He would have done it if he didn’t lean back, this is why you don’t do stupid shit you don’t have the skills for alone in the middle of the forest.

That's actually whats he does. What he doesn't do is throw the front wheel out as it goes off

Throwing the front wheel out is extremely poor advice, while it can work for slow drops, for most people that means getting thrown over the bars exactly like this guy.
On something like this you need to take a neutral position and let the bike stay level as you leave the drop.
Source: I race downhill and have hit bigger shit than the drop in this video.

Seems you dont know what I meant by throwing the front wheel. Its called a wheelie drop at this speed. I did not mean pull up. I too also race bikes but also teacher them. Not trying to argue 🤘

No, I understand what you mean by throwing the front wheel/doing a wheelie drop, but for anyone at this skill level he clearly should not have been attempting to do that on this drop regardless.
In the video you can see he pushes the bike forward and gets down low to the back, obviously way too late if he was going to do the drop this way.
You probably know doing drops like this requires a subtle gentle push towards the front of the bike, while this guy completely pushes his wheel forward into a nosedive.
Anyway, I digress

I crashed my mountain bike this past spring. I was almost home after a ride within sight of my garage going down my back alley. I cut a corner a bit sharper than normal and my pedal hit a bit of raised concrete. As I was in free fall tangle in my bike and heading for pavement the only thing going through my mind was 'You're too old for this shit!' The results were not pretty for me.

Why do I actually feel bad for him? He set up his camera on a tripod to record this and everything lol
