on a new handed superman the rider does a superman then throws his hands off, on a holy man, the rider jumps totally off the bike at once, like bails pretty much but the bungy cord brings the rider back on???????

Nah not really I don't think, Homan made it up and he sorta Supermans first then throws the arms, his are just a bit cleaner looking than most others, legs right together and stuff. I'd say they're really the same thing. People can do "Holy Man"s without bungy cords anyway so.

no handed supermans are different to holymans. with a holyman, you go about 1-1.5m off the bike rather then 0.5m with a superman no hander.

1.5 meters f@#k me! correct me if i'm wrong but that sounds impossible without a bungy cord, anyone got any pics of holymans without the cord?

Well yeah 1-1.5m is stupid and impossible without a cord... I dunno who Robbo has seen do them so I won't argue his point, all I'm saying is that from what I have seen, mainly in reference to Homan, he's not that far away. His elbows are bent when he throws his hands off so he's not all that far away... To my knowledge the bungee cord was just for safety/confidence not to actually bring you back to the bike, but I suppose the more insane people might've tried to use it that way...

what?! if the bungy cord was 1.5 metres long, then ur arms would hav 2 be 1.5 metres long to grab the bike! i seen a holyman an the cord was only like 2.5 ft long. and it would b imposible to go 1.5 metres off the bike without the cord unless u like crashin hard.

nah man its not a site its a site. its this little book what came with freerider issue 22 its got all the tricks in it. (but theres probably been more invented in the meantime) as gstyler said its mostly homan that does it i think so maybe try a search for dustin homan or justin. i cant remeber.
