Cam's helmet cam of the flip down is so scary! Way to charge Zink and Strait!

Yeah man it's been a while since some thing amazed me that much in a bike video , nuts to think of flipping some thing that big , gotta be 3 times as big as anything I have ever done !

i guess it's kinda impressive but on a DH bike it's not that big of a jump. Also as long as he is on a downhill bike he cannot call it real freeride. I reckon someone like jaws would do this with single crowns. If zinc can't do freeride on single crowns then i don't find him that impressive, especially since his feet came off.

Completely agree with joe701, 'freeriders' these days really need to remember their roots. So sick of this desperate need to ride the coolest kit that seems to be happening in downhill these days, and when I come to watch some rad ass freeride and see these guys running double crowns and matching gear it really gets me down. I present you with an example of some real mountain biking www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijv-c-vlLmw&feature=related, two men here simply having fun on their bicycles, without a care for their appearance. The direction mountain biking seems to have taken recently deeply saddens me.

92 degrees is actually fairly cool for the desert

The desert goes from freezing temperature to melt your nuts off. Just depends on the hour of day.

I guess if they were rockin' the old Kona Stinky 9 with 9" of travel and a Monster T or Risse Bigfoot forks they'd be more legit...
That would be old school freeride right?

@ emo. The definition of Freeride is ride what you want how you want where you want. not "single crowns and t-shirts only". Plus, if i ever got flamed in person for running a dual or single crown, or for my choice in clothing. I would laugh in their face, cause they are obviously more concerned about it than me or my buddies are. I bet it would be pretty hard to keep a clothing sponsor if you didn't wear their kits too. so more power to them.

The bottom bracket angle made me think he ate it hard. Glad he didn't, that was massive! And damn they know how to have a good time.

i love how on the helmet cam, you really get a feel for how long he was hanging after a full rotation before landing... HUGE..! nobody else is tricking that big... anyone who is not impressed by that should just quit riding...

Man, if he pulls another move like this in Rampage 2012, he'll probably win again.

@joe701 way to talk shit cuz I doubt anyone would hit that drop with single crowns and cam's feet came off the pedals cuz he hit the brake, otherwise he wouldn't of landed it.

Every time I watch this flip, I get butterflies in my stomach. The helmet POV didn't help this at all.He's SO CLOSE to losing it. Absolutely rad as can be.

1:30 looks like the guuy at the back is about to fall on landing before it quickly cuts to the next shot.

[EDIT] Scrap that, 2:30 is same jump and its just a dodgy landing.

nicktheshredder (Dec 13, 2011 at 11:15)

the only reason he fell off after doing that backflip was because his balls were so big!
