 Is that the first frontflip tailwhip landed on dirt by a mtb26"? I actually remember him doing it months ago at Whistler..
Also, anyone notice that his brake is placed super close to the stem and he holds his bar really close as well?

 Front Flip Tail Whip? ;o
  • 18 1
 AND it was preceded by a double back flip and a flip barspin. That was the most impressive riding i have seen in a while. Benny you are the Man!

 or there was the back flip bar spin to tail whip
  • 6 1
 That was basically the sickest dirt jump run ever pulled on a mtb.
  • 1 0
 Don't think I'd argue with that- Best run ever imo. If I was ultra critical I'd say it would have been an even better run if he'd thrown one of his many 360 variations on the middle kicker! Then we're talking the Holy Grail as far as I'm concerned. Amazing.
  • 17 1
 That shit's crazy and props to Benny for throwing down so hard but style before tricks any day imo.
Aussie pride though Big Grin
  • 3 1
 Hes no Soderstrom but he has his own style. It may be a little wild, but that seems like the kind of personality he has, and style is an extension of who a person is.

 those tricks were the most amazing thing ever... but the run wasnt done complete, you can see that when he does the frontflip tailwhip they change the clip. al the same wildest trick ever!
