The old kind of bars would just have snapped if you widened them. They had 26 or 26.4 mm centers at best. I’ve seen several snap on much more gentle landings in bike parks… I guess he kept them short to minimize the chances of that happening. At least that is what I could see back then in bike parks with some people.
Truly crazy and dude had some courage. And he was doing these things with old shock and damper tech. Imagine how he'd do with the shock tech we got now.
Bender took a heap of shit back in the day. It practically killed his popularity. Its super funny seeing how appreciated he is now because back then he rose out nowhere and sank just as fast. To me ill always be thankful for this man, but he was a total hack who just had the biggest balls and for that he deserves respect.
The Drops At X Games Have Specially Crafted Very Steep Landings To Soak Up All The Impact. Benders Hits Where Basically Crafted With a Shovel Off Of All Natural Landscape. X Games Still Doesn't Go Anywhere Near The Size Off These Hits. If You Watch Rampage Thats The Size Of This Stuff, And Their Aint No 4 Inch Bikes Ridin Out There. Yop Haha Go Bender!
@@jones1749 a lot of people like to mock him and say he wasn't a skilled rider and that all he did was crash. I disagree, obviously. I think he was a pioneer of the sport, and went bigger than about anyone else at the time.
Can’t believe it took us this many years to widen handle bars
I remember the bmx days Dirty Harry lever on the bend of the bars nowadays it’s huge bars no brakes.

Вот блин отважный!:))
Wow
один дизлайк поставил школьник,который ровняется на Мишаню
Мишаня уже не тот.
@@КириллКоромыслом Кста сейчас он вроде начинает катать
@@ivan1364n на суроне?
Бендер покруче мишани но Мишаня тоже топ но когда он катал. А Бендер это вообще отец фрирайда
Imagine how much better he would have done with wider bars! ...and steeper landings
And tech that wasn’t terrible
I don’t care what you say, Bender will always be a legend in my eyes.
I don't think anyone says otherwise

Road gap absolutly flat. Crazy still

Я до сих пор ржу от того что у Бендера трёхподвес)
да у бендора не трёхподвнс а четрёхподвес
У него был трехподвес на раме карпель Армагеддон и с вилкой марзоччи супер монстер и двухподвес на раме карпель апокалипсис с вилкой аваланч
@@jdsgbsefg ты попутал ,два армотизатора были на апокалипсе , а на Армагеддоне один
@@Momsuranium да, писал когда только узнавал о Бендере
I've never seen anyone with such large balls and so little skill.
More skill than you asshole
