Channel 7, Pacific in B.C. right now.

The show leader said they saw Josh Bender on a cliff, maybe some shots of him riding today.

Josh Bender is a Great Dude!! I met him this summer out at Silverton Mt., Colorado. He's totally down to Earth and completely psyched about the bike and doing great things. I was an honor to meet the guy, and he hooked us up with some killer road trip directions on our way home to Las Vegas. If you ever get the chance to see this guy, you will be impressed. Cheers, Schmidty

P.S. Already have this vid on my comp

Did he ever actually land it though? The video I have just shows his wipeouts.

Someone did the calcs* and figured out he'd be hitting the transition at around 80mph**. This does not take into account the losses due to aerodynamic drag caused by that outrageously impractical fork.





*and I didn't check 'em.

**metric conversion: really really fast.

Uh I was reffering to the video in this thread, I wasn't paying attention to the comment above.

Nope, he wants a steeper landing on it.

If he tried 100 feet, he would probably eat it big time.

EDIT: Just noticed you and dirtjumpP.1 are in that thread.

It's a Canfield Bros. But I still haven't figured that whole deal out. Josh has a signature edition Scream (sweet paint - my buddy's got one) but I was talking to Breshears at Monster Park and he said Bender was off Banshee.

Oh you know brashears?...I think he just left. It was a mutual exclusion. To him the scream is just a train bike ...
