 its called a kiss of death.. not a tsunami
  • 3 2
 no its a tsunami theres not much much differance though
  • 2 1
 I've always wondered what is the diff? does the kiss just have your head tucked under?

 KOD would the bike and rider more vertical with the riders head near the front tire. Tsunami looks more like a right angle.
  • 1 1
 and they also often bend their arms to get their head beside the front fender
  • 3 2
 Tsunami - bike and rider are vertical, riders leger are bent.
KoD - bike is vertical, riders reaching their head towards the front tire and legs are out behind more like a superman.

Google "Mike Jones Kiss of Death" He's the creator of the trick.

Check out "tsunami" or "ruler" too, that's what I'm doing, or trying to do.

 I just copied and pasted what i wrote about this pic on May 26,when i first saw it,cos nothing else needs saying.......A very rarely,if ever seen trick on a MTB,especially a big DH rig like yours m8,so big props for that Kris,you do indeed have balls of steel,and that is indeed POD and it would be a travesty if it isn't in the May top 5 POD's.Brilliant tsunami Kris.And easily POD.
