Need a superlative? Erik Fedko flies over the forest

Erik Fedko Slopestyle Above The Trees Button

Superlatives are standard when Red Bull produces a video. The latest clip with German slopestyler Erik Fedko takes the spectacle to the extreme in terms of both riding and construction.

The accompanying text from the energy shower manufacturer, which is also a media empire, is teeming with figures. The take-off platform is 24 meters high, the kicker is 3.65 meters high and there was only 3 meters of space on each side when it landed. We would also like to know how many tons of wood were used for the course. The filming took place in the Green Hill Bike Park in Sauerland, which was extended with a few extras for Eriko Fedko...

The aim was obviously for the German slopestyler Erik Fedko to show off his tricks above the treetops. According to his own statement, he accepted the fact that the constructions, as heavy as they may be, swayed slightly, that he was exposed to the wind and was blinded by the sun. Apparently the run-up ramp did not provide enough speed, so Fedko took off from a 3-meter-high tree trunk, bike in hand, via a "ninja drop". It was "terrifying" up there. We take his word for it.
