@mbjumper ... no, he's actually whiping off a drop and there's this secret passage that he's about to land in... he's probs just not as fast as them and doesn't want to slow them up...
to be honest with you suckmemagicwand (nice name by the way made me laugh cause when i had to spell itout haha) back in the day when i was prime mountian biking i never did once second guess something, i was what you call the guinea pig, couldnt tell you all the bones i broke though hahaa
dirtjumper771, dude ya broke 8 bones in 11 places, now thats intense i ruined my shoulders not too long ago and that was my worst injury dislocated my right, i seperated my left and broke my clavicle in 2 places and dettached all my legiments all in one crash (wasnt painful just annoying pain couldnt move) my injuries are from mtb and mx though, i blew appart my right ankle twice, shattered knee cap, broke tibula and fibula (only hurt for not even an hour) uhh what else ahaha i broke my arm digging (lmao i fell backwards down a hill and landed on my arm with my back that didnt even hurt just in shock) but thats it i guess its nto as much as i thought
Dude, sick! I broke my elbow and humourous in one crash on my bmx, needed suregery (2 plates and 13 screws), I broke my leg (tib/ fib) in mx, my foot (4 bones) mx, i dislocated my right shoulder, my hip, (my right leg was 6 inches longer than my left. I didnt have crutces with me so i put that leg on part of my bike and pushed myself around using my good leg), and that was from mx (i got landed on by apparently 9 different bikes. Spectators told me XD), and i have ;lacerated my spleen, i got punched for that one. But arthritis is gonna suck, aint it
ohh ouch dude a hip injury would suuuck i seen one guy at on a trail hit a rock get bucked off over the bars and go into the trees, he broke his hip to ( and i htink his femur or something) but i never heard a guy yell so hard in my life hahh had to cut his pants off. i think that wouldbe one of the worst to break props dude. where abouts do yah race i race b class in atlantic canada but my passions fmx just started ramping only race for fun,cheers homie!
This was already pod. Plus its not even his photography.
The dust by the roders in the back is cool but the light infront of the front rider... Not so much
That's the best looking train i've ever seen,all because of a camera,nice one Neil Thompson, you caught this shot to perfection,the light through the trees,riders focosed on the rocks and roots,of what loox like a pretty tricky section,props to the photag. Gringo.
If anyone wants to see some video footage from the track pictured, I have a little web series that I am making at the moment called The Premier State. Episode 2 is at the track pictured and it can be found here: www.pinkbike.com/video/132069
Also, an interview in Episode 3 with the photographer of the picture, Neil Thompson, can be found here in Episode 3 at Mt Stromlo: www.pinkbike.com/video/138861
I guess this is over east in Aus, looks like I might have to pack the DH rig into the hilux and head over there, looks like awesome fun... if you pick the right line haha
the pros pick all the hardest but fastes lines, id prob go way right (stage right not audience right) looks safe but who knows what u cant see in this pic..
yeah, its a thing thats going on over here. one WC rider says that he can "feel the bike better when hes not wearing gloves" so everyone does it. but yeah, some peope do like it better without gloves.
Just so you know mate, Painey, the first guy, is one of the quickest elites in the state, and Jack, the second rider, is 16 and usually gets times fast enough for top 5 in elites
No Its not my photo but I think it is great. I posted it because I think Neil is a great photographer and he deserves some credit for it. He goes to every race and spends 2 full days taking photos of every one. Then he spends weeks going through them and giving them to anybody who asks for one. Do you know how long it takes going through 1000 photos looking for a single race number or going of a discription someone has emailed you. Not every one is going to like every POD but most seem to like this one.
Dont get me wrong
its a great photo
i was just saying that i seem to see loads of photo that are taken by other people.
oh and yes, i do know what its lie going through thousands of photos.
thats what i do
hahaha
