Would have been a brown waterfall if I was hittin it! haha!

BikeNERD007 (Jul 9, 2012 at 0:37)

It would also be a red landing

downhillbmxican (Jul 9, 2012 at 0:57)

case pad is two tires... not too shabby.

TYAQO (Jul 9, 2012 at 2:20)

Grande foto, a representar bem o nosso país !

alex-h (Jul 9, 2012 at 6:05)

I totally didn't notice the landing. Thought he was hucking to flat at first!

Fooooguete (Jul 9, 2012 at 7:20)

awesome race, heres the VOD » www.pinkbike.com/video/265690

Bills-Bike-Tools (Jul 9, 2012 at 7:26)

Very unique shot. Good job.

TomMurphy (Jul 9, 2012 at 9:32)

I like those lights in the background

DAOPB9 (Jul 9, 2012 at 10:11)

Actually the case pad is three tires

rippin-norco (Jul 9, 2012 at 16:21)

and a little rubber mat that will totally stop a human being and a bike

jgroundt (Jul 9, 2012 at 0:03)

how do you say STOKED in portuguese...

BikeNERD007 (Jul 9, 2012 at 0:42) (Below Threshold)

How do you say this guys ate shit In Portuguese

TYAQO (Jul 9, 2012 at 2:22)

You can say, "espatado" or " excitado" but there isnt a real translation from english to portuguese...

flowyridestilltherestofmylife (Jul 9, 2012 at 2:45)

Hmmm... Too bad. We`ll just have to make one up: ESTOKADO. It does sound portuguese, doesen`t it?

estica (Jul 9, 2012 at 2:56)

haha yes it sounds

kinggwarn (Jul 9, 2012 at 3:59)

I am estokado! This is so sick!

Fooooguete (Jul 9, 2012 at 7:11)

ya sounds nice, estocado..

but the right translation for stoked:

EPÁ PASSEI-ME!

PatrikPinto (Jul 9, 2012 at 3:59)

I think this is best - www.pinkbike.com/photo/8343774

bikeracer28 (Jul 9, 2012 at 6:43)

tomcrowther (Jul 9, 2012 at 1:52)

manuesi (Jul 9, 2012 at 2:08)

r8mac24 (Jul 9, 2012 at 6:53)

any reason for these bikes bottoming out like this? set up too soft or landing not steep enough?

mtbman12345 (Jul 9, 2012 at 7:14)

suspension is made to bottom out

dtaylo27 (Jul 9, 2012 at 7:19)

because they're hucking it off a waterfall?

Draggon (Jul 9, 2012 at 9:22)

Because gravity never takes a day off....

prurient-possum (Jul 9, 2012 at 10:00)

r8mac24- you'd actually be surprised how often your suspension bottoms out. You don't notice it because it's so quick, but properly set up suspension should bottom out on an average ride a couple times.

danmaran (Jul 9, 2012 at 3:32)

Those two tyres would definitely stop anyone from ka-knackling themselves.....For sure!!!! Someone forgot to do a very obvious risk assessment here.

mtbfoto (Jul 9, 2012 at 4:34)

Parabens Ze. Mais um POD tuga hehehe CARREGA PORTUGAL

nazmi (Jul 9, 2012 at 0:04)
