On the 1:58 mark... the bridge jump... how does the last dude get SO much air compared to the other two, when they're all going at the same speed? Noob question, of course...

The rider that caught the big air compressed his suspension into the face of the small tranny before the bridge then "popped" as he took off. He may or may not of used the little lip (2" looking bump at top of tranny/beginning of bridge) for a little more boost.

HAHA, I already knew what footage you were talking about before I went to Youtube!

Yeah, it is all in the way you pump the terrain, and I'm pretty sure that is Vanderham. He is phenomenal on the bike.

Me too! Doesn't hurt it's one of my favorite bike segments of all time. That bridge, by the way, is way longer than it looks on video, making it all the more impressive.

I watch that link every time to get hyped up... not that I need it anyways, it just simply is the best biking video I've ever seen. Any other ones as epic you all know about?
