cool video.
I remember seeing that one before.
I lost a little respect for the guy after seeing that.
but I will have to say he's a class act in person.
Let's see if he ever does the same stunt again.
if he does, we will need the immersion 360 cam setup for the full effect...

dimitri never ceases to amaze us.

Dimitri's got an innovative style of tricks that no one else is doing. Call em "old school" or "dangler" or even "kook" but I gots nothing but respect for a near 40yr old guy who's bustin moves nobody else can do.

Astute observation my good man!! When doing the physics calculations for the jump, Dimitri forgot to add 2.735 to the denominator when multiplying the gravity quotient. A critical omission when jumping sharp pointy triangles! Shocked

Eh?

It's a matter of taste I guess, and I'm thinking late thirties is about the prime time when it all comes together:

That space between young and dumb and my back hurts...

That that pic up there, Do I want to yank the fuck out of my shoulder like that?

I don't think so, is that fun to do?

I shouldn't think so...

And these awkward looking unhooked handle passes?

What's up with that? is that fun?

or just hard on you?

I'm thinking awkward with a chance for painful...

eh? I don't know, I can't say I'm envious of these things.

Just me I guess.

There's a point where it's just not recreation any more,

and this ( in my opinion ) is where you start to look outside of yourself for gratification.

The beneficence of the unfulfilled.

Is it good for kiting?

Hm? It's fun to watch

Rock-on with your pants down
fo

PS. he made it clean, and with a letter perfect feather light touch down, two or three times before he ate it...

The last time he didn't have enough juice but he also had no other choice but to go....no bail out option, that's what cost him.
