Finally got the balls to attempt RT yesterday. Thanks to Zack I prolly wouldn't of tried, but by the fifth attempt I cleared it sweeeeet, I was even able to ride right out of it and hit the big jump after it! Some video footage will be posted within the week along with a few pics! Anyone down for hitting the shed next sunday????

Oh yes, yes, the question had to be asked!
The Rusty trombone is a sexual term that many of the people on the virginia board performed on each other while they were in Canada. It involves the motions of playing a trombone, and is called "rusty" for a reason.......
I almost wish I did'nt know .haha
Urbandictionary.com can help you out. Actually, it might just hurt you. It hurt me.HillLilly said:
Ouch... yep...Capt. Jack Sparrow said:
It's called RT so that, when deciding what trail to run, everyone can hear people actually say, "Let's do RT."
the answer that would scare me is WHO came up with it???
not to get all pink bike'ish on here, but its always hard to tell from pics what are the dimensions like on that thing???
i haven't been to the shed in 2 years

I think the general concensus between the group who went to whistler was when stunts were made at the shed they would be named after obscure sexual terms. And since mr. dbr was head of construction he named it. And height of drop to the tip of the tranny is prolly 8ft and the overall drop is prolly 9-11ft.
i was gonna say did dan come up with it, but i didn't want to call him out like that!!
some define a rusty trombone as the following:
Getting the reacharound while getting your salad
tossed. Also known as milking the prostate.
hahaha

It is a little more orally involved!
DßR said:yeah, andrew is dead on. 8ft lip-to-lip, about 12ish if you overshoot the tranny (coughcoughbrianpcough)... Adam, you up for a little RT action in a couple weeks??? I know you'd be all over that.....
Yeah, the 12 feet feels really good if you just kinda tumble off it onto your head. I suggest everyone try it
