I'd imagine he doesn't have huge balls now they're trapped in that skinsuit.

*no one uses an intense downhill bike and skate shoes for speed run. i say photoshop*quote
you are a f*cking idiot anyoen who rides now that skate shoes are perfect for mtn biking because they have flat bottoms that match flat top pedals....and yeah he used a f*cking dh bike...what you want him to make the run on a POS?? you are a f*cking underdeveloped cumshot that needs to quit biking (if you even friggen bike)....i bet this is going to be a huge marketing boost for intense

oliefr (Sep 20, 2007 at 11:34)

can i say those shoes are skate style mountainbiking shoes, they have a big 661 logo on the side so its kinda obvious there not skate shoes made for skating, if that makes any sense :s

20

oliefr (Sep 20, 2007 at 11:35)

also aimed at ibloomfield btw

chrispaulmtb (Sep 20, 2007 at 11:58)

i really do think the guy was joking by the way

30

chrispaulmtb (Sep 20, 2007 at 12:01)

also you need to use a downhill bike at those speeds cause even a long bump you wouldnt normaly notice would throw you off. and great marketing too tho:P

notloc (Jan 28, 2008 at 13:59)

i would rather use a DH bike for a speed run, alot stronger so you dont have to worry about it snapping in half goin that fast lol

40

stever (Sep 19, 2007 at 12:36)

this is totally awesome. The video footage was amazing. Dude's definitely a hero to the speed-freaks.

watchmefly (Sep 20, 2007 at 2:56)

im faster. nice attempt though. just kidding thats fucking amazing what a gun

10

ctbiker888 (Sep 20, 2007 at 12:16)

yea thats feaking amazing. 3 things to share. that bloomfield whatever the hell his name is, is a complete numnuts, Second, those are 661 Filter shoes, they can be used for flats and spd pedals, Third that guy is freaking hauling ass down that hill.....IN THE SNOOW

20

suckafreedmr (Sep 20, 2007 at 16:55)

f*ck you ibloomfield, i give so much respect to riders who ride flat. All the pro racers are going all pussy with their fancy clipless pedals. Anyway sick ride, sick fork, sick shoes, and sick record. ARE THOSE XTR BRAKES?

10

suckafreedmr (Jan 28, 2008 at 15:51)

BTW those are XT brakes, the reason he is wearing 661 skate shoes is because he was rushed to do the record and didnt have time to put on his skin suit shoes. If he did, I'm sure he would have gone faster!

00

nfiorito (Oct 17, 2008 at 8:45)

I bet those shoes were a lot colder than his original ones.

slopestylejunkie (Dec 23, 2007 at 11:23)

for those who doesn't believe that he is riding in 210.4, and that if he would he wouldn't use a Intense DH bike, and he wouldn't wear 661 skate shoes, heres the vid : www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYrd5qwzPrA&NR=1

stinkyfreerider (Sep 20, 2007 at 7:46)

stopping must have been rediculos

11

gizmofreeride (Sep 20, 2007 at 21:17)

man,that is the speed of free fall,so it can't be broken any more,only if they improve the aerodynamics drastically,or they don't use bikes any more(they insert energy into the system~Newtons law)!!PROPS to him!!!

20

skawt-1 (Sep 24, 2007 at 13:53)

Yh i agree with elcripple. Cant you have a joke on this or must all be so serious?

But yeah that is petty siick

30

madeincanada (Oct 4, 2007 at 12:04)

this shoulda been POD for sure

10

freeridebigisland (Jan 28, 2008 at 1:34)

p.s. this pic is a great ad for intense, manitou, and 661. i'd say it's a good one for whatever brakes those are but i can't tell what they are.

oliefr (Sep 20, 2007 at 11:31)

10

freeridebigisland (Sep 20, 2007 at 13:11)

is the fork a manitou travis?!

10

dustingilding (Sep 20, 2007 at 19:07)

Yup the new model and its an intense M5 he's riding

00

dustingilding (Sep 20, 2007 at 19:11)

sorry it says M6 in the article but I could have sworn it said m5 on the prototype at Sea Otter

30

freeridetom (Sep 21, 2007 at 6:36)

(I can't confirm this/provide a source but...) Apparently Intense had to change the name as "M5" is Specialized latest aluminium.

Stoeckl's a hero, exactly what we need to draw attention to DH, and riding in general. Doing this on flats takes "Foot-out, flat-out" to a completely new level. Stay un-clipped!

ibloomfield (Nov 24, 2008 at 17:39)
