 That's how you spend $1k. Money goes straight to the riders and I'd watch another video like that any time.

Well done Pinkbike.

 Just dicking around on bikes doing random stuff is always a good time!

 Huh, don't remember getting my invitation. Must have went to my spam folder.

 I enjoyed that.

 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.

 Had he not nosed in - he would have picked up another two feet or so.

 @neimbc: his rear tire would have landed first that would mean and last time i checked my rear tire was close to a meter behind my front tire
  • 7 3
 @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.
  • 2 0
 @neimbc: I'm pretty sure it is whichever tire lands farther back, which is why nosing in is the best strategy.

 @millsr4: OK, Thanks. I am taking a beating here!

 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.

 The best part about this is that it’s unofficially official. Just dudes in the woods throwing down.
  • 7 1
 @jjalessi: Yeah... that's a great point. Even still, it'd make for a fun main even too.
  • 1 0
 @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.

 Man I think the thing that makes this video cool is the amount of fun and laughing with everyone. That's the kind of riding I like

 This is the moment I learned I was a punter when I recognized Paul but not a single Pro in the vid.

 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.

 Just shows you how strong bikes are now, as this is quite a flat /harsh landing on 50 feet plus jump!
