Would you jump a 40' by 70' gap like this one in Lethbridge, Alberta?
Matt from Canada would...and he did...and he nearly nailed it...no...he walked away with only minor injuries and bruises...and yes, he will try it again! (More from the PinkBike forums.)
Ever since I saw Unchained, I have found a new respect for freeriding and extreme mountain biking. I think it's because it makes me feel so far behind in my skills that it pushes me just a little bit harder when I am on a cross-country trail. Maybe take a larger drop then I normally do or do ever larger log hops. Basically, when I consider bailing on a stunt I have seen others do before me, I draw on these outrageous experiences to tell myself that it can't be that hard. After all, if guys like Matt can do a 40' drop, surely I can roll over a three and a half foot log set without killing myself.
Found via a thread in the MORE forums.
