Crankworx Slopestyle II

[scottvelez]

I had a good response to the last set, so I'm posting a few more. This time the theme is backflip sequences.



First up is Kyle Strait backflipping on to the scaffolding.

And this is Paul Bassagoitia doing his version, with an added tail whip. Seems a bit sketchy to me, but heh,
I can't ride 10% of what he can, so what do I know?

thats why paul is so nuts, look at him land that flip all sketch, and then still throwing the perfect whip, way off balance... like 5 feet later

[LOBOTIDULATOR]

awesome pics as usual

[Battlecat]

That is so sick, he landed even worse then kyle did and still pulled off a tailwhip:thepimp:

He is so awsome. He shuold get on a big bike and tailwhips off 30X30's :D

[UrBaN hAxOr]

paul destroyed that

[Slamigo]

what bike was that Paul guy riding?
awesome pics btw!

[Battlecat]

he is riding a super light santacruz machine.

Its prolly why he can whip so easy

[Rosscofat]

nice pictars

[Trini-dad72]

From what scuttlebutt I heard, it wasn't his bike? Or he had only ridden it like a handful of times, if that?

Who knows, he was sooooo sick, his flip-to-sketch-to-tailwhip, was just off the fricken hook!!!!


Oh I can see me and Eliane and Dave and Jun in those pics!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good work Scott!!!!

[Straw]

I can't get over where the announcer decided to call the comp from. If I was riding, I wouldn't really want him sitting in the middle of my scaffold!

Nice pics, by the way.

[ThE NoRcO]

He's riding a hardtail? WOW :eek: :cool:

[blackspire racer]

thats sick. any one know how the rest of his run was? cuz if it was really good he prolly should have won

[Ghetto Smurf]

he did win
and he did a tailwhip of the first jump, i think a backflip off the hip by the tetter totter, cant remeber what off the box, back flip off the big hip into the quarter, tailwhip in the quarter(i think, i cant remember wich run but he might have done a xup and bailed, cant remember) then did the hip then backflip up scafolding and tailwhip off scafolding
it was insano

[Scarface]

Paul is riding a Santa Cruz Chameleon,
its originally Cameron Zinks, but he baisically rides it in all the comps and such..PRetty Nutz

[Slamigo]

yeah, it looks like a chameleon with a psylo.

can anyone say "phenom future star"?

:rolleyes:

nice, the guy schools the place and you knock him for having a BMX background... sounds like jealousy.

I'm sick of this attitude that anyone who is a "competent" BMX'er can somehow translate their skills into star status on a MTB.

The kid has amazing talent and lots of courage to hit stuff that big.

How about you abandon your negative vibe? ;)

[IFO]

i think Kyle's move is more burly, cuz getting that HUGE Demo9 up and over into a complete backflip with a FOX DH fork aswell cant be easy...

certainly harder then getting a small HT with aSC fork up and over...

Kyle's move is HUGE in my books...

esp. that first pic... thats like a MAG. cover shot right there for sure....:thepimp:

THERE WE ARE. I'm in the red hat, Justin's in the red hat, and Jun and Elaine are there too!

BTW, those are some kick ass pics...sorry for ruining it with my red markings...

PS, I don't know the rules about this altering pics thing...if it's wrong, let me know and I'll take it off...actually, I'll just take it off anyway...

[The_Real_Yeti]

thats soo sick:thepimp:
