english is SHIT
lol and bender jsut falls he dosnt land his jumps off cliffs and any one can do it ppl just arnt that stupiedbender is like a lemming u no the lil rat things that run off clifs and die pretty much what bender does
that guy has some balls and i sure as hell wouldn't do those jumps, but bender is history for a reason
I have to say, I am not a fan of hucking, but seeing it to this extreme on a hardtail... well, I am now a believer. Hardtail for life!!!
ok when these people grow balls and hit a 50 foot drop talk shit wow you have to give him something for that and when i meet bender hes a hella tight guy and hella smooth rider so all you have seen is his drop jaws and when u land a 50 foot drop show us cuz i dont see any of you trying shit by the way sick no hander lander shit is dialed
dude that no hander to landind it like that was sooooooo sick omg it was insane that ws really sick video but shitty camera
People have been hucking on hardtails for years. Look at Russel Morrel. He was hucking his balfa minuteman larger than anyone. The best hardtail hucker ever. He competed in the redbull rampage. He busted out harder than lots of people. And he did gaps and calculated hits. And he was also quite the fast rider. This guy does not compare to Russel Morrel at all. As for Bender he is one of the toughest men alive, he dominated hucking and helped make freeriding known to many. I agree he wasnt the most "skilled" mountain biker but he is crazy and the best at what he does. This guy has some guts, not many people huck on hardtails or anything anymore so i will give him props for that. Thats my 2 cents
[Reply]
Russian Stark Shooter + Russian Vodochka = Hucking.
Benderoni- Respect, dude!
Our country have many heros on MTB and BMX.
Await us, we are came to U !!!

Bender gets paid out to much. Not only can he huck, he can also jump 20 feet high off his bike when he lands. As for this guy.. well he's just awesome.

Cool Beans...Bender is the deal....ryan-irvine...dont hope that Josh bender breaks his neck....go ride a scooter and get cancer you baby back bitch
props , i would not wanna keep trying that if i wiped out , mad props. and i ride bmx and the defiantly would NOT handle drops like that
Pretty sick video, although it makes me wonder what kind of moron would attempt a no-handed landing helmetless (72sec)
people are still entitled to an opinion even if they don't send it as large as this dude. huge props for hitting massive stuff on a hardtail, but there's a reason the popularity of this style of riding has dropped off in the last few years. in my mind smooth style wins over massive insanity anyday. but thats just my opinion
props to this guy for going big, but not the best VOD choice

hardtail...BIGDEAL!!!.... SO WHAT!!!....we have hit gaps and jumps just as big (maybe not as long distance though) on BMX bikes.. that is ZERO suspension for all of those that have forgotten... his forks are taking some edge off landings even though he has no rear suspension
VID....nice
HT...so

Why do you have to brag when we all have seen it before? Just shut the hell up!!
Nobody really cares what you think, it's just people who feel bad enough for you that they will stop and pretend to care to hear what you say. It's the truth, sorry to be the one to tell you.

bender is history??? ummmmm no. everyone will remeber jaw drop wich i didnt see u do in this vid so no bender is not history(not that i wanna see anyone do jaw drop on a hardtail) but still bender would probably do all the shit u did in this vid. good job tho ur f*cking nuts to do all that shit, props. but still dont say shit like that. bender is a legend, has anyone heard of this guy before this vid no.
anybody who has nothing better to do than try to put someone down by saying that they didnt spell somthing right on PINKBIKE please get a f*cking life... -aik
dude your really givenr out there nice, but i wouldn't bender is history because he still went a lot bigger then that, props thou man
motomysz....your dumb...read the post, I did not say I was not impressed with his riding, just the fact that several people are amazed its on a hardtail. And sorry when I was riding like that BITD we did not care to take cameras, we went to just ride and have fun, now in the digital age it might be different, but no I dont get out and ride like that anymore. I happen to be quite older than you and have responsibilities such as children and a mortgage, I would love to get out and ride like I used to, but some things are more important. Oh and have you ever seen the x-games or ony of the bmx post on this site...... some of the bmx guys on this site have posted stuff just as big....
by the way....HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!
by the way....HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!

im not going to lie but i hate josh bender. 90 percent of his vids he is crashing. none the less, he is a pioneer and i respect that
if you watch djing vids of the dmr team and stuff they barely do tricks, all they really do is whip,x-up,tables and turndowns, nobody is really that bothered about tricks anymore
[Reply]
This guy is quiet a talent if you see this way, he dont got the monstewr bike bender was useing so it looks like he has 180mm of travel in the front and like 225mm travel in the rear and bender uses alot more in both. And i dont think bender´s that good caus he didnt make the landing in jaw drop. give this dude like 3-4 years and he will make that drop ;D. Nice video, VOD acording to me. Kepp it up.

awesome drops and riding, just goes to show that you don't need the latest and greatest gear to go big and have fun!
cant see why everyone slates hucking,99% of you wouldnt even think of doing some of the stuff this guy does,full suss or not.
at the end of the day it takes skill and some big balls to huck big stuff and as long as you enjoy thats all that matters.
and you cant say it doesnt look cool

hucking is the shit.
so is bender,
not so much history though.
hes riding again after he broke his back,
fully recouped.
expect to see some new drops from him on an insane bike sooner or later

bender is ridicoulous all he dous is get paid to bail and look hardcord, he has no style and he just loves riding the banshee scream!!!!!!!!!!
im sorry bender is so much better. that guy is a frickin legend man, he helped shape the big mountain scene in utah and the art of the huck.
i like the hardtail huckin goin on. i've got 1 of the frames there usin. its a STARK SHOOTER, its a good frame quite vertasile i think light aswell, obviously strong aswell. but good vid.
