Sequence Saturday 38
 | Yeah I had been looking at this monster for a few years before I hit it, I had always driven by it contemplating if I should build it. I think I just needed another opinion and someone to convince me to Tee Er UP.. So I brought my good bud Mitch Cheek out to get his input, and that's all it took. It couldn't have gone any better, perfect Build!! Keep an eye out for another web edit this spring with this beast in it.... Round Two! - James Doerfling |

PAST WINNERS
Sequence Saturday 15 - Erik Hölperl's sequence of Martin doing a 180 stair to 180 whip down stairs. The winner is theheckler with this combo comment:
| It's all about the combos. If you gotta make it a double, make it a double, if you gotta make it a triple, make it a triple. If you gotta throw a PHAT bar hump to no foot can to side saddle lander to flat, throw it. You gotta do what you gotta do. Enough is never enough. 180 to ninja people disappearing to fakie tailwhip is something. But this guys not doin it for the hustle. You gotta really want it. When it comes to throwing down insanely dope combos, no matter what you are doing, you are not doing enough. so make it a double and add 9 bar spins. May the combo be with you. |

Sequence Saturday 23 - Christoph Laue's sequence of Andreu Lacondeguy with his almost trademark stretched out superman at last year's Red Bull District Ride. This was another hard one to pick, with more than a few good comments to choose from. If you haven't figured it out yet winning has nothing to do with props, but more with making a well thought out articulate comment. This weeks winner is deggzy with this comment that mentions things getting bigger along the lines of Rampage, which was huge this year:
| It's amazing to think how in a few years ago we were all being amazed at people doing a single backflip, i mean there still pretty damn cool and i cant do one! but then closer to the present at double back flips and front flips! i think the fuure of dirt jumping will go further to more natural terrain as there are bigger lines to be ridden out there. bigger lines = bigger tricks, who knows what the future will hold! i also think more events will start turning into towards like the Rampage where you either go big or get lost! |
deggzy wins a EVOC Freeride 16L CC series riding pack.
Sequence Saturday 24 - Ian Hylands' sequence of Mike Montgomery flairing the channel at Jumpship last year. The winner is fitzy96 with this comment:
| Wow that flair he set off went so high!!!! But now he's gonna have to explain to the rescue boat why he wasted their time... Awkward |
fitzy96 wins a EVOC Freeride Women's 20L series riding pack.

Who saw 15 foot hucks as lame.
He was a rear wheel-bender, 50ft sender who seemingly felt no pain.
One day he went off a drop,
So huge it made eyes pop, jaws drop, and suspension go
*pop*
Thirty feet!.. hucked from trees!
Thirty feet.. that hit's obscene..
Thirty feet!.. check that steeze!
Thirty feet and he stuck it clean..thirty feet and he stuck it clean...
Would a Canuck huck
If a Canuck
Could huck stuff?
The answer is a large amount.
vf^2 = 0 + 2 (10 m/s/s)( 15 m)
vf^2 = 300 m/s
vf = 17.3 m/s or 62.28 km/ hr (downward velocity upon landing) or for the U.S. folks... 37.3 miles / hr
I am ignoring wind resistance
because the laws of physics
Doerfling broke in this instance
vf^2 = V^2 + 2ad
vf^2 = 300 m^2/s^2
Or was this a troll to see who would correct it
Doerfling is one of my favorite riders but I agree he cannot not truly break the laws of physics...but these laws would break 90% of the riders on here if they tried this move. I also did this quickly in an attempt to win a new pack.
If there was a contest for geekiest post on here we would definitely be in the lead.
3^2+17.3^2=295.84
square root ~ 17.6
sinθ=17.3/17.6
θ=79degrees
∴ vf= 17.6m/s or 63.36km/h [away from the cliff, 79 degrees down]
pretty funny. sqrt(m^2/s^2) => m/s. sqrt(m/s) => m^.5/s^.5 never seen this before - referring to Vf^2 = 300 m/s (oops). 16 years in engineering. Cannot help but joke. Yeah I'm a nerd. But at least I like bikes and this vid!!
What a cool video!! Who cares about the units! Maybe Doerfling operates in an alternate reality where velocity is expressed in sqrt(m/s) and that is why he is so good!! Or sqrt(m/s) = BALLS!
the wooded hill in the background of the photo above. Hiking or biking out after a day
of building we often talked about James and his insane drop. James Doerfling, John Welburn
and Mitch Cheek inspire our mtb community and hopefully all of you P.B users out there.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
There's a handful of riders, who know how to fly,
James is their leader, he sails through the sky.
Once he takes off and launches his bike,
Welburn stands by to capture the ride.
On Pinkbike he posts, for the world to see,
James is a mtb hall-of-fame inductee.
He scouts for big drops in BC and abroad,
when he sends them, we all watch and applaud.
The trail never ends for James and his crew,
nothing's to steep, to big or tabu.
His gear is from Unit, his plane is a Knolly,
James keep on flying, while we shout "Oh golly"!
“Yeah I had been looking at this ant-hill for a few minutes before I hit it, I was just riding by on my polar bear and had to contemplate if it was worthy. Should I build it? I think I just needed another opinion and someone to confirm for me that build was indeed worthy. It just so happened that my bud Mitch Cheek was passing through on his moose and all it took was a small reminder from him that rampage had desensitized my view of big lines. It couldn't have gone any better, I hoped off my grizzly’s back put the shovel to the dirt and sent ‘er!! Keep an eye out for another web edit this spring with this little huck in it.... Round Two! I’ll be scoping out bigger lines with my grizzly bear for my next edit between now and then”
Nothing more easy for me buddy !
When I see him dropping,
About an ovni he make me think !
Mixing speed and style
He is actually looking surnatural.
In the nature he is fluid like an animal,
Massive and agile, he ride as we like.
That’s why he is not only a rider,
As an artiste he must be considered !
Hey DJ, Cue the remix...Turn me up in these headphones
"Yo I'd been lookin' at this monster for a few years before I hit it, always drivin' by contemplatin'.... should we even build it. I think I just needed another opinion and whudya know.... I asked advice of my good friend Mitch an he said "les give it a go!" Now I took my bud out (cough) to get his input, and that's all that it took. We built this sucker up, hope I don't see bigfoot. It couldn't have gone any better, my mom always said never say never. A perfect build for the deeply willed. Keep an eye out for the next edit with the beast, at least it'll be a feast, for your eyes to analyze!"
Go get your Contour and start filming that
If you haven't got a Contour, then a GoPro will do,
If you haven't got a GoPro then this huck will only be seen by the build crew!
Go get your Contour and start filming that
If you haven't got a Contour, then a GoPro will do,

