ATTEMPTING THE MOST INSANE JUMP I HAVE EVER SEEN!!

Is this the most INSANE jump ever that has been built by Nico Vink!?
We decided it would be great fun to escape the winter blues in the UK and take a short trip over to Spain so we could hit the dry trails. In this video we ride the super cross line before heading up the hill to find the pro line. This line is built by Nico Link and is a loose fest style line with insanely HUGE jumps and the most interesting corkscrew feature! I am using my fully custom Ghost RIOT full party enduro bike to tackle these dream MTB trails!
I hope that you enjoy this video!

Great job Tom. And as for the need to look to each other for guidance and support.....well said. What a lovely way to demonstrate and show by example. 😎

This was an amazing insight into how truly technical and massive these courses are getting. Good on you for showing a real battle, and not just throwing the footage away. You will be back for sure! Cheers from CA! 🤙🏼

I have such immense respect for people who have a tremendous amount of control over their skill. Tom clearly is one of these impressive people in the bike world, but what I find more impressive is the "control" and approach of the process. To be able to articulate what you're doing, why, what risks you're identifying, how you assess for yourself - so others can learn and keep themselves safe is beyond impressive and meaningful to viewers like me. Thanks and mad respect.

That is an insane jump, love the idea of it, very clever thinking. The speed you were going round it is crazy and you will probably fly 200ft out of the lip but like you say, knowing the speed is so important so to follow someone would make doing that so much easier, good luck when you get back to it.

I am happy you looked at this jump, tested the run up, and realized it's not worth the risk. I feel like in our sport people go at stuff with a "Just Send It" attitude. A true professional like yourself knows when to come back another time and like you said, wait until you are with others who can ride it and see how they do it or even follow them into it to learn the speed. I was at "Drop The Hammer" over a year ago in Bentonville, AR USA and I really wanted to do the big drop, but I was by myself and didn't know the speed to approach it at so I didn't try it. And I know I can do it. But my biggest concern is going too fast and landing way down at the bottom of the downside. Thanks for sharing and helping others understand that it's okay to not try something if you are not feeling it.

Fair play Tom, you could have thrown caution to the wind and just gone for it, but that would have been massively risky. I remember your bad crash a couple of years back, and how long you had to be out to recover. Massive respect for knowing your own limits.

Great video and I think we all have empathy with your humanity to not completing something you so very much want to - crikey I had one of those today out on a red descent and ruined my confidence. I do feel though that this comes from too much eMTB and the reliance of the motor giving you the higher average speed so perhaps more hours on a non-e Enduro would give you that push to have carried that speed in the bowl. Anyway - you (and Kara) are so inspiring and always get me back out riding the next day 👍🏻

Just jump it. You done much crazier jumps before. You had the speed. You just need to commit. Honestly, I can't believe you need special permission to ride that. I rode pump tracks that were more gnarly than that. Down voted.
