It was definitely a nasty spill. I was not real sure what happened, it was almost like he lost sight of his line or something went wrong at the lip of the big drop... I was caught off guard, but still managed to get a few shots off.

Am I seeing things or is that a guy behind the lens of an old Bolex in the foreground?

not too sure... I know the guys from the collective were there, but i have no idea what they were using or what they were up to.

OMG! Wow... This might be an obvious question, but is this downhill? Do women ride these same types of races too?

Great image, gives good perspective. Looks photoshopped to me though.

Yep. Why else would that guy be dropping in up top with all his teammates crashing at the bottom of the hill?

:D

No, this is not downhill. This is extreme freeride.

Downhill riding and racing involves a bit more contact with the ground, wheels down :)
