The elusive Splat in his natural environment.

Splat failing on a log ride. I told him this is the photo I was going to post because it is worse than the other one I have of him in the same spot.

that 'gap' is not a gap, you can land on that middle part

that 'gap' is not a gap, you can land on that middle part

Look at the picture a bit harder, you see the transition, but from that angle you don't see the back of it.... It's a gap.

 

[PatBranch]

This one? It wouldn't be ideal to land in the middle...

IF_rider hitting a New Small Gap jump

I think he means this one. You can't see it from above, but there is a deep hole between the rock take off and the landing, so it is a gap.
