These guys are the definition of balls-out. Especially like the dudes who are riding with t-shirt/jeans and no pads.

Sorry couldn't embed, but click the link - it's worth it.

totally balls out, theres another unedited version I saw on pinkbike.com. They have a lot of the story there too. Those guys are seriously the most insane bikers out there, very wicked drop and they still pull tricks on them. CRAZY!

guess you wouldn't want to get too hot, eh. I wonder how many would opt for a baseball cap if they weren't required to wear helmets. I guess I'll keep my day job... No guts, no glory!

Wow, thanks for sharing that...friggin badass! Some of those shots from the chopper show the penalty for failure...looked like about 8000ft of tumbling and bones snapping. Truly rad.
