That man is the craziest thing ever to happen to mountain biking. GO BENDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

coaster156 (Mar 20, 2009 at 9:00)

the only reason he crashes is because he pulls up when going off the drop.

ridedabrodie (Mar 23, 2009 at 11:17)

does he know how to drop?

tonyradcliffe (Nov 11, 2009 at 16:16)

to sum it up, bender sucks. stop worshipping the guy.

mooseman414 (Nov 12, 2009 at 7:37)

adamdigby (Aug 13, 2008 at 10:41)

What channel # was this on? I saw that drop when i was in Utah and the landing is almost flat, he's one tough son of a bitch!

mooseman414 (Jan 11, 2009 at 15:12)

With direct TV. it is channel 603.

mooseman414 (Jan 11, 2009 at 15:13)

And the network is V.S

soilsample (Aug 13, 2008 at 10:58)

This guy is known for crashing his brains out and always has been known for that. I can count the number of times he has actually landed a jump on one, maybe two hands. He is damn tuff and has more guts than probably anyone else on this site though.

webber123 (Feb 15, 2009 at 15:34)

Proberbly more guts then most of the people in moutain biking today, alot go big, but dam bender goes huge.

he's tough but he sucks at biking all he does is hucks

Moron1777 (Oct 24, 2008 at 9:09)

dude i wanna see u even try the jaw drop or any thing hes got more balls then ull ever have,and dude u have to be good to even try that

mountainbika91023 (Nov 1, 2008 at 19:23)

did i say i had more balls than him and you don't neccesarily have to be good you just have to be in good shape

fugrus (Nov 7, 2008 at 13:37)

who cares mountainbika probably has jst as much skill as bender but he has alot more sense than to do things tht he cant land.

fugrus (Nov 7, 2008 at 13:38)

moron wat r u talkin about u dont need any skill to jump of a cliff

crzyirishman (Jan 8, 2009 at 20:14)

Pinner and mountainbika. have u douche bags ever tried any of the stuff that Bender does? No u havent so u cant talk trash about someone when you have no idea what its like to do they stuff that they do. So stop talking about things that u have no clue about.

fugrus (Jan 9, 2009 at 9:08)

fckin right i wouldnt try that stuf i have brains thank you very much.

crzyirishman (Jan 9, 2009 at 12:58)

Well you obviously dont have much because your grammar is horrible. And its not brains, it skill, determination, and balls that allow Bender to do the stuff that he does.

fugrus (Jan 10, 2009 at 11:24)

ohhhhh my grammar, that was quite the insult.
yes it takes skill to land drops but that isn't a frequent event in the life of josh bender.

crzyirishman (Jan 10, 2009 at 15:27)

Well I see that you took my advise about your grammar. Good job, Im so proud. Now shut up and stop watching videos if your just going to make negative comments on them.

Moron1777 (Jan 10, 2009 at 16:32)

pinner u just got owned and crzyirishman ur completely right

crzyirishman (Jan 11, 2009 at 10:42)

Thanks man.

fugrus (Jan 11, 2009 at 10:47)

moron watch ur grammar.

Moron1777 (Jan 11, 2009 at 12:39)

and u not being a douche is apperently the same as josh bender landing(no offence josh ur good)it never happens

crzyirishman (Jan 12, 2009 at 16:29)

Haha nice one Moron1777!

almightybenners (Jan 21, 2009 at 6:05)

ok bender probably want/isnt the greatest rider in the world but some of the stuff he hucked was crazily big and if you never try it how do you know that you can't do it? its still pretty damn impressive when he lands them (once in a blue f*cking moon lol!)

justcamiam (Oct 1, 2008 at 15:36)

fantaman (Oct 9, 2008 at 3:33)

The word legend doesn't always have a positive connotation.

norcoforever1234 (Nov 4, 2008 at 20:08)

Bender brought up the subject of huge a*s drops hes the only person ever to do the jaw drop he is a biking legend

fugrus (Jan 9, 2009 at 9:14)

he is also the only person to screw up the jaw drop

webber123 (Feb 15, 2009 at 15:37)

well, it is a 55ft drop to almost unlandable lander, love to see anyone land it really, benders a legand in moutain biking he pushed all the limits of what was possable on a bike.

nic1894 (Sep 28, 2009 at 6:16)

so he still landed it dumbass f*ck all u peeps saying shit bout bender u do the jaw drop then u can come back and say shit bout him but untill then shut the mother f*ckin hell up

freeriderjeff (Nov 20, 2008 at 7:43)

MorganG47 (Dec 19, 2008 at 7:13)

whats so good about watching people do huge drops id much rather watch someone with skill doing someththing smaller

[Reply]

fehn (Jan 22, 2009 at 17:10)

you could train a monkey to go what bender goes. Anyone can huck huge, few can land. Bender can't land, he is nothing special, just stupid.

michaeljoch (Mar 27, 2009 at 17:57)

I know I'll get neg props but I totally agree! Yes I give bender props for trying that stuff and not giving up, he has heart and determination not to mention the toughest mtber in the world, but he is not fun to watch unless you only like skilless carnage

Grandma (Nov 3, 2009 at 8:20)

if anyone can do it fehn and goes to all of you saying he has no skill or anyone can do it, i want to see a video of you hucking yourself over an untouched cliff of 35+ foot, prove anyone can do it by doing it yourself

michaeljoch (Nov 9, 2009 at 11:20)

If I had the balls and or stupidity of bender and the $$/sponsors for broken bikes I would
