Hi.

This is my friend Edu Capivara droping from

5,12 mts high.

his haven´t landed perfectly but he tried.

this was in 2003.

result:

forkand bb axle bent, no injuries though.

He brought the biketrials to Brazil in 1984.

Today he´s the most important and knowed biketrials icon in Brazil.

those saying he's got awful technique....

it looks to me like he was trying to "manual" down the first bit to make the drop seem smaller...anyone that's ever done it knows how quick the back end can shoot out, and i reckon he's just overcompensated a wee bit...massively ballsy attempt though!

He rides since 1984 and he is 5 times national champion.

now he doesn´t ride anymore, the age got him, but he´s an cool guy, done a lot of thing for trials sport.

I'm not saying he's not a nice guy, it just seems as if his front end is waaay too low and when he lands there wouldn't be enough of the impact taken by his back wheel.
