Nick Posted April 19, 2016 Share Was that one of the darkness riders? Has anyone ridden that out yet? Yes, it was Matt Macduff. Haven't heard of anyone else attempting it.

You have to ensure quite a few things are in place to ride out, speed, entry angle etc, it's not like a jump where there's more latitude to thumbsuck things. That loop is enormous, now he's out I wonder who will attempt it, wonder what the park owner thinks, all that work, one ride and man down. nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-Boy Posted April 19, 2016 Share In all honesty the loop should have been a lot smaller, that way it wouldnt be a 1 hit wonder.I know they wanted it for a record attempt but that completely limits its use. If it was smaller then other riders could also attempt it without it being such a risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJacques Posted April 19, 2016 Share Danny Macaskill could probably ride that loop. He did a smaller one in Imaginate, but even then the outtakes / behind the scenes showed that it took a few attempts with some padded mattresses on the sides to get it right.

Guest notmyname Posted April 19, 2016 Share Want to see the park owners scars?I believe the land owner doesn't ride. He just really digs that his land is being used for something so unfrikenbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ok - I have done this with my heel - adjusting a speed sensor - did not end as badly as it could have - but still not good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
