 This reminds me of that one time I never did anything like this, so I lived vicariously through Danny...again.

 what really kills me is the POV rolling towards the edge and then hitting the brakes. palms are sweaty ...

 I must say Danny was nervous, but I reckon on the surface he was calm and ready...

 "I don't know why I'm so scared" I can tell you. Because that is freaking scary.

 When I watched this video for the first time and saw this drop, I stopped breathing.

 At first i was like woaw thats a big one. But it's into water so there s no danger at all (which is cool!!). So personnallyit felt a LOT safer than all the other unhealty lines in the rest of the video
  • 32 2
 @RedBurn: Water hurts when you hit it. I'd say there is plenty of danger. At the very least, theres a high probably of racking your nuts off the bike frame.

 Yeh mate, nobody has ever drowned in water before.
  • 21 1
 @RedBurn: My mate broke his back hitting the ocean.

 @RedBurn: There is no danger at all?!?! Clearly you have no idea of what you're talking about... But I still agree that some lines are scarier than this jump.

 @RedBurn: guys don't throw too much shade, it's clear that redburn lives in the middle of a desert, that's all.

 @ouchy: wow great story

 @RedBurn: As long as he didn't hit the rocks, or the shallows, or get his balls blown of on impact. Yeah, unless all that it was a walk in the park. Sheesh.

 I realise I might have exagerated .. there is danger for sure but i just meant less than the other segments .. where he s riding on the edge of a 20meters building without safety (fool .... hope he doesnt end like Martyn Ashton)... Concrete is harder than water believe me... he doesnt have second chances there

 But you finally started to breathe again. Good. You could suffocate. Just watching the video is deadly.
  • 4 2
 @RedBurn: At first i was like woaw nobody would ever comment on how there s no danger at all jumping into water - I was wrong again. Sorry - just taking the piss.

 @RedBurn: when you jump from a big enough height, hitting the water is the same as hitting concrete
  • 7 0
 it was solid that he knew how to judge the speed of the rotation. front flipping at that much height and not landing face first into the sea was mad skill! i can't believe he didn't just regular air a practice run before the front flip.

 wow, he actually did land nose heavy, face must be stinging!

 Watching them take down the wooden ramp at 2:50 is the scariest part.

 Huge drop and huge commitment! Reminds me of every time you test a new ramp or drop that no one's ridden before and there's no way to decide if it's really going to work. Water is a bit of a safety net for sure, but it will hurt like anything if you happen to mess up and belly flop!

 Danny is the man! He is definitely a Soul id 100 (soulid.me/features/athletes) worthy athlete. Hopefully they will announce him soon because he continues hit jumps that make me hold my breath.

 @RedBurn: Just trying to work out if you are a troll or massively retarded? Obviously you can still have a lot go wrong jumping into water that far, out over a stretch of rock.
Inbreeding is bad m'kay?

 I would rather take the jump than taking all the PB tracking cookies you would have to watching the video.

 "Uhh not high, like this kinda height"...haha just goes to show, its really about just sending it. No math or measurement. Lol

 How did he not break his wrists as he hit the water front wheel first, let alone smash his enormous trouser ornaments on the stem?

 Them subtitles. Just nonsense.

 how is the bike floating after?!?

 I was wondering the same thing...
  • 17 0
 He uses a special lighter than water substance. Its genius really, you get an ordinary pump and connect it to a valve on your wheels. Then using an up/down, in/out motion it magically fills the tyres with the super floaty magic substance. I've been trying to get some for myself but I can't find it anywhere....

 I think you'll find his bike was resting on his big scrotum !! you gotta have a massive pair to pull that shit off.
  • 1 2
 @Cefn: mildly amusing but if it was air (or even helium) in the tires the bike would not be floating flat on the surface, it would be upside down (wheels up). It's likely airbags in the frame...

 @TheDoctoRR: you really care about these things don't you?

 Apparently kids these days don't know fuck all about Bender!!! Shit you could have paid me half of what they paid Danny to do this shit. Oh no he's jumping into water sooooo scary!!!! Lmao gtfoh!!!

 @mhoshal: bender hucked himself off enormous cliffs on a huge RM9. Usually racking up more time in hospitals then landing stunts. Actually other than landing occasionally, bender never threw a flip off anything other than his bike.
  • 1 0
 @Subhumanz: guys like Bender paved the way buddy crashing or not he was pushing boundaries no one else even wanted to come close to. Shit you've got guys doing 360's off of 75ft drops now a days so tell me again how this is supposed to be so impressive.
