today, ben watkins, dave aitken and i hit up the 20+ foot drop with about a 25-30ft gap.
i hit it first as i was the only one to have previously done it.. it was all sweet 8) 8) 8)

then ben hit it, no hesitation.. damn he's good.

and we didnt get dave on digital.. he had a biiiiig spill, cased hard on a nose-dive and totally rag-dolled down the landing, resulting in a lot of pain and some broken ribs.. very impressive stack man..
sorry about the shitty quality of the pics, they are just taken from a video and i dont know how to link you to them... they still show how damn big the gap is though, im yet to see something as big in victoria.. if there is, i look forward to doing it! :D

naah that isnt fastrider ben.. it was ben watkins (i think thats how you spell it) from melbourne.. he is one of the 3 dudes that import banshee into aus.. you might see him at some nationals, or FTF races.. he usually rides a scream or a craftworks DHR covered in rockshox stickers, and deemax wheels.. thats what he was riding in the vid..
