[QUOTE="mox69, post: 1216331, member: 76391"] I have absolutely no idea how that guy didn't break any bones. If you watch the replay he basically landed perfectly. He comes down at an odd angle, his legs are bent and his feet hit first, but he is sideways so his ass immediately hits next. Then like a whip cracking his head slams down onto the ramp and the majority of the energy was absorbed by his helmet. I would say that was about a 50ft free fall onto a piece of wood, with nothing but tennis shoes, a helmet and knee pads. That guy is lucky to be awake right now, let alone walking away from that. Personally the freestyle competition felt to me like everyone showed up to get a paycheck from their sponsors. 90% of the tricks were a backflip + push your feet off the bike. I know it isn't easy, but these guys have been doing this stuff for years. I was very happy to see that one kid do a 360 with his body and then hop back on the bike. I don't care if that is "easier" than the other tricks. It is original and it looked cool :) That double backflip guy has never even landed it on dirt! WTF why don't we just get a bunch of death row inmates and throw them on dirtbikes. To me this stuff isn't about playing russian roulette and hoping you win. It should be a trick you have practiced and perfected. Here is how I am going to become a millionaire. Step 1: Call espn tell them I am going to do a triple backflip. Step 2: Have my mom video tape me triple flipping into the foam landing. On said video watch me land 1 out of the 5 clips. Hope nobody realized the one I landed was sketchy as hell and had it been dirt I would have wiped. Step 3: Get invited to X-Games. Step 4: Profit! [/QUOTE]
