what's with all these comments about single crowns? a 7 inch dual crown is pretty much the same if not better than a dual crown for big hits, most dual crowns are designed for downhill riding ie. roots and similar while the 7 inch single crowns are designed for freeride ie. big drops such as this one
the fact that I actually own one would give me some pretty good authority on the subject, plus I've ridden pretty much every fork on the market as far as 6 inches and up so I would know about this...just because I'm 16 doesn't make me an idiot, I know my shit
Миша, ты молоток! Такие вещи делать - это достойно уважения! Респект! И береги себя.
To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Dear colleagues. In Ukraine (the same in other post Soviet countries) there are a lot of crazy and prof MTB and DH guys who can win championships and competitions. Our reason of what You have seen is our character - we have no limits and we do not afraid. The problem for our racers is financing. The most powerful bike producers do not find the markets. In Ukraine really there are several DH racers who ride just for fun. If somebody is interesting in finding really good racers in post soviet countries, in financing programs or just in travelling to Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Kirghistan,... let me know. Maybe one day the different names will appear in list of best DH racers. Thanks!
And one more Our Ukrainian friend Mishaniya broke his leg - that`s why he sold his bike. March will be soon. I propose to collect some money (every person can invest 10 dollars) - and Michaniya can buy new bike. It will be great present for this unbelievable guy!
Wait your comments. Comments like "i am not greedy. collect yourself" are acceptable.
THERE IS LANDING!!! If somebody wants to see the landing watch this vid www.pinkbike.com/video/174013 Мишаня, твоим ответом нет, на вопрос "здесь нет приземления?" в английском ты скорее утверждаешь что его действительно нет... найди кого-нибудь кто бы переводил тебе, ок? так будет проще) а за катание тебе действительно большое Уважение. и удачи в развитии мтб)
Where the dirt is on bottom right, its cut out and you can hint a landing there. Plus there is a bike and kid under the tree near the middle; showing how large a hill he cam off of.
This guy really wants to get a sponsorship for his biking, but in his country they don't have a lot of people who riding, and there is no sponsors for that. If you could help him to get a sponsor, please do it. He said He would ride much better with a sponsor. He don't even have a bike right now. He was needed money for his broken leg, and he sold the bike because of it.
I know its big and all, but i dont think its up to POD material, in comparison to some of he other shots that have recently won it!
Stil, props for the super huck!
This is pretty gnarly but not too bad. Looks like about 20 down and maybe a little more than 20 out. But gotta give this kid props for hitting it on such a sketchy lookin bike.
