I used to do lots of silly things on bikes when I was young, but I don't think I'd have ever even considered trying this. Normally, when people get older, they get a bit of common sense, but that of course can be offset by beer. That's all I can think of.

:crutches:

Even if he made it, how the hell did he intend to stop??

[Abyss]

ow.

Nice try but why would you even try that?!

[rpwoodman]

It would have been pretty cool if he'd managed it. All out for glory!

[Ping]

ooooooouuuuch!

It would have been pretty cool if he'd managed it. All out for glory!

But he was trying to land in the back of that 4x4...

Badass, me and the lads used to do mental stuff on the MTB's when we were younger, nothing that extream though!!!

OOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

:shock: :shock: :shock:

I imagaine he was trying to use the track leading down from the road as a sort of landing ramp.

Would have been cool if he'd managed it.

[Speedy]

OUCH!!!!!

Did that person actually survive that???

OUCH!!!!!

Did that person actually servive that???

Unfortunately, I don't know, but I think he would have done, and probably not damaged too badly - maybe the odd broken bone.
I'd love to have seen a longer version, with what lead up to it, and then the ambulance turning up... :-)

That's gotta hurt!!

:shock: :shock:

all downhill..piece of cake !

[Razor]

His front wheel was too low and he bails just before impact. I reckon he'd be ok, prolly broke a wrist or a collarbone. Maybe that's why the sound cuts?
So we don't hear him going "Shhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.....!!!!"

[northwind]

He was so close to making it too... I've ridden worse descents than that on a hardtail, so if he'd got it to the landing zone he'd have been able to ride it out.

Still nuts.

wince..... that was an insane deathwish jump!
