Not meaning to be that guy, but man, that landing was looking very, very small to begin with.
yeah i was thinking the same thing, probably should have just rented a skid steer and re-shaped the entire pile
what landing?
Same, that looked like a straight send to the hospital
@@mateosevillabaeza8039 And it was.
Jumps like this at hardline or rampage have like 100ft of runout
75ft drop with 8ft landing fair play mate
Imagine overshooting it.. would be bender stuff x10.
the fact that you could film an entire outro after merging with your bike from a 70 foot drop crash is astonishing. glad to see you still alive and well
Builder error. That feature was doomed to fail with that landing
So preposterously narrow and short for the scale, still... super gnarly to see a hugey like that.
That landing was fugged
This ... Even from the gopro footage you can tell that the landing is too far, too flat, too narrow and no where near packed enough. Respect for still deciding to send it though ..
@@maymayrice6962 as punishment the builder should hit the jump next.
Glad you are okay. Did the crash knock any sense into your head?
This is scary AF. In Russia, we have a local freerider legend, Kirill Benderoni (I believe he is living in Poland now). He had a wildcard Rampage invitation in 2013 and rode in the Fest Series, so he definitely has the skills. In 2018, he had a serious crash at his local spot (also went short) and sustained a diffuse axonal injury (DAI). He was very lucky to recover to a state of self-sufficiency, which took him more than two years, there were many donation campaigns both here and abroad. I don't want to scare you, just a reminder that the line between being very lucky and ending up in a vegetative state for the rest of your life is incredibly thin. Be safe.
It only takes one Lew. You fracture a vert and you'll be racing in a wheelchair mate. This type of stuff isn't worth the consequences, not just for you, but your family.
He doesn't care about his family, so that argument won't work on him.
Sheeeeeeeeit.
Big baws to even consider this.
😂
On the run-ins it was plain as day where the bike would end up, and that was on the side of the landing, exactly where it all ended.
That run in was so short, tech and that jump (skip) across to the run in at the skinny drop is so short, getting set up well enough and timing was always gonna be the test too.
I mean it looks like complete death, he's got some balls.
That's the first thing I saw as well. He was going left...that landing area was way off.
@@Wee-Lee-MTB I reckon he's brain is the size of his balls....
On the Shore we called that a "Dansition" back in the day. Dangerous Dan would make 15'+ drops with a bike length transition, that was in the 90's and early 00's, we've since moved on from doing silly things like that.
You should watch Mark Matthews latest video, he spent over 100 hours building just the landing for a 20'x25' drop, he posted the video today of him finally hitting it, it was butter. Way more process to what Mark did, he even changed his run in to make it more comfortable at the last moment.
Lewis was flying by the seat of his pants on this, run in was super sketchy, landing was awful, it's a wonder he wasn't injured worse than he is.
I don't build "big drops", but even as a regular trail builder, I could see from the start this wasn't going to work, the landing needs to be at least 15' closer and twice as tall/steep and that would still be sketchy, because it is just too big a vertical drop.
Your Only FAN is Jesus on this day.
Onlyfans? Jesus
Jesus blew from the front, that's why he missed the ramp! This damned son of a bi......🤣
Good luck with your speedy recovery!!
Thanks
Most mental thing I have seen on a mountain bike. Wild man!!!
entry was in my view waaaay way to short and wind/eee....amazed he walked away no bones broke...Amen ~
Brage type $hit! 😤🔥
He doesn't have body like Brage tho, That Viking can take a hit
Without brage’s team of viking builders.. if the landing was a few ft wider and better packed he would have ridden it out. Massive props though for still sending it.🤝
This also looks like the stuff Jordie Lunn liked to send
straight up
I've watched a million videos of this type of thing, Redbull Hardline videos etc, but this was the only time I audibly panicked when I saw those initial run-ups and the take off. That was completely terrifying man, glad you're OK. Also the fact you just resumed filming moments after that insane crash to talk about what just happened is.. bonkers. I would have probably just laid there for a few hours before calling in a helicopter, assuming I broke every bone and ruptured every organ lol
Get well soon!
Glad you're alright mate! - I completely understand everyone has their own thing that give them kicks in life, I wish more people understood that, just because they don't like it doesn't mean others don't or can't.
I did the (rough) maths.
