luckynumber13 (Mar 26, 2011 at 17:56)

it looks like your trying to landing cannonball style, i.e. holding your seat with your hands no footed
I know it's a cool trick and everything but I don' t think your supposed to land like that

downhilldj127 (Mar 13, 2011 at 19:30)

M-a-R-c-I (Dec 28, 2011 at 8:28)

I think you could have done it with your hands on the bar. it wasn't that short

downhilldj127 (Dec 28, 2011 at 8:32)

my neck hurt real bad from casing it 4 days earlier and I felt like I was gonna case this time so I chose to let go to save me from whiplashing mysef

M-a-R-c-I (Dec 28, 2011 at 9:42)

I see. however i still think it wasn't the best decision to avoid an injury!

warhorsey (Mar 14, 2011 at 16:22)

joseda (Mar 13, 2011 at 11:45)

cierto si hubiese dejado los pies y las manos en su sitio solo se habria quedado corto, pero sin caida

Vulpine (Mar 23, 2011 at 10:54)

nose.. reboto sobre su asiento.. tal vez las manos en el volante lo hubieran echo volar hacia el frente.. y ahi entraba en juego lo bueno de su leatt brace..

joseda (Mar 24, 2011 at 4:30)

Nose pero de todas formas yo creo que a la rampa esa le falta un poco de altura muy poca, pero la justa para llegar bien xD

StuHaight (Mar 13, 2011 at 8:54)

ivcstudio (Mar 13, 2011 at 20:57)

i think if you wanted to ditch the bike earlier would have been better. looks like shitts really getting built down there. ill have to come check it out, just remeber, these crash videos are why we all love you

+ 1

jaketinnelly (Mar 14, 2011 at 4:44)

Nice to see you get back up. Is the landing very flat?

+ 1

dingo-dave (Nov 1, 2011 at 10:08)

You could case that on dh bike. Ugly, but doable if you prejump the first part of the roll in. Call me crazy but I think you should've held on and hoped for the best. Props all the same.

joshford (Mar 15, 2011 at 20:46)

i love how downhilldj127 gives everybody positive props (mostly) for commenting. i dont think ill get em tho

+ 5

downhilldj127 (Mar 15, 2011 at 20:58)

I like how you go through all the props thingys, probably on every comment on everything here

joshford (Mar 17, 2011 at 12:12)

How to confirm my information was correct, cant go out sayin shit and not being able to back it up with evidence. thx for the positive props.

shredright (Jan 8, 2012 at 5:50)

bike-fixer (May 5, 2011 at 21:03)

downhilldj127 (Mar 16, 2011 at 19:52)

burgeAlurge (Feb 18, 2012 at 21:47)

Just a pointer but it helps to keep your hands on the bars when your about to land.

pdee (Mar 20, 2011 at 21:54)

www.pinkbike.com/photo/8250175 that is a ghetto version of this

biker0chris (Mar 13, 2011 at 17:14)

haha nice effort !

shredright (Jan 8, 2012 at 5:47)

shame, nice gap. again and clean this time.. go

+ 1

downhilldj127 (Jan 8, 2012 at 7:24)

I broke my collar bone into over 10 pieces in Sept on another stepdown so I'm off the bike for a while, and actually this was my second attempt at it, here's a link to the first attempt at the gap tho www.pinkbike.com/video/185202

+ 1

shredright (Jan 8, 2012 at 7:33)

soon as you've rolled in and are on the flat run in really go for it on the cranks, settle, commit and you've got that. its not that far tbh

+ 1

downhilldj127 (Jan 8, 2012 at 7:47)

I really have no desire to try this again, this gap ( www.pinkbike.com/photo/5834173 ) as you can see dwarfs the one I'm crashing on and it's right next to it

+ 1

shredright (Jan 8, 2012 at 7:52)

good shot, gap looks good too! is it part of a longer line or is it just the gapper to hit?

+ 1

downhilldj127 (Jan 8, 2012 at 7:57)

we were gonna put a classic Kamloops-cheese-wedge sender after it last year, but that spot is really rocky and super dry so my friend ended up building a little slopestyle line with a whale tale on at the base of the landing so unfortunatley the wedge idea is on hold until the whale tale is either moved or wrecked by the burnout kids from the school that go up there and use drugs

D-ponko (Mar 13, 2011 at 11:19)

you slugged it

JesseBMXs (Jun 29, 2011 at 23:41)

damn, that looked like it hurt, you even bottomed out your demo

+ 1

ryansimonovich (Jun 8, 2011 at 22:15)

that's so gnarly! couldn't you make the take off bigger so you won't case?

+ 1

downhilldj127 (Jun 8, 2011 at 22:20)

yeah maybe, I think I woulda cleared it had I not let go with my hands tho, or that's what everyone who was watching seemed to think, idk tho haha

+ 1

ColeF-75 (Apr 25, 2011 at 16:13)

that is gnarly

+ 1

bikerpro27 (Apr 25, 2011 at 9:45)

why did you finger them?

+ 1

downhilldj127 (Apr 25, 2011 at 10:32)

I wasn't tryna do it cuz I crashed on it 4 days before and I got hella high and hit it cuz all my homies convinced me I had the speed for it hahaha I was just really pissed tho
