2010 Highland Mountain Bike Park Claymore Challenge: Eric Porter Crash

Well this was intense. Eric Porter in his final qualifying run took a different approach to freebird

 Yeah I just leaned back too far too early, basically forgot the lip was 9 feet tall and super long I guess, I sat down on my tire at the top of the lip, which stopped me basically and tossed me forward, so I tucked to finish flipping and land upright! Ended up landing on my butt and feet and back, got out of it super good! It had nothing to do with my bike or suspension, I just leaned back and sat on the tire.

 Quick thinking! It seems like that's often what saves pro's from bad crashes. When I crash usually the only thing that goes through my mind is "SHIIIIIIIT!"

 he was probly running his seat too low and his suspension a little too soft, and when his suspension compressed of the lip his tire might have hit the seat. It does actually feel like someone just locked your rear brake up not cool trying to backflip a 35 foot jump haha. I hate when frame manufacturers don't get there angles right on ss type bikes. I had to run the seat so far forward on the rails to be able to slam it on my old eastern. Could have been his butt too like the dude above said, but i've never seen someone jam their ass into the tire that hard before, haha initiated a frontflip out of a backflip.

 I have on a hardtail, my Spesh aluminum p2 frame. My hip got stuck in between the seat and the rear tire... Not a good feeling at all.
