 Wicked no foot can variation!! Interesting choice of jumps to try it on though. The leg jam landing definitely adds style points and creativity. Extension could have been better, but great effort regardless. If I were a teacher (which I am clearly not), I would grade this trick combo at a B+. Congratulations!! I am out of gold stars unfortunately, so you will have to settle for an all expense paid trip....... to the hospital.

 I like the way he's thrown a whip into the mix... Whips always add style, so up to an A- ?

 I AGREE WITH FALLEN55. SOME KID'S LOGIC ON THIS SITE MAKE SENSE NEVER..

WHY DOES JUMPINGMAN HAVE SO MANY NEGATIVE VOTES? HE IS JUST AS SARCASTIC AS RECKLESSNESS.. I BET PEOPLE DON'T EVEN READ THESE COMMENTS AND JUST RANDOMLY CLICK UP OR DOWN HERE.

JUMPINGMAN, YOU GOT MY VOTE BRO.

 once the neg props start for someone, everyone jumps on the bandwagon and gives neg props
  • 12 3
 I am pretty sure jumpingman probably doesn't care much about his negative props. Mostly because props have no meaning and influence absolutely nothing that actually matters.

 I wish I could meet everyone that threw a negative vote at Spoonyman, Jumpingman, and Fallen55, face to face and ask them one simple question, "Do you even have a brain?"
  • 12 6
 I don't see why spoonyman got so many Negative props? He didn't say anything wrong did he.
  • 21 3
 I dont see why anyone cares

 368 (and counting) positive props vs 4 random haters = LOL.

Haters g'on hate.

 Cant everybody just stop arguing and wait for tommorows pod to come and bitch about that instead............? or even better just put a sock in it and only have positive comments to the photographer and rider....?
  • 5 1
 I'm with Allan. Why bitch about Picts you had nothing to do with. On the other hand I think any real rider has had one of those oh shit moments. and I mean real rider by who ever goes out and tries there hardest whether your on a walmart bike or a 2000 dollar norco. Don't matter what you ride as long as you have fun doing it.
  • 2 2
 i agree with nofootcanman why would anyone care

 If this was in the states he wouldn't be so lucky as to get his hospital trip as an all inclusive. Wink

 Shit! I made a mistake in my comment... talking like a real foreigner... god Frown
  • 1 2
 I think the fact my reply was actually relevant to the first comment and not just stuck onto the first comment so I'd be near the top may have been a little too complex and confused the neg proppers!
  • 1 1
 how does someone end up in that position
  • 1 1
 I'd say his front wheel washed out then hit that stump and sent is bike up and sideways

Anyone think Pinkbike should have a Most Proped and Most Negative Proped comment of the week, month maybe? lol

 FINALLY a POD without a $1300 camera and adjusted saturation shot by a regular person. a picture that everyone can relate to.
  • 14 14
 Whilst I agree with your attitude, the camera that took this will be well over $1300 including lenses. It's a video screenshot, hence the 1920x1080 frame size
  • 38 14
 gay ^^
  • 18 10
 Doorknob, You're so dumb, a screenshot is a pic of a video.. lets understand that, so you're assuming a $1300 camera or lower was being used, where you maybe right, you're probably not, if you look in the photos of silvia films profile it'll show they use a 7d or 5d mark 2. Costing roughly $1700-$2900 plus whatever lens they used, which will more than likely be a high end expensive bit of glass.

So calling Elliot gay from fizzy, get your fact right before even thinking you know what you're on about. You dont.
  • 8 3
 played.
  • 8 6
 If anyone is dumb, it is troyster-dockree. Give the guy a break. He was just pointing out that not every POD needs to be of the highest quality.
  • 7 1
 I think everyone needs to enjoy a nice chilled tea. I think everyone agrees that they like the fact that this isn't a professional awesome picture, it's a cool picture taken by some bikers.
  • 7 1
 I think I am dumb because I don't understand the need for being an Internet tough guy about cameras.
  • 1 3
 wlliot of course this is a professional photo ,it was a screen shot from 'silvia'!
  • 4 1
 Holy crap my wife doesn't even bitch this much when she is on her rag. Grow up and talk a out the pict not what camera was used or how much it cost. Don't think that was the point.
  • 1 1
 I'm so dumb? I know what a screenshot is. Let's figure out who your insulting, me or fizzy.

 whoa dont get shitty.. all i said was gay.. chill the f*ck down...

 I love that this is still going on. haha

 ive seen how fast this guy goes so lets hope this was a really really slow section of trail...
  • 4 1
 We can hope, but does that look like a slow crash to you?
  • 8 1
 He tried to work out how to make it round the track, but was stumped.
  • 8 2
 I think ur doing it wrong...
  • 5 2
 Bummer... sometimes it is a bad idea going out in a tee without elbow guards or a chest protector! You never know what you run into until it happens. Be smart always be prepared.
  • 1 1
 yeah, it's real drag wearing it but worth it I think
  • 1 1
 Yup I forgot my armor yesterday and maimed my right arm

 i find it funny all the comments made about Karls crash , considering these are the guys that do Silvia films that evryone raves about..half of you guys would be hard pressed to follow either of these guys down any trail..Karl hope you ok bud and keep shredin hard!
  • 2 1
 How often do you get to see a picture of what exactly went wrong before you bailed? Must be kinda cool, especially one that totally captures the point of no return :p hope the guy's okay!

 ah yes, the leg jam into shitting bricks trick, classic
  • 2 2
 wow, that looks terrible.. Hope the dude is okay!!

 Hey Tyler I .can see what your saying About the lighting, if I come over and Sort the lights out for the shot, would Guys have another. Crack at it. Good observant and attention for Detail though bro re the light
  • 1 1
 I think many people should just learn to have their own opinion, including giving props, instead of just doing what the majority does, c'mon guys this is the point of Pinkbike, be yourself! Smile
  • 1 1
 pay attention everybody. notice his commitment. he has not yielded the grip on his handle bars. This man reminds me of my own silly commitment even when the Earth, Gravity, or if my Giante (aka Giant) disagree's with me lol
  • 1 1
 awh fuck i feel his pain his back mustof been fucked when he landed id say he wears body-protection now even tho body-protection feels ''gay'' its worth the hastle of wearing it.....
  • 3 1
 That looks NASTY as hell, I really hope the rider is ok??.
  • 3 1
 fuck, at least he wasnt clipped in haha, now that would be bad
  • 2 2
 i dunno, being clipped in probably would have saved his leg from getting caught between the wheel
  • 1 1
 looks like we dont know how clipless petals release do we?
  • 1 1
 me or him? considering i ride clipless.
  • 1 1
 hope he doesn't have sharp platform pedals. the pedal on the other side could rip him a new one. hope he limped away from that one okay.

 at least it was filmed bad or good after you get better thats when the laughing begins thats a pic to put in the garage right above your bike

 That can't be good for you then :\ But on the other hand, He's taking the no foot can to a whole new level!
  • 1 1
 Yeah it was pretty much the same thing except I was upside down at that point and slamming into another tree with my shoulder probably 6 feet off the ground, and then I fell on my head, and then the bike fell on me and impaled me. Look at my 2011 album.
