its funny how it doesn't look that high in the video, but yet he really "was" that high. i guess the whole forward momentum line has something to do with being able to handle it

I've learned on a bike that when you are going faster, you take less of a hit when you come down. Your momentum is more forward than down, and while you are falling at the same rate, more of the impact is directed into forward motion than crushing impact. I'm not going to try to justify with physics on paper, but my own observation of the physical world has proven this over and over

That would work well on ice. I dont know about you, but I'd rather fall straight down from on top of a bike than slide 20 yards across pavement.
