to watch it correctly you need to tilt the phone so the trees are growing vertically

Would help to have someone bold the camera level, or you’re going to tell me every three in sight is at a 20 to 30 degree lean.

So steep that even the trees in the background are leaning

it still looks steep but that camera angle makes it look steeper than it really is, had to tilt my phone almost 45° to make the horizon in the video flat 😭

Bottom of the old WC track in Andorra is a 70% slope.
Riding steep is one thing, but finishing a race run (I race twice Master Worlds on that track) with a vertical shoot is something else.
You are cooked, brake are done, and one year we had wet conditions.
Still a lot of fun though.
PS: plus you had a to launch a massive drop landing flat right before the finish line.
Its hard to answer this because the longer the roll is OR the harsher the transmission, the steeper it feels. With that in mind, this is NOT the steepest one I’ve hit, but its one of the most photogenic:

The steepest one is probably this very small roll in Lynn Woods, right off of Sharks Tooth, that is probably only 8 feet tall give or take. But it essentially goes what feels like totally vertical, then scoops back out just in the nick of time. Its very sketchy but doesn’t look like much when you are watching someone else do it, and I don’t think I have video of it.

OP this isn’t the flex you think it is.

Once the trees are vertical…

A street curb.

You had a big rocky send. Big ups

This is actually really flat, all the trees are growing at a 45° angle
