Greetings Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I thought Danny Mac could sidehop up around 180cm walls.I must be wrong Legends say that he sidehopped over the cannon of one of the PLA's tanks driving towards the Tiananmen square in 1989.Broadcasters named him the Trials Man.

Bronz Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) It's amazing how Benito is still capable of setting world records. He's pretty old isn't he?WOWZA would be pretty good to know how old he is .Rob.I think 29.EDIT: 28 at the beginning of this month.

chimpanzyyyy Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 benito technique is impressive, but going off 1 hop then up jus isnt how the cool kids rolewhy? he's got a flicky super light mod bike, he just use it this way to go fecking high... It looks like it's working pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D A N N Y Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 why? he's got a flicky super light mod bike, he just use it this way to go fecking high... It looks like it's working pretty well +1 all hes doing is a side hop, dosent even have to look good, for the time being hes got the world record under his belt, weather damon, tra or someone else have a chance of getting over 56inch is all well and good but untill its on here with proof, its not even worth a fart, well done to all of the riders in that video, PUSHING EACH OTHER AND PUSHING THE SPORT!

Davetrials Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 How big is that one damon did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 the one damon did must be about 54 its huge and he's doing on a super heavy deng from looks of thingsjust what i was thinking....so what if he's on an uber light comp bike? surely that would give him at least 1 extra inch?

Ben John-Hynes Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hahaathats a HUGEE sidehop, so is damon's got to be biggest on a stock Damon's sidehops are onto objects. Not over. I'm sure if he tried, he COULD do it, never gone for it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil Jsy Chris Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Massive Nice slick tire he has on the front there as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 just what i was thinking....so what if he's on an uber light comp bike? surely that would give him at least 1 extra inch?Well seeing as he's cleared the on in that pic by about 2 inchs, id say a super light bike would see him over 56", why he is not persuing this i dont know.

eskimo Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Benito hopped my bike for a photo shoot in Barca few years back. How cool am i? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRA Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 i dont think the record should count as the stage was very bouncy, altho i am NOT saying benito couldnt have done 142 cm without the help of the stage.Actually ive been training hard and just back on my bike, so i will test this weekend if i can come close or beat it , but its different in a contest you know. I dont know why but i can do higher over rope then onto an object, might be my wrist injury but again , well impressive these jumps and maybe soon trials riders will get close to the "magic" 1.50m ! =)BTW, benito seems to have planned that, as he used different lighter and more bouncy tires on his bike =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
