Effing ow!



On March 28th 2015 Nick Cooper attempted the world's biggest dirt jump. At 75ft dirt to dirt, this is by far the biggest dirt jump ever built. Nick was a bit sore after this attempt but walked away with no injuries. After nearly 3 years of struggle to make it happen, and 8 days of building, the 4:19 Project finally came to life. Stay tuned for Nick to land it and set a new world record!

Intense. .

I remember watching a video a couple years ago of a guy going HUGE on dirt for some type of clothing company commercial. Believe it was on this site.

Edit: Dane Searls was the guy

He was at a hotel partying/celebrating and tried to jump from a balcony into the pool and suffered head injuries I think?

Dane's GOD jumps were pushing 60 ft, and he nailed them. There's a 3-part video series on that Allan Hardy and UNiT produced. Some of my favorite BMX vids to date. That dude was a machine on a bike. He died from the Pool Jump. Such a bummer, still get gutted thinking about that.

Did I hear him hit the brakes a tad just before the takeoff?

There is a squeel/chirp............just after the helmet cam, right when it goes from the head on view to the side view.
