Link is not working for me...

Wonder if that jump had any affect on him doing the quad a triple during the main?

It seems like after hitting a jump like that, all those other jumps would seem pretty small, despite their technicality.

I still think his transfer in Dallas was more ridiculous. I have video but it doesn't do it justice. His transfer in Dallas was just as long as this one but with only about 20 feet of run up to it.

They need to start calling him Superman - he can leap whole tracks in a single bound.

Freaking ridiculous.

Between him and Roczen, they have more talent than half the other riders combined.

The dude announcing was saying it was over a 100. But he also said it was 5 lane transfers, which in reality it was only 3 I believe. All in all that was a gnarly transfer and it was amazing to watch.

Kdub's award ceremony speech was pretty damn funny

Wimdhams been doing these for a while I remember I think it was Travis revelation 199 video when kw was still riding suzukis and he was showing tp how to jump off the side of the triple perpendicular to the next landing whip it in the air and land on the downside of another triple landing....it was amazing back then and he's only gotten better at it

No , not really. It's called a Transfer , because he is transferring from one lane , over to another lane.

If he wants to impress me he'll do it during the main like Stewart.

My video of the transfer.
It's a bit shaky at first, but it's a pretty good view.

the transfer was beyond big in person. i would say it was at least 30' longer than the triple before the quad.

it was sick watching him come up to it too, the run up to the take-off was shitty and he was pullin' gears and swapping sideways.

when he landed he got all sketchy and rode it out. talk about skill. also his stoppie was probably the longest i've ever seen in person

He tried it about 5 times after the last qualifier/practice, if I remember correctly. Really windy too, very cool to watch.
