Todays downhill ride. (watch for epic fails)

Well we spent the first hour or so building this sweet drop in to a triple. We then rode the actual trail for a while and came back to the jump to see if it was doable. Me being new to the sport well i wear full body armor for a reason. My friend is a professional dirtbike rider/downhiller (sponsored by 661 and oneil). Well here are the vids....enjoi

haha ya boy makes that shit look eaaasy

 

haha yea i have no idea how he does it aside from like 15 years of practice

 

Sick jump yo. He makes it look so easy!

 

I failed to mention that is his HUGE lifted chevy in the background. He enters in races all over, that thing has seen more air time than most

 

nice bikes, looks like fun! I got to ride a little today, but I only have an XC bike I try to mob on like an All Mountain. lol

 

haha nice dude, ive hit some smaller jumps on a XC its still fun.

 

Nice. Looks like fun. I want a bike soo bad. What's better for that stuff? A good hardtail or a decent fs?

 

That directed at me? ^

 

I iz confuzed.

 

Ratard. Lol

 

haha for that stuff i would say any decent FS would be nice. but the new thing is progressive hardtails. They are pretty intense.

 

I will have to look into that. If I get one can I ride with you guys?

 

im down to ride where ever whenever. Going up to mammoth monday to ride i think.

 

Nice. It probably won't be for a while though. Maybe next summer. I shouldn't suck too bad. I jump dirt bikes so it can't be that hard.

 

never rode a dirt bike, but im sure its the same just not with the 100+ lb bike between your legs