To determine the speed you need to go to land a jump that has both a vertical drop and horizontal distance, you can use the principles of projectile motion. Here's the step-by-step process to find the necessary speed:
1. **Calculate the time to fall 50 feet vertically:**
The formula to find the time (\( t \)) it takes to fall a certain distance (\( d \)) under gravity (\( g \)) is:
\[
d = \frac{1}{2} g t^2
\]
Here, \( d = 50 \) feet and \( g \approx 32.2 \) ft/s² (acceleration due to gravity).
Solving for \( t \):
\[
50 = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 32.2 \cdot t^2
\]
\[
50 = 16.1 \cdot t^2
\]
\[
t^2 = \frac{50}{16.1}
\]
\[
t^2 \approx 3.11
\]
\[
t \approx \sqrt{3.11} \approx 1.76 \text{ seconds}
\]
2. **Calculate the required horizontal speed:**
The horizontal distance (\( x \)) you need to cover is 50 feet, and you have \( t \approx 1.76 \) seconds to cover that distance. The formula for horizontal distance in terms of horizontal speed (\( v \)) and time is:
\[
x = v \cdot t
\]
Solving for \( v \):
\[
v = \frac{x}{t} = \frac{50}{1.76} \approx 28.41 \text{ ft/s}
\]
To convert this to a more familiar speed unit, such as miles per hour (mph):
\[
1 \text{ ft/s} \approx 0.681818 \text{ mph}
\]
\[
v \approx 28.41 \times 0.681818 \approx 19.37 \text{ mph}
\]
So, you would need to go approximately **28.41 feet per second** or **19.37 miles per hour** to land on the landing that is 50 feet down and 50 feet away..
The question is, were you going ~32kph off the ramp? Probably not quite.
Also, the vertical speed at the landing would have been about 62kph. So your landing needed about a 2 to 1 slope.
To achieve the smoothest landing, the slope of the landing should match the angle of the trajectory at the point of impact. This means the landing surface should be aligned with the direction of your velocity vector when you reach the landing.
The angle of the trajectory at impact (\(\theta\)) can be found using the components of your velocity: the horizontal velocity (\(v_x\)) and the vertical velocity (\(v_y\)). The tangent of the trajectory angle is given by:
\[
\tan(\theta) = \frac{v_y}{v_x}
\]
Given:
- \(v_x = 28.41 \, \text{ft/s}\) (horizontal velocity)
- \(v_y = 56.67 \, \text{ft/s}\) (vertical velocity)
The angle \(\theta\) is:
\[
\theta = \arctan\left(\frac{v_y}{v_x}
ight) = \arctan\left(\frac{56.67}{28.41}
ight)
\]
Calculating this:
\[
\theta = \arctan(1.995) \approx 63.43^\circ
\]
So, for the smoothest landing, the slope of the landing should be approximately **63.43 degrees** from the horizontal. This ensures that your landing surface is aligned with your velocity vector at the point of impact, providing a smooth transition.
75ft drop with 8ft landing - what could go wrong? Seems safe on 99%.
Glad you're fine, sniper! ;)
Unreal send definitely think you’ve got that feel better soon 🤘🏽
Hope your good man! Speedy recovery❤
This is the best mountain biking video to demonstrate what not to attempt unless you are a professional or testing your limits with caution. The rider, Lewis, is a professional and he tested his abilities to the maximum. Testing one's limits is essential, but it's important to remember that Lewis is an experienced and excellent mountain biker. Despite careful planning, preparation, and the team's knowledge and experience, he still missed the landing on what seemed achievable but dangerous. If he hadn't been in such excellent form, he could have suffered far more serious injuries. Nothing but respect!
When I raced bikes, I took risks and always pushed myself to my limits and the limits of the riders with me but seldom beyond. This was because I felt my form wasn't quite at its peak due to a previous crash or overexertion. During those times when I pushed beyond my limits, I was fully aware of all the risks involved. Yet, I found that I had underestimated my skills almost every time. You cannot truly test yourself unless you TEST yourself! Whenever possible, aim to ride with better riders, seek them out and learn from them! Never become complacent and never think that you have mastered a skill. There is always something new to learn.
lucky dude glad your light is still with us.
Glad you're (mostly) ok. Really looking forward to watching the Tour de Gnar this year.
