I was there yesterday. Flying around a corner, small log in the way. Bunny hop, clear, land, somehow grab front brake, eat dirt. Its an interesting feeling, knowing that you will be hitting the ground in less than a second, having time to thingk "this is gonna hurt" but yet not enough time to do anything about it.

He is smiling way too much to be scared of going over. Eigther he doesn't realize it yet or he planned it?!
I think that is Dan's famous grimace describing his thoughts
"I think I need to leap over my handlebars now or I'm toast!"

He almost did too, but the landing was followed by another two foot drop off at the end of that rock so no dice.

Check my left hand, squeezing the brake despite my brain screaming "Let go of the brake!!!" I had no business being on the DH course and Angel Fire, anyway. IIRC, Kristian gets photo credit.

That is one of my biggest fears is that instinct to grab the front brake. It is just there screaming "Squeeze me like you do the Charmin!" and how many of us answered the call??? :)
