I mean, if he were to mess up and fall before he hit the ground, he is pretty much guaranteed to never be able to ride again..

awl yea a flat spin 2360 on a 60+ foot gap isnt innovative at all... he is attempting 3 drops now... and has done some of the biggest jumps in the industry and cleaned them better than others... adn besides kid ur 8 years old... u dnt know anything

there is no "fatal" drop height .. 5 feet could be fatal If you fall wrong or hit your head.. possibly you're referring to the terminal velocity, which, for a human would be between 54 and 76 meters a second ( 162 to 230 feet a second ) and would take 15 to 23 seconds to achieve , depending on the falling body's orientation, and limb position .. that number is based on an unclothed body.

man i do no jah drop. i'm not trying to get any attention upon myself. unlike bender. he's got balls. that's it! does not have any style at all. he just hucks and my eyes don't wanna see that in MTB movie. this is my personal opinion. oh and bourdon i don't really like either but he is way above bender. the things he does are pretty big and gutsy but he can not put some style in it due to his height. he looks like he is fighting with the bike. Vanderham is underrated period. Athertons underrated. Josh Bryceland underated. Neil Donoghue underrated and i can go on. but yet again these are personal preferences and anyone has the right of opinion.

For being 26 yrs old, your ignorance on Bender surprises me.
