My picks to win were Remy and Nico. I didn't expect any of the World Cup guys to come close but Masters really sent it. Props to Nico for going all-in and landing nose first tho, ballsy move.
@endurogan: I thought if he had picked it up to come in leveled off, he might have got more distance on the front one, not the rear. I didn't know it was measured from where the rear touched. I thought it was which ever tire came down first. Sorry, my mistake.
Rad! It wouldn’t be too hard for WBP to shape an ideal jump/landing to make the long jump an official crankworx event. This is more entertaining to me as pump track racing or speed and style.
@jjalessi: I agree I thought this was great. And we all know you need to be named Rennie to hold the official long jump record; and not of the Nathan variety unfortunately. I think this Pinkbike version is way better.
Who hasn't boosted a long jump comp at some time, flying over people in the school yard as a dirty little kid was the start of it for many.
This looked fun and i gotta say i had my money on Nico even though they are all guns.
@Rucker10: My neighbour is building a new fence for his yard, should i forward the picture so you can send to your boss when you tell him "Canada built a wall, sorry wont be at work on Monday?"
@endurogan: more speed because of more weight. Longer flight because of more accelerated mass in the air. That makes up for the pop i presume. FMX does not fly because of pop, but because of speed and mass.
@Lasse2000: they do accelerate off the lip which makes it pop the exact opposite of what an ebike would do being that theyre pedal assist it would decelerate extremely going up the lip of a jump that size
Well done Pinkbike.
...I'll be here as well
