RodTi Posted December 14, 2010 Share Thats actually a photo of the first mountainbike basejump and yes he is wearing a parachute. I Saw this exact photo in an old MBA magazine someone gave me, cant remember the guy's name but they say below the photo that he jumped the rock, popped the parachute and then actually held on to the bike all the way until he landed and rode away. Amazing! Ah - thanks - makes sense now Well - on the assumption that you're slightly mental, it would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelhicks Posted December 14, 2010 Share Thanks Guys, Unfortunately still very far of WC pace, but heck, i'm gonna have a lot of fun trying to get there... Well MxKid ... you are going to have to up the pace pretty soon as that jump is being made 5 metres bigger on Thursday!!!!! - But your run in will be faster anyway so you can huck it twice as far when its built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch21 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Rode in Junior Men. But it seemed that many guys my age and even older rode in Youth men? Didn't rock the podium, my brakes are giving me a crap load of trouble. COntaminated pads, rotors need to be resurfaced, they squeak like crazy. I just need new brakes all in all. So in the first run I took it real easy, and in the second I ended up going over the bars off a drop Edited December 14, 2010 by Mitch21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