Absolutely nuts....hand down you crayzy man...Lewis 💪💪💪🤟🤟🔥. Glad to see you well of this crash. Fast recover and shreding ! Mutch love bro ❤
Fair play for recording after that crash 💪🏼 strong AF
I’m heading to the golfie Sunday I will send it 🫣🤣🤪
Pls don’t haha!
@@LewisBuchanan I’m joking bro that’s way out my range of riding, don’t beat yourself up you did amazing 👍🏼🤣
Nobody's hitting that line bro...lol@LewisBuchanan
That was gnarly AF brother! Glad to see you walked away mostly unscathed. Live to ride another day!
Jesus that's crazy dude, big up for giving that a go man 👍, and there was me thinking Wolferine was as sketchy as it got on that hill 🙈
That was crazy stuff. Fair play mate, you have some massive balls for doing that. I can't believe there is no actual footage from the bottom of the drop. What an oversight. But glad you are ok buddy. That was a huge hit judging by those stills.
That’s was gnarly brother, hope you have a speedy recovery. Fingers crossed you’ll be mended for Canada.
Top video, superb effort and hope you heal up soon enough lad.
Respect. So first of all, have this mindset to overcome such a hurdle. Already impressive. As always, my pulse was beating as you rolled onto the cliff. And then the impact. As if it had happened to me myself. I hope you get well again soon.
Best wishes, hope you heal fast!
Mad lad! Get well soon. Looking forward to more of your content.
Dude! Mad respect for sending this!
Glad your still alive mate, hat off for sending it. I ain’t got the balls for that! Keep it up lad
Hopefully you're feeling better soon mate. Looked like a mega line and huge crash so fair play for the 🪨🪨 to try it. Cheers Lew
Look after yourself dude! Glad your healing up! 👍
Bro, that feeling of knowing its gone wrong mid air is so fucked haha, you came out as calm as you went in, im impressed. BUT go and do it again, you owe it to yourself and us. Get well soon my guy
do it again...but maybe build up the landing a bit, and perhaps build out the launch.
Holy effing crap man! Massive gap. Was thinking that whole time there is no bloody way it could be cleared so impressed you were only short by a little. Defo need some R&R now. Seriously impressive tho, hats off
Soooo grateful you’re not completely busted up. The takeoff looked like it was going to send you toward the left side of the “landing”.
Heal up and enjoy BC🤘
You Fooking mad lad 😂😂 Jasus that was a hard hit! Glad you ok bro 👊🏻
Damn bro, I’m glad you’re generally okay holy cow, heal up soon Lew 🙏👊
One of the issues with this is that the pressure / action from the drop went downward . You basically want to be going forward more than down with bigger jumps hence why the landing is at an angle for longer jumps. The force went down due to gravity not horizontal due to speed of motion. That was partly the issue here, compression not forward motion. The soft turf, short landing, and drop not jump all contributed
Dude insane send! Glad You are OK!
The fact the piggyback fully sheared off is a testament to how gnarly that feature is. Hoping for a speedy recovery man 💪🏻💪🏻
Holy Shit Man. Sick Send, get well soon!
The man is a beast. Largest pushup of the year award goes to you mate.
So relieved that your ok. Could have been so much worse. That footage in the air where its clear your not gonna make it was sickening. Guess your built different. Hope you heal quickly.
Lucky you!
Get well soon! 🙏
That drop to landing size ratio was craaaazy dude. Glad you're ok!
Damn, holy crap thats a huge jump/drop. There isn't enough run-in to get speed it looks, but hell, i dont even jump 4 ' jumps, haha. I'm glad to see you survived, man, and i hope you are well 2 weeks later!
Holy shit... I reckon it's quite lucky if you walk away from that in just a few weeks. Huge impact! Pray u heal proper quickly mate :)
Glad you're okay!
Kinda wish we could have seen the footage from the drop
Heal fast dude that was a big one but you took the consequences with absolute professionalism. I hope your all good for Canada 👊
Jeez, this was gnarly! I'm glad you came dry from water!
Not gonna lie man, you walked right into that shit. The landing was built so poorly, along with the run in. I’m not sure how any one of you guys didn’t think this wasn’t a good idea. Hope you heal up well and learn from your mistakes.
Did you even watch the full vid and they thought it was a good idea because he is a pro mtb rider
@@FNCSCLAN257 So that's what makes something a good idea? lol
@@FNCSCLAN257 Doesn't matter how good he is, the takeoff ramp isn't even pointed at the landing ramp, he's not a bird, he can't turn mid air, lol.
