Watch the video again (post # 6), even a successful landing (if there is such a landing on that one) was going to be beyond the limitations of the suspension on that bike, which since that guy was a professional is probably more bike than most will ever ride. At any rate, the interviews of the morons in the video that think the jump was possible, they obviously need to rewatch the jump and realize the cyclist ditched & pitched his bike almost immediately after going over the edge. The jump wasn't even well thought out and to commit to that was a foolish mistake on the rider's part. Any footage of anyone doing that and sticking the landing perfectly ?
