Bender is the Godfather of true Freeriding. Say what you want, but he must be acknowledged as such. He pushed the limits what could be ridden (hit or miss.) Dropping in and off on his Karpeil is nothing like it would be on the bikes today. Sure he crashed a lot. But that bike just wasn't up to what he was pushing it to do. Karpeil should have named a bike after him. It's amazing he walked away alive and not permanently injured.

Each one of those drops Bender did could be a full vlog style video today. Salute to the God of FreeRide mountain biking!!

Oh Josh made sure the landing was safe.... and here I am thinking hucking a 17m drop off would be highly dangerous. My bad.....

The thing is that because he was the pioneer of huge drops he was basically making it up as he went along. He's the one who showed it was possible so others could learn from it and do it better, he's the one who forced the industry to make better equipment that could handle the things he wanted to do.

24's were stronger and with the less than ideal geometry of the bikes back then 26's would have made the bikes pretty much impossible to mount