Crikey! Get well soon bro.
your ankle must me hella strong to hold that big momentum, glad you are doing well. 🍀
Respect!!!! These days all MTB social media is about you.
😮😮massive hope your all good soon man
You need to tighten that screw pal coz it's way too loose 😂
Fair play though 👊
Speedy recovery!!
That was awesome man. Great send
Love the border collie tattoo! I just got into Downhill from mushing dogs with a bike! Thanks for the inspiration!
Fair play 👏🏻 you nearly nailed it first time 😢
This dude got some huuuge balls to even attempt that damn.
damn. I think I shed a tear watching that outro. like “into battle” bravery. moving
Thanks for allowing us to view your attempt.
I am happy you did not break anything but the shock.
Very happy you're alright but can't stop laughing 😂
Oh My God, that was a Massive Impact and You have so Lucky... Amazing...
Crazy man! Glad you're still in one piece. Lol ,✌🏼
Dude, glad you're alright. That was fuckin gnarly 😂
Dude, you got lucky this time. Hopefully a lesson learned. Don't break your body, or worse... for a thrill.
good to hear that you are good. very heavy big balls you have.
Mate thats mental - Hope recovery is swift
Holy Fuck...
Im sorry but the whole video i was like, nahh that landing is 2 or 3 ft further forward then id want that "in my head"... it was that jankey short run in that kept making me think "he is gonna come up short". The speeds just not there.
Mate i had all things crossed for you but my gut was screaming because of that short almost tech/precise run in onto that skinny...
Full respect for the full send bro 🤟
Hope you heal and recover quick 🙏 💚
Dude 🙈 So pleased you are OK 👍
Dude. That was Mental!
Glad you're ok.
Very ballsy, I would not even think of doing that with a landing that small 😱 (at least it looked very tiny)
Glad you're ok after that 🙏
Ooof big one lew! Glad you're alright, that landing was tiny aye
Heal up soon man!
I don't know what's more mental. Trying this in the first place or talking so casually about it afterwards.
A lot of people commenting on the build, but very few people who actually dig themselves. There was nothing wrong with the take of just a small misjudgement of speed which is easily done. People saying they take of is too flat have no idea.. you make it any steeper and the impact becomes way worse. Kudos for the big send. Its hard in the uk to find, build and something this size. Insane send
I agree. Thanks man appreciate it
Holy shiiiiit you absolute madlad, get well soon
That was brutal... heal well!
Finally someone isn’t crashing over a 5 ft bank and making a whole video about their “crash.” - NOT meaning im glad u got hurt, im not and i hope you heal well! I’m just glad to see an actual video of someone taking a pretty gnarly landing.
Glad you are okay, but when i saw the landing i instantly thought its way to narrow for this size jump. i hope you come back, build it safer and send it!
That reminds of Evil doing the Grand canyon.😮Glad to hear that you came out of that one pretty much unscathed.
Happy your alright dude 😯 you have some balls. But check those calcs as your speed looked good. I hate gaps and would have filled back to the face 🤣
The adrenaline dump after this would've been INSANE.
I'll be honest, not sure that landing was the safest, even if you did get an extra few feet I think you still would've sunk into it.
Huge respect, wonder how that compares to the big rock drop at Hardline. Hopefully you're back on the rig ASAP!
Ur one of the best ma8 😮 ur worth the extra effort dont robe urself of sending send proper fam i wanna watch u ride for ever ride till i die❤
Huge brass balls, my guy. It's awesome that you are ok..
Damn. Hard to watch that one. Hopefully you recover quickly.
Wow that was scary most gnar drop off Ive seen more scarier than Rampage and Hardline no proper landing. Heal up sir!😮
Watching this I felt fear shooting down my arms and legs. I have never reacted like this to a video before. Fuck me. You impressed me there, man.
Hopefully you'll be all better soon. Like you said.... How things can go wrong.....
You are absolutely mental! Hope you have a quick recovery bro! Should of said you where doing it i would of brought the drone
Riding up long hills is what gets me going. Love hardtails, we’re all different.
Get well soon lad madness sending that 👌
Just him approaching the “jump” on the first run, where he hit the brakes you can tell that he was not gonna make it at any decent slope to continue driving down
Biiiig ballls my boy setting up for rampage are you 😂 also glad your okay could of been much worse
