Dude has commitment issues... He did the 'novice' hesitation then goon gas-it right before he hit the jump. I bet he would have made it had he just left it pinned.

I can't say anything bad - I am guilty of the same Sad

It's a hard habit to break!

I completely disagree. While he did come up short, his big issue was how hard he was kicked.

I think if he would have came in with more speed, let off, and then accelerated hard at the face he would have been alright.

For high speed jumps with a small face the suspension needs to be set before one hits the face or else it kicks them over the bars.

Maybe grab another gear, sounds like the bike is pretty much topped out when he hits the lip.

Yep, that sharp, short face was the real killer here.

Lol that's funny! For real, anyone who says he ever had a chance at making that gap doing this or that better is crazy because that 'lil kicker' wasn't giving him anymore pop unless he did a serious SEAT BOUNCE off it! In that case he may of landed on his back after almost completing a front flip. That guy has the biggest brass nuts for attempting that and for making it as far as he did I give him a golf clap. My advice here would be to never attempt something this insane ever!

That guy had plenty of time to shift, something tells me he was the only one to try that.
