@ lukachadwick: nah, pretty sure a serious statement. Not possible to train that!

Pretty sure the neg proppers knew it was a joke... they just didn't find it funny..
But I found it hilarious! +1!

I love the sequence shot but I don't really feel that this angle gives the length of the gap quite its full justice.

Gotta love a sequence of such a badass flip from one of the most, if not the most badass riders out there!

Cam Zink using the mysterious power of pyramids... flipping the illuminati is badass

cam did such a good job of getting paid for doing backflips

VTwintips (Sep 15, 2014 at 9:47)

Isn't he one of the main people complaining about how little payment extreme mountain bikers get paid? Maybe he makes a decent living, and feels like he deserves to be a millionaire, but I sort of doubt it.

csermonet (Sep 15, 2014 at 20:40)

his complaint is the pay that the top mtb athletes get compared to the top athletes of other action sports. in terms of risk vs reward the top mountain bikers are risking just as much, if not more, than the top bmx, surfing, moto, snowboarders, etc. sponsors pay according to exposure though, and mountain biking is not anywhere near as popular as the others in terms of raw numbers. unfortunate situation, but the truth. Cam is spear heading the arrival of mountain biking to the main stream though, have to commend that.

yournemesis (Sep 16, 2014 at 15:17)

no full respect to him. hes killing it

carlosamigo (Sep 15, 2014 at 10:18)

It's definitely a case of cams riding that made this photo pod. The angle isn't that interesting but can makes up for that with pure gnar.

so long that his buffer ran out! ha ha
