Dude if you think about it its like the perfect jump for it just the way the take off and landing are built it could easily be done (not be me of course not skilled enough) by someone with mad skills

ya.....

personaly there were two reasons for his fall. the first and most important reason was that he has always rode his 55pound mountain cycle out there and switching to a 39 pound bike with less travel meens your gona go much further in the air. thats what really hurt him. the other reason that's not really even a reason but just an opinion, is that the lip got changed so you go less high and more far, in other words more mellow so i think that caught him by surprise to?

Should ahve taken a bit more time to get use to the new bike possibly?

ya they completely took it away.......no fun any more. i have to brake check twice as hard as i did before just to stay on the landing decently.
Thats gay! if its more mellow then it doesnt make for nearly as cool pictures!

Ya pretty much everybody has a fully.....I know what you mean though just had to give you a hard time! Although mine isnt too bad cause its a super short wheel base but it still weighs about 50 pounds so getting her in the air is a bit of a struggle

Anyone know if it rained in SST today? I'm thinking about bringing my ride to work to hit SST after work tomorrow, but I don't want to bother if it's raining down there. It hasn't rained a drop in Lynnwood, but the stupid Seattle Times says it supposed to be raining right now.

you need more speed than I tought. Some clay over the roots on the run in will help a lot, as well as some on the landing of the tabletop.

If it did rain down there, it probably wasn't much...likely enough to make it good & tacky tomorrow. I'm planning on heading down there early-mid afternoon tomorrow...or Saturday. Both?

if anybody is going to be building down there I might show up. All the rain doesn't really make me want to ride.

I celebrated the holiday yesterday pretty hard and kind of overslept today.:dead:
Looks like it was pissing rain something fierce last night/this morning. I'll be down there tomorrow...initially to ride, but if the riding isn't going well I will likely bust out the shovels, etc.

Well, I guess I could have rode after all. Beautiful evening. I used the time I would have been riding to put some new rubber on my Knolly. I found some 2.6 Kenda Kinetics at Performance for $10 a tire! Sweet!

Nothing pimps your ride faster than a new set of rubber. I hope they don't suck. I took off an 2.7 Maxxis Mobster that was getting pretty bare.

Also added an Azonic HeadLock to my headset. Wow, that sucker really secures your fork. No chance of that coming loose now.
