Looks like the guy is a good rider judging from some of the other pics. But why purposely skid through a burm so you can kick up some roost for the camera?? Just a shitty thing to do to someone's trails.
Look again at his levers-they aren't pulled. He's just brapping along and is able to slide his bike around-looks kinda neat and considering he works on the trails, I'm sure he'll be putting in the repair time later on too.
