Markham Crew Shreds Alafia 2019 - Swamp Gap Crash

[@FloridaTrailrider]

Great vid bro. Awesome edit.

[@XCBen]

Ernie! Thanks bud! I really, greatly appreciate that!

[@Running_with_Faith]

Holy Turd! Like...I felt that! I seriously was holding my breath after that crash! I am relieved to see that he was okay...but damn! That is like....a serious jump!

[@XCBen]

Its definitely a no joke jump. This is far beyond my mountain biking capabilities. Great to watch though. Thanks for tuning in.

[@rmpoole1302]

That gap jump though!!! How do you know you're ready for that

[@XCBen]

Yea, it's epic. I didn't hit. I knew it wasn't for me. Its ony for the top few pro's. Th e run up speed you need plus the gap size pushes me to "nope". Hahaha.

[@rmpoole1302]

@@XCBen I wanna get good enough to hit it! I'm still scared of that lip on the last jump is the jump line at Markham though lol. I had a nice helmet breaking fall there about a month ago.

[@rwogmtb-ridingwitholdguy]

I see a bunch of new stuff at Alafia since we visited last year, most above my level but the berm looks fun, nice riding.

[@XCBen]

Thanks bud! Yea, the gap is passed my riding level. But the berm and jump are right there where my skills end. Thanks for checking out my channel.

[@Jamesrtgr]

that was awesome all the different angles looked perfect! Editing is getting better as well super interesting!

[@XCBen]

Thanks a lot James! Means a lot coming from you.

[@Jamesrtgr]

@@XCBen you're welcome! keep it up!

[@albakuf696]

How can i get to the swamp jump, everytime I go, i can never find it.

[@XCBen]

I don't even know. I followed a local.

[@ToogyHowser]

holy SMOKES that case!! hope that dude is ok!! I really need to come down to Florida next winter and ride!

[@XCBen]

He was ok. Well the next day. That day he felt like garbage. Luckily nothing broke and his bike was even fine. The next day he rode motorcross. You should dude. Come on down and we'll hit some sweet trails. 😀

[@DROCKJAMO]

how did he tow them in? Dirtbike? I wanna try it but Im worried I might not clear it without a tow in. Ive seen multiple videos of people coming up short because they don't have enough speed.

[@XCBen]

We got towed in by a local who built it names Dustin. Try getting with a local and matching their speed.

[@WillOrtizVlogs]

Gray job Ben!!!

[@XCBen]

Thank you, William!

[@CogitoErgoSum67]

Dammmn that looks awesome, I didn't see that when I went last week. Definitely need to go back just to try this

[@XCBen]

Where do you live? Thanks bro.

[@beemtb6996]

Nice edit! That gap looks intense! That kid took a nasty fall, hope he is healing up quick.

[@XCBen]

That kid went home and slept it off . The next day did motorcross. Hahhaa. Thanks a whole bunch Steve. I still have to watch your video of Bunker hill. Saw the beginning and it looks great!

[@beemtb6996]

Good to hear, he is good. Thanks mang, I had fun putting together the short clip to share.

[@xXJibblesXx]

How long must I wait?! Can't wait to be able to jump like that one day.

[@XCBen]

The premire is at 7:00pm lol. I didn't jump it. That's way past my skill level.

[@XCBen]

Its live now lol

[@xXJibblesXx]

@@XCBen Good stuff!

[@CookingwithKory]

I missed this! You guys are nuts!

[@XCBen]

Oooo, this is my favorite edit. Glad you stumbled upon it

[@XCBen]

Oh, and yes! We are nuts. Hahaha

[@lovenaturegermany]

A really good video 👍👏👌💪Thank you for sharing. I wish a nice weekend, best regards LOVE NATURE.

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Tundra! Man that place was packed! A lot of gap jumpers, was that kid alright?

[@XCBen]

The locals said it was one of the busiest days they have seen. I can jump but gaps are a no go for me. I'd rather watch. I am surprised they all went for it even though the first run went so bad.

