[DH_slave]

i think he has a shit style when he jumps. but some of that stuff looks pretty decent.

[allstar]

benders amazing... but i didnt know he did trials??

[dirt rider]

Man he is a nutter , that first drop he did was huge

[JonesyBIGHIT]

mad man, he comes off alot but he doesn't give up.

[FR Drew]

Oh Goody, another Bender thread...:rolleyes:

I give it 15 minutes before the:
"Bender is a huckwit"
"OMG, Bender is a god and has done so mcuh to further the sport..."
"Natural selection will be when he dies..."
"Bender has so much more talent than you, shut the fark up"
"Talent is not axing yourself off a 50 foot cliff, Gracia et al have way more skills and style..."

My take:
The man has elephant balls and gnat brains.
He does stuff that most of us would never contemplate but that doesn't make him clever.
From the grabs you hear he's an egotistical wanker who's seen a few too many Nike commercials when he was a kid. Of course, he may be happy to be portrayed that way...

Rather watch Hill, Rennie, Barel, Graves, Gracia, Peat, Atherton... than watch or listen to Bender. Props for the elephant balls though. (even if it is dumb)

That was funny for a number of reasons. He says "when I see people try and do the things that I do and hurt themselves, I just smile and say 'natural selection.'" He has the right to say this because he just lands soooo much stuff and never gets hurt. is always falling and getting hurt. The second reason it was so funny was because the last clip is of him jumping of a chiropracter, quite ironic really. And yes, he does have crap style in the air, I don't know what it is called but he pushes and pulls the front up and down or he has his back wheel really far down. Oh well, he makes more money that most of us here and he does have the balls.

[derelikt]

Yeah not too bad.

[allstar]

its called stem rooting

[Mojo]

man if anything i give it to him, he has balls. he likes to drop that back wheel off drops but

[cody/bogen]

Josh bender is the biggest BOONER in the world. He gives a bad name to mountain biking, he is the absolute epitome of a Hucker.... No skill, Defenitely no style. "Natural selection" what a dick!
Oh and 'FR DREW'..... your a booner too.

[Bart man]

HAHAH he is such a crazy fool...such a hack though like those stem rooters!!1

[Gudsell]

He said that he just shakes his head at people trying what hes doing, but isn't he landing only like 10% of the stuff he does? Props for trying but hes been pretty lucky not ending up dead doing some off that stuff.

dont go in here there is a boot

[Randy Rhoads]

He is better than you guys will ever be. Sure he might be a bit arrogant or whatever but he is a good rider and making MTBing a lot more popular which is good.

I didnt know he rode trails either. So you cant say that he has no skill because the trails riding he was doing was fairly good aswell!

[finny_447]

Just the way fr drew predicted.
I think he is a wanker with no skill who doesn't know his own limits.

[ob_12]

i agree, he has fallen off so much that it has knocked all the sence out of him and is just doing more and more stuped drops.

[dcrofty]

watching any footage of him is like driving past a car accident. You know that there are so many reasons why you shouldn't stare but you feel strangely compelled to look.

HAhahahahahahahahahaha... That was gold. Personally I dont give a shit what Bender does, because hes a Dickhead Hack, but I do dislike his personality from what I've seen of him talking.

Most arrogant MTB'er in the world, taken one to many to the head I say.

Just thought i'd make my contribution to the opinions of bender, which happens in every thread brought up. I wonder if hes ever read the threads on him...

[.:Easily:.]

he is such a hack

natural selection WTF!!!

[Matt H]

taken one to many to the head I say.


Hah, you mean about 261 too many to the head?

[Jon]

Big balls but not much between the ears.What about the last drop off the chiro?
Then the semi swerves to avoid him and takes out a bunch of people in a head-on.I wonder what his sponsors think?Thats ALOT of gear getting trashed.:eek:
Hope its all worth it cause in 10-20 years time his body is going to pay back his ego in spades.
cheers jon

[benmwatkins]

man that footage is super old. like 3/4 years ogo or more

[riley ht]

dont really know much about him, but i agree i hate his style. he like leans back so much in the air its probly half the reason he crashes so much.
hes got ball though

[Giantrider]

theres a place for going big....
but bender natural selection my ass.... theres more scenes where he crashes than where he lands smoothly.... hasn't he broken his back??? natural selection and a broken back :rolleyes:

[FR Drew]

As long as he's dead before he breeds Mr Darwin will be satisfied.

New signature quote. Thats hilarious. Still as much as it may appear that he has progressed the sport that is true to a degree but in all honesty its the Peats and the Rennies and Hills in racing and Romo and Super 'T' who actually have style, alot more skill then him and make the sport look good, that make it go places. Hats off to Bender though, his balls are bigger then his brains.

[Quintin]

yeah that footage is old and from the down videos. but holy shit what an IDIOT!. its like he never learned to ride a bike, just one day he rolled off a huck for a bet or something. in fact all bender's stunts look like hes only doing it because someone is waving a welfare cheque at the bottom. he cannot ride a bike and has the most self destructive riding style ive ever seen.

whoever sponsors him is paying to have mountainbiking destroyed by reputation.

[4x man]

i hat his style but man hes mad i think he has been out in the sun for to long or something but hes surly got a few loos screws

[rednightmare]

benders amazing... but i didnt know he did trials??

thats not bender.

[julianwisbey]

yeh becase if it was he atualy would sometimes land drops and have Some style which he clearly doesnt have hes just a red neck hillbillie who doesnt value his life

[Randy Rhoads]

thats not bender.

It isnt, How do you know?

[Alec McJo]

I just watched that video again, and wtf what is with this guy.

Why does he say when he see's ppl TRY what hes DOING, when the fact is he's actually just the same as them... he's TRYING it, not doing it...

:confused:

I really dont get that mentality, I hope he reads one of these threads one day.

[rednightmare]

It isnt, How do you know?

its just footage from the down movies synced to different music. pretty sure the trials riders are 'mikey mayhem' and 'v-dub'.

[Legally Red]

wat a hack!
Bender needs some style for
a present this coming christmas

[bransly]

talk about stickin at it

[bunya_freerider]

he has alot of balls but always flat lands it...he dont have that good style

[dcrofty]

the bloke needs to pick some more compacted landings. the number of times his front wheel digs in and he gets pitched over the handlebars is way to high
