Breaking in the new drop line on SLF. Its got a super butter landing if you can avoid the large rocks, stump and a couple holes near the run out. Riding with no lights and getting blinded by the remote flash. Thumbs up!!

I couldn't imagine "Hey, let's jump off this ledge in the dark, then we can really make it even better by blinding ourselves with a triggered flash so it totally blinds us before we land...maybe it will make POD on pinkbike!" Hahaha, way awesome. Killer drop.
You are the winner 4 basically telling that shot like it was. I just didn't realize how bright the flash was going to be. I honestly shouldn't have road that one out cuz I was 100% blind mid air. And the run out was not too friendly when your blind.
maybe next time you could move those stumps put some dirt on the tranny of logs that's sitting there with a bunch of shovels next to it and help finish up the line rather than just poaching it =)
So next time your riding lower slf you can ride the trail a lot easier. The second double is butter now and I moved some rocks on the rock roll or drop. If you can ride it soon there is fresh moss on the top.
pretty good picture, i wish that the lighting in the lower left and corner wasnt there, think it would have been better to have the light out of the frame and have the lower left hand corner blacked out possible...just my thought, but props pretty sick shot
photoshop darken brush over the totally blown out section from the remote flash. you can see the gradient change at the tree. Im much more impressed by the rider, thats a wicked drop. props to the crazy SOB for doing that in the dark haha.
You and me both, I was shocked it made pod. The picture really didn't turn out the way I wanted. I must say though, it gave me the biggest Adreneline rush I have ever had.
