Imagine how butt-puckering it would be to ride down a nearly 200-foot dam, then slam into the water head-first at more than 40 mph. Well, on August 28, a crazy plan to do just that came to fruition, hatched by Primož Ravnik, a Slovenian mountain biker.
Accompanying Ravnik for the stunt were two photographers, Nejc Puš and Peter Podobnik, along with eight other individuals helping with the shoot. Puš and Podobnik both have impressive portfolios, and have each been shooting for about five years, primarily in the realm of action sports.
“Primož [Ravnik] is the man to blame for the location scouting and organizing the whole thing,” Puš said. “He’s let go of the traditional racing attitude and gone his own way. I wouldn’t say he’s pushing the limits, more likely he’s trying to show there is more to this great sport than we could possibly imagine.”
