VISION RAW- A segment from the full feature movie. Jump on board with the star of VISION Movie, Veronique Sandler as she hits the purpose-built VISION line in this raw segment from the full feature film.
These look like well shaped jumps, I am pretty sure that shitty little jumps in the bushes send more people to hospital than big lines. Ones like those in Friday fails. Big jumps tend to be safer than small ones. The only tricky thing I see there is the shark fins.
@ratedgg13: to be fair to Waki, he wasn't saying he could send them easily, he's just saying that badly built small jumps are more unsafe than well built bigger jumps. And he's right.
@ratedgg13: the bike always follows the lip, it just has to, you on the other hand have arms and legs that can bend or stiffen up in the right or wrong moment, in case of many beginners, arms get soft while legs are stiff. If the lip is too low and too short, while bike will want to go up, your body may want to keep going forward. When they meet at the end of the lip, the dead sailor is born. If the lip is big enough then no matter what you do, your body will finally be sent with same vector as the bike. To put it simply, low jumps require good timing of boosting a jump. Especially at higher speeds. Bushes all over the world are filled with 3-4ft tall steep lips with 6-8ft gaps, often with landings lower than take offs. As you ride at one your center of mass is at 3ft... it will want to go forward if you don’t do anything so the bike will bump it up.
@NelsonSunshine: Hey now, I once said the same but I think WAKI has toned down on the space explorer and toned up on the legit, albeit dense, conversation. Usually.
I've stood in the middle of those jump lines at Revs and they are impressive, took a few of us a good minute or so to work out the various lines down through them! Much bigger IRL than they look on camera.
On this topic - Pinkbike, please do a feature on trail building!
There are some genius creative solutions out there and some high budget failures as well.
I can't believe how some certain trails have no drainage of any kind what so ever and have puddles throughout the year.
At least 2,200 men can beat Serena Williams. She is the equivalent of an average male player in college.