hope i dont land on a f*ckin tree..
Humpty Dumpty numbers four - five
flying like a bird , still i'm alive!
Humpty Dumpty numbers six - nine
if i land it well , all chicks are mine!
Humpty Dumpty numbers ten - fourteen
yeah, i did it !! now i'm on your your screen!
Humpty Dumpty.. all pictures are gone..
"Said, Enough! .. now we are done!"
Our motto is.... Why don't you just Huck Off!!
We specialize in flights to those hard to reach places and guarantee smooth take offs with buttery landings.
We can afford the hugely discounted flights because of our Wife Beater flight uniform program.
Fly Air Doerwing...where you'll never be told to "please fasten your seatbelts" because seatbelts are not an option.
Look at the size of that huck.
As James shoots across,
I think "what a boss."
It's gettin rowdy in here,
Doerfling has no fear.
This photo was enough for me to set down my beer.
To do such a drop would bring great cheer
All he needed was a little motivation from a friend
To throw something this big could mean the end
Finally he went for it on a beautiful day
Who talked him into this? What the f*ck did Mitch say?
Whilst they do what they desire,
Big big props,
to those mahoosive drops!
To the man in the protection-free vest,
In big mountain, surely he is the best?
who wanted to be known as a king
he sent the step down
got known out of town
and now can be seen on this link:
( gp1.pinkbike.org/p4pb8853432/p4pb8853432.jpg )
He is the Sender Man!
Proof: postimage.org/image/6zhew48v9
but Doerfling's balls dropped far enough to make any man flinch
To want something so bad , you must be so very mad,
to spot the landing , to want the landing , to feel the landing , you must concentrate.
for you back wheel must not arrive so late,
like mine did in Vancouver '99 , i slipped , i tripped my face was full of pine.
but i'm no James Doerfling
who flies through the air like a dragon with red wings,
the final plume of dusty gravel
as he reaches to the final depths of his travel
he emerges from his frame , like a man who's success = fame
now hes on the Sequence Saturday,
his mum , his dad , his uncle in dismay.
Thats my son he said,
as his tire marks leave a faint dusty tread,
but thats not all from mr Doerfling,
as we will hear him , the next time he hucks from the most terrifying thing.
slaying big drops and feeling quite jolly
John snaps the shots that shows what he's gots
balls of steel, is this even real?
Why are there no TV's in afghanistan?
Because of the teleban
falling out of the sky
this drop is so #@*$ing high
So gnar, drop higher than a motherf-
Lies Doerfling a dwarfling.
Such a drop could stop his heart and his two wheeled work of art,
Yet it was faced with courage in hopes of no marriage
Between the green and his spleen.
At the mercy of the skies, with all eyes
On him as he soars with the ferocity of wild boar;
At the captivity of gravity,
He spots his commanding landing with beauty outstanding.
With all spectators at awe and all competitors withdrawn,
James remains the king of two wheels with wings.
Its huge...
Darren found is big... ah..
Can i say Boner?!"
- I'm not sure...but I know it's a really unique and rare specie
But this shot is just f*cking amazing!
Between machine, nature and human
Big dreaming, hard working, and planning
Then stomping a buttery landing
What comprises the soul of a man?
A restless beast frothing, and striving
Defining existence how it can
Progressing, living, and riding
So James saw a drop that amazed
He built it so tight
And landed it light
And rode away yelling that "wheeeoooo" phrase
To hit it I must conquer my fears
If I f*ck up the landing
I won't be left standing
But in my ears are the words of CG
"If nobody else, then me!"
GO BIG!
Squirtels are blue,
Who give a f*ck about Pokemon,
Doerfling hucks like we all want tooooo!
may break my bones
but going HUGE excites me"
you don't know bender?
you ARE a bender
Violets are blue.
We have a ball,
but James´s got two.
My balls hang low and things goin change
No doubt in my mind when I hit that lip
people sometimes watching thinkin im goin slip
But then I tell em that I am James
And they look at me like damn you got game
I say:
I gunna drop this drop and ride away
cuz thats what I do every day