[@BikeLifewithRob]

I’m a no go on gap jumps as well, I witnessed a missed jump while there as well, scary!

[@MissingLinkMTB]

I want to go so bad... this year looks bleak though.... maybe this coming winter

[@XCBen]

Do it brotha. When in NC during Winter come on down. I'll ride with ya.

[@alexramos9459]

Look at me mom I in the video lol Nice video and what a crash to remember

[@XCBen]

Thanks Alex!

[@yuwmcanadian4444]

edited like a pro, great job what kind of gimbal do you use??

[@XCBen]

Thanks bud! No gimbal. Just a gopro7

[@yuwmcanadian4444]

wow! great job @@XCBen

[@eastcoastsingletrack5170]

One of my favorite gaps 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@XCBen]

I never hit it. My friends did. It's an epic gap though.

[@joeyventuring]

great editing. i like the logo.

[@XCBen]

Thank you so much, Joey! I had a friend of mine design it with ideas from me and some of my friends on Facebook. So in a way it was a group effort.

[@kosullivan24]

love this one. came up on my recommended

[@XCBen]

Ah, sweet! This is one of my favorites! Thanks for sharing how you found it. I love finding out how subscribers and non subs find my videos. Happy New Year!

[@kosullivan24]

@@XCBen For sure, you're essentially famous. Let's collab. You take me out riding = I face plant.

[@XCBen]

Well we could do a collab on how yoga is beneficial for mtb? Since lower back pain kills!

[@kosullivan24]

@@XCBen very true!

[@raczrides4031]

Video came out awesome dude! Hope Kody is doing alright. I'm riding Wednesday if you're around.

[@XCBen]

Thanks bro! I am really proud of this one. Kody was alright immediately the next day. I took a spill yesterday so my shoulder is messed up. Might be able to Wednesday but no promises.

[@mattdeso1672]

hahah, I can't wait for this!

[@XCBen]

Me neither! Trip was rad!

[@mattdeso1672]

@@XCBen Video was worth the wait!

[@XCBen]

@@mattdeso1672 Glad you liked it

[@YourOwnAdventure]

Ohhh man!!! That's a scary one to send blind. Hope hes okay. Looking g forward to watching. Did you send it?!?!?!?!

[@XCBen]

I did not send the gap. No way. All the guys that did have been in the jumping game for years. They also hit the drop they just built.

[@YourOwnAdventure]

Wow... did he recover from that? Looked gnarly.

[@XCBen]

He did. The next day he rode motocross. Kid is a beast! Much respect for him.

[@LeBoosLeisure]

I don’t know man. I have broken bones from motorcycle accidents. Plus I’m in my 40’s so I’m like....is it worth it? If I had only started mountain biking earlier in life but at this stage, I don’t think I can ever make that jump. My luck, I land right on a gator!

[@XCBen]

Its a scary gap. I just wanna be clear and saybI didn't hit it. My friends did. Well 4 of them lol. I'd never hit it. Too much risk involved.

[@lujangaming2354]

Awesome channel you have my full support I dropped a big like keep it coming my friend let's stay connected

[@XCBen]

Sounds good man. Thanks!

[@lonewolf30531]

Cool guys with no pads .

[@XCBen]

Ah yes. They would think so. I think a few had them though.

[@averagemtbrider5497]

Swamp gap better left to the men and iam still a boy!!! Lmao my wabbles are no where close to big enough!!

[@XCBen]

I can't make that jump. Or maybe I could. I'd never try though hahaha

[@averagemtbrider5497]

I could have made that man! Next time you come up this way lmk on Instagram and I’ll meet up bro! Would be a pleasure to ride with you!

[@XCBen]

For sure man. I didn't even think of it. My friends invited me last minute. Next time for sure.

[@KelvinClimber]

what a cool jump you definity need balls to do that big jump, good to see in the comments all went well with the guy in the comments

[@XCBen]

Yes sir. That is why I didn't do that gap. My balls are still maturing LOL
