I know right! I clicked on here just to say how fun it is that someone wrote "unfathomably huge" on the video thingy and how great it was, never mind the video. Now I have to go watch it...
They make it look so effortless but the forces going into each lip at that speed must be huge... I love to hear one of them talk through what its like and the technique. I guess they just stay really strong and balanced into each takeoff with really firm suspension to avoid getting unbalanced off the lip and once in the air they have loads of time to move the bike around before getting ready to hit the ground again. Mental commitment and trust in the shaper required - good job its Nico!
That was blew our mind the first year of that event... 3 riders in the air, at the same time, on the same jumps, at some meters apart ... It's still the case in this video, and it's still insane how big it is
