I havent clicked the link pero Im sure thats Dave Watson's road gap from a few years ago. That stunt was also featured in Disorder 4. Here's a pic: That pic is one of my fave Scott Markewitz pics. Asked what was the point of the jump, Watson said he "wanted to celebrate the progression of cycling. We're in a rad sport and I wanted to do something to help get it to the masses. Whether people think I'm a hero or a zero, I don't care. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but the only person in jeopardy was me." Fair enough to me.

Yup it was Dave W. but he should have nailed it ... not spilled like a can of beans Everytime you invite conflict, try your best to come out ...well respectable at least

too bad he crashed. that would have been a classic mtb moment. dat true but i'm really wondering why he crashed. too fast rebound? bad terrain? wrong landing approach?

this pic was during hmm...was it 2005 Tour de France? definitely not 2006. They let all those vying for the yellow jersey before this stunt was done. if i remember correctly he did one practice run, then just went for it when the race day came.

And hes got some brake problem prior to the jump but went through rather than missing his chance.
