call me dum or give me neg props but i don't care
how did he bottom out on a small jump like that!
i have seen (u probly have to) a double road gap here on pinkbike and he doesn't bottom out-so how does this guy manage to off a small jump like that

fantastic timing and perfect clarity - check out the weird body position though - no wonder he bottomed on a small drop. Normally when you flat-land a jump you drop your ass down behind the seat to absorb some of the impact.

Man that terrain must be so much gnarlier that it looks in order to bottom out a bike like that.

sourcenorco17, gtfo. dont pretend like you enjoy getting negative props. we all know you're pissed off about it, but since you want to show us that you're not you go and say "sweet i finally got -10 props". that just made it more obvious that you're probably tearing over it right now.

race was in Indonesia, photographer is Indonesian, the guy who posted the pic is Indonesian.
BUT, the rider is Singaporean, and the team he is from is based in Malaysia.
talk about international huh....

Not really. Notice how all 3 are in the same area, not to mention in a space probably less than the size of any State or Province. And how singapore used to actually be a part of Malaysia.
Being part Malaysian this REALLY makes me want to go there for winters (never actually lived there). It seems like that area gets some mad support for DH, they have some really interesting terrain. But instead I'm stuck here in a foot of snow. damnit.

still 3 different countries, hence international.
if you still think singapore is anything close to what malaysia is like.... you are have been very misinformed my friend. they are 3 very very different countries, but its amazing how the race scenes are very closely tied.
i am malaysian, just studying in the uk for uni. give me a shout if you are ever plan to visit malaysia.

btw,..wat happen was,..there is big rock that u can use as a launcher..and u'll land in another rock (unfortunately),.And coz of the speed u carry from the top u dont want to go too fast as u'll missed the landing and u'll hit a pine tree (so i guess the photographer hide behind it)..so i guess he went too hot,missed the receiver,brakes and tried to avoid the pine tree,.i guess he managed to be in one piece till the finish line,.But gosh,cant believe the impact!!..cheers

There's a few people people, further away in the pic with a look of amazement on their faces... It looks like there's 2 rocks, it looks like the kicker or whatever he hit was pretty far away, and who knows how high up it shot him?? Example.
I ride sled, saw a driveway gap jump one day while I was out riding. This perfect looking driveway jump, nice kick to it and good landing. So I go back and line up, get some decent speed. I go to hit it and turns out there is a cinder block wall under the 'perfect looking jump'. It kicked me up so high that I thought I was gonna break my back comin back down. It over shot me at least 20 feet and I can't even put a number on how high it was.. I landed it fine, creating a massive crater in the semi hard pack trail, it looked pretty neat when I went back to check out what happened..
Either way, this is an amazing picture and one helluva POD.

you guys don't know what your talking about!!! it's supposed to do that it just looks like it's bad becaus of the time of the pic whenever you drop off somthing your tires do that and he just likes his fork nice and soft low comp. he always puts his foot down when he hits it's way of making sure he's back on solid ground! take it from me i know what im talking about. i'm kinda a pro!
i agree with you

why the hell is he gripping both brakes on impact ? now its obvious why he's bottomed out so intensely hahah
- 1 1
probably because he's going really fast, the reason he overcleared and bottomed out in the first place?
