I am elated to finally be able to show this to all of you beautiful people. Although we have only been building my property for 4 years and working directly on this project for the majority of the last year, this is something I have been working on my entire life. Long after many people told me I should hang up the ol’ Five Tens, life in mountain biking has just gotten better and better. Thank you FiveTen and Monster Energy for supporting this dream project and to everyone else that made this happen!—Cam Zink
Welcome to the ultimate mountain bike playground. Cam Zink has been working his entire life on perfecting his personal Sandbox. Now we get to see the 169-acre property in full HD, including the world’s tallest MTB jump where Cam landed his Guinness World Record backflip: “I can’t believe what we’ve been able to create, and this is just the beginning…” But don’t take Cam’s word for it, better see for yourself.—Monster Energy
@EeehhZink: I pledge allegiance to the Gwin from the United States of America and to the Minnaar who is still winning, under another nation, indivisible with tacky dirt and Maxxis tires for all.
I drove a 35 foot motorhome with 4 bikes hung of a rack on the back. Every time I'd go over a bump I'd cringe, watching the bikes bouncing around back there. Watchin him air out that 4-wheeler with that bike on top reminded me of that.
I watched it and was like "ah nice even Zink sometimes has mediocre looking supermans he's just human like the re..." and then he went into the manual and I went "...oh".
Yeah, generally too many different editing styles mashed up I would say...also they only got one single shot of the most exciting part, and that's been recorded on a phone...not entirely convinced of this video. His riding is undoubtedly dope though!
Glad I'm not the only one feeling that way. I was severely tempted to turn it off within the first minute. Why do half the mountain bike videos out there feel the need to turn into overproduced and overly dramatic slow-mo fests? I would have mentioned that it needed an "In a world" voiceover, but they already took care of that part too.
Sweet riding, no hate, looks like a sick compound. I am thoroughly confused on what happened with the video editing and filming. Some of those colors and exposure levels were just atrocious.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the fest guys haven't beaten this and didn't even think about it, its huge, but the highlight of this video is basically everything but the flip.
Congratulations Zink! You never cease to amaze me, just watched Accomplice on Netflix last night and it was so cool to see what you have done for Paul.
Not sure why so many folks hate on the editing and music choice every video. Was it my favorite? No, but it's similar to choosing the radio station in the car: driver picks and everyone else deals. Go make your own edit the way you'd prefer it but chances are your riding would be better set to the musical stylings of someone like Daughtry.
On the off chance Daughtry is in this comment section, I apologize for the ricochet shot but you probably get it.
One of the most down to earth riders I've ever met for a guy with his airtime! I'll take the edit served plain with a side of props from his dudes. But does he realize that Asher is outbuilding him?
Definitely some truth to that. Digging in Reno sucks. Helps when you create your own 501 company to fund your trail fantasies and help fund renting out huge digging machines.
Been done. This is where The Biggest Little fest was in 2019. In fact, part of the reason the compound is built out as much as it is is because the fest boys came out weeks in advance and helped Cam build big stuff. Not discounting the work cam has done himself. The weather that year kinda put a damper on things. I wouldn't be surprised to see another attempt at having another Reno Fest.
@lefthandohvhater: half of it, and not the landing, which, if you hadn't noticed, is the bit that matters for a record where you claim to have landed longer than anyone else.
I see pinkbike is deleting every comment that's not overwhelmingly positive as usual, was 5 or six comments about the quality when the video dropped, all gone now lol

I keep thinking “surely he’s starting to slow down” and he just keeps showing us how it’s done.
Or sum shit like that.
Ain’t nobody got time for that.
Now that soundtrack made it pretty hard to finish
On the off chance Daughtry is in this comment section, I apologize for the ricochet shot but you probably get it.
That’s so insane!
Also Cam Zink: 110 foot back flip
Zink never lets us down just 100% gnar 24/7
