Today we'd never see stuff that big none of the athertons would even true that , riding today is just sponsorship's and clothing and the most stupid over priced parts and clothing , the times of riding in that video are the best !

Wonderworks, even though you said that two years ago, it still made me throw up in my mouth. I want you to go watch the videos of crankworx 2010, and then tell me stuff that big doesn't happen anymore. In crankworx, the riders are riding jumps and drops almost as big as the ones in this video AND THEY ARE DOING TRICKS OFF OF THEM. It's called progression, and without, our sport would be dead. Also, parts cost as much now as they did when this video was filmed.
It used to be that any mountain biker with a pair of balls could ride a bunch of big jumps and drops *cough*bender*cough* and become legendary. This days, you have to ride a big drop and do a 360 off of it to be one of the best (but unfortunately for Cam Zink, probably not a legend). Don't get me wrong, I have a ton of respect for Bender, Klassen, and other pioneer freeriders who paved the way for our freeriding. I am also not saying I could do anything like what they did. But I am saying that just because you have to have a lot more skill these days (a 360 off of a 40ft drop is NOT easy) doesn't mean that todays riders are pussies and are worse than the old school riders.
