Pink Bull Hardline is arising this weekend. This 12 months’s course has numerous adjustments, however there’s one that’s getting all the eye: the brand new canyon river hole. For the video above, Matt Jones known as it the scariest soar of his life. Whereas which may be a little bit of hyperbole for Youtube consideration, there isn’t a doubt that this soar is very large with excessive penalties.
Claimed to be 75′ lengthy, the hole is barely 3′ longer than the Canyon Hole at Pink Bull Rampage that Kelly McGarry famously backflipped. But, the Hardline hole simply seems gnarlier probably as a result of imposing nature of the scaffolding used for the takeoff and touchdown coupled with the loss of life drop beneath.
Throughout testing of the hole, Bernard Kerr was the primary to guinnea pig the soar touchdown it cleanly. Matt Jones adopted Bernard with a sucessful try. However on the third attempt, Jim Monro bailed midair – thankfully making it to the touchdown with out his bike. Whereas he took a giant slam to the top, Jones says that Jim is OK and with none damaged bones. It feels like there will likely be some adjustments made to the soar prior to now and race day, so hopefully Jim’s crash would be the first and solely on the brand new characteristic!
