That is some intense video. My balls got bigger just watching it.... (LOL)

Looks like the stakes are high for a crash on that course.

Be safe and good luck.

DAMN THAT FIRT CRASH WAS SCARY AS HELL when you were falling did you think something REALLY bad was gunna happen?

simcik (Jul 2, 2011 at 13:23)

No, I missed a few awesome things last summer so I almost always have my cam on, plus I want to get as much footage as possible to put together good edits for on here. I didnt think it was going to go bad, just no where near enough brakes before that jump, all good though

That's a crazy slopestyle course.....lots of DH aspects to it and lots of line choices like "Rampage"....I like it....Sweet Edit Nick!!!

Props for getting through this gnarly course. You didnt seem too confident though. I was scared for you.

Were you wishing you had a TR450 on that course at all? I know the 250`s are super dope and all, but did you wish for abit more travel?

simcik (Jul 5, 2011 at 14:40)

I have not ridden a 450. I thought my 250 was absolutely perfect for the course. Some of the guys on DH bikes were a bit faster through the super steep rough stuff, but all of those guys have raced world cups in the past, I have not. lol. When I go back next year, I am not yet sure what I will take, but I dont think you could go wrong with either of them there. I will probably take my 250 again. The wheelbase and headangle were more than fine for the course and I had it in the middle settings, not all the way slack and low

Trekfueler (Jul 5, 2011 at 14:55)

Well you did great. Thanks for the reply. Keep on shreddin. Give a 450 a ride sometime though.
