Mark W Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Josh Bender's going for a 100ft drop now, but knowing him he'll do it on a 15ft travel piece of shit, and won't hold the landing at all. But there we go. To quote him, "It's all about the air time. Photographers only get the air, the landing doesn't matter." ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 i'm well aware of that , but youve gotta have a screw lose to aattempt something you know you're not going to land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Probably why he uses shitloads of body armour and does loads of exercises to build up muscle (helps prevent bone breakage?)? Either way, he just seems like a penis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 it must be good fun to be flying for 5 seconds or so on a simple machine such as a bike, however, do they just set up for that one line? or is that mid/end of an entire run? it would kinda suck if they just go and pull that one line then leave, kinda like climbing up a wall in trials just to drop off.

Tomm Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 it would kinda suck if they just go and pull that one line then leave, kinda like climbing up a wall in trials just to drop off. Lots of people do that though. I suspect that's exactly what's happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James_Porter Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 photos shit int it, would have thought they would have got a better photo. landing wouldnt be that bad if you land in the transition right though, so be allright. fair play though.

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 imagine if he hung up at the top of the transition :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 75ft is the record by wades simmons and he did it smooth. Bender did the same drop but landed 2miles further down the hill and fell over. I heard the next drop was 92ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardman Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Its true, I think its on New World Disorder 5 but I seem to have deleted it from my computer, go check it out, its near the end of the vid. Its the bit where they jump over the Marzocchi truck which they moved for Bender becasue of obvoius reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 thinking about it, he could of at least thrown a 360 in there maybe even a 1080. anyone can ride off a cliff and land on a hill.* :P *probably not me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBProductions Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 (edited) Probably why he uses shitloads of body armour and does loads of exercises to build up muscle (helps prevent bone breakage?)? Either way, he just seems like a penis... He was the one who actually progressed freeriding and made people think ahh thats actually possible so less of the moaning. A one nathan rennie is attempting a 100ft jump soon and that guy has talent but he feels the need to go big so he goes big. I mean ok yeah they have travel but thats why they do rolling drops and not static like trials riders do!! I mean its ok for trial people to bust off big drops and not get slated why is it different for Downhillers and freeriders ??. As for the 360 drops check out Darren Berrecloth he is nailing them on huge drops.

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted October 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 contrary to popular belief , bender is actually a pretty talented rider , he just chooses to do cliff drops much in the same way that most of slipknot are all accomplished musicians , they just enjoy thrashing he hell out of stuff instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sayin he doesn't particularly mind if he lands it. That's not progressing riding. All the BC riders do more for that. The Vancouver scene pretty much propelled freeriding to where it is now, freeride and North Shore. If Bender didn't appear to be such a cock (from interviews I've read with him), and appeared to actually give a shit about good riding, I wouldn't really have a problem with him... contrary to popular belief , bender is actually a pretty talented rider , he just chooses to do cliff drops much in the same way that most of slipknot are all accomplished musicians , they just enjoy thrashing he hell out of stuff instead Yes, but Slipknot actually write songs, then finish them, then play them at gigs. Josh Bender just doesn't really mind if he actually lands stuff. To use your comparison, Josh Bender is the equivalent of Slipknot going on stage with half a song written, then playing it super badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really have no Idea about him or his riding or about freeriding, why dont you watch some of it. Like the 60 footer in utah that he smashed himself up on and came back 6 times (thats takes a lot to do) and finally nailed it. That really shows him just throwing himself off of stuff. Hes actually racing Downhill now and is pretty damn stylish so that shows that he just doesnt throw himeslf off stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard of him pulling a backflip over a 50foot gap Hes extremly good now but hes stopped going big as he wants to get more stylish and flowing and funnily enough he has, because of the commitment he shows.
