nice. glad your stoked. hell i can barely stick an 8 foot. only done it once.
it's not how big you go,it's the size of the smile that matters :O)
Sweet, that is such a great feeling isn't it!
If I could only find that feeling on every ride...

the drop is only about 5 feet high but it keeps going down very very steep and where i land its about 3 feet over my head and i'm about 5 foot 10 inches tall but it still feels like you are in the air for like 5 second.. it is so tight. it is not really matained at all we had to rip out a tree about 3 inches thick to do it and i cleared all the leaves and sticks and stuff away so it would be a clean landing. i can't wait to do it again maybe tomarow i can take some pics if i can get my damn camera working.
Nice bro' I can still remember my first stunt. I went back to it the other day as a matter of fact. Just keep hitting it until it is all second nature to you. Don't worry about rushing to go big. It is all about the ride.
you just gotta love that feeling, savour it cause youre not going to get it
again of that drop
again of that drop
that's cool. i'm glad to see people exited by doing new stuf. but don't worry about going bigger. learn on small stuf. learn to become smooth, and style it out a bit before going biger. trust me, i've pushed my limits too far and it resulted in a broken wrist... twice... the first time it was both of my wrists. so, push your limits, but don't do what you can't handle. and don't get too cocky. no one wants that.
Good work! You're new to this sport but already hit an 8 foot drop? That's crazy enough for me. It took me years and years to even want to do anything over 2-3 feet. This week I finally hit something over 10 feet.
It sure is a good feeling isn't it? Post up some pics!
