Mikey Sylvestri had a wild week down in Bootleg Canyon in for Nevada State Championships and kicked it off with this gap over the Five Ten van on one of the lower road gaps, check out the video to see how rowdy the course really was. Big thanks to Five Ten and DVO Suspension for helping put on a great event. I can't wait to get back there and document more of this madness! Follow us on Pinkbike and stay updated with the latest shenanigans.

 It doesn't look like he jumped "over" the five ten bus

 Um.. What? Many people have been jumping over that road gap daily. Five -ten was there with the Sprinter and Mikey can clear that easily. Not sure why you think it's fake?

 The van is clearly parked next to the line he jumps over, and not between the takeoff & landing. So irrespective of whether he went high enough, he did not jump over the van because it wasn't beneath him. Besides, if you look at his flight transition he looks like he'd have landed on the roof.

 @downhillmike I am one hundred percent positive that he is indeed hitting the full gap as well as a lot of other riders, I am not doubting that. I'm saying that he is not jumping over the five-ten van. I'm not entirely sure how my original comment confused you.

 The worst part is we were laughing about how some people on pinkbike were going to freak out because he was two or three feet behind it not over it. Relax and enjoy, there is probably a really good reason he didn't jump directly over it, like uhhh, the fact he would clip his rear tire on the roof and grind his face down on some bootleg rock! Its simply some promotion for the company that supported us on the trip, we arent here to trick you.

 Well maybe maybe it would be wise not put stuff like... "kicked it off with this gap OVER the Five Ten van", then there would be no reason to suspect a possible freak out by pink bikers. However, I'm glad you guys got a laugh out of it!

 Bootleg is a freaky place. the top section makes you feel like a bail will mean tumbling off a 100ft cliff.
