Now heres someone who's not afraid to hit massive stuff! We should all use him as an example to "GO BIG"!
- + 10 Show
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.
- + 7 Show
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...
- + 5 Show
Those we're f*cking huge. A parachute would be a worthy piece of safety equipment for some of those drops!

That was a sick a** vid that you maid and by the way that was a full suspention bike right.

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

you would break your ankles if you did the jah drop on a hardtail. don't even bother arguing.

yh nice one for doing those drops. but the whole huck side of mountainbiking went with josh bender.
- + 31 Show
Too bad it did mate... that was freeriding not this whole slopestyle stuff... it looks cool but it's just BMXing with bigger bikes
- - 140 Show
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!
- - 73 Show
i agree that there is no place for hucking anymore. its just not fun to watch or do, and really doesnt take much skill
- + 29 Show
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"
- + 39 Show
All i say is that aslong as you go ou and enjoy riding your bike, who cares what type of riding you do.
- - 36 Show
Hucking stuff is g*y, specially when your doing it on a hardtail, djing123 is so right. this is not a vod worthy video.
- + 88 Show
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!

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.
- + 6 Show
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!

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

Russian Stark Shooter + Russian Vodochka = Hucking.
Benderoni- Respect, dude!
Our country have many heros on MTB and BMX.

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

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.

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!!!!

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
