nobody inspects their rims often or thoroughly enough... I had something kinda like that happen to me once, I was rippin down a trail on my previous 8 inch dh rig (at least as fast as our random hero from the video) and I got just a little bit of air(less than 12 inches off the ground). My front tire then landed on a small, and smooth rock, my bike stopped I kept going, head first like superman style... I was trying to figure out why I crashed as I went back to my bike and found out why when I saw my rim looked like [B]PAC-MAN [/B]waca waca waca.... it broke at the weld... when a rim wants to break its going to break, but either way you probably shouldn't be gapping a jump to flat ground on a hardtail.
