Nice set, makes you wonder where the NWD guys get the skill/guts to hit the monstrous stuff in the vids.

Can I play WestCoastHucker for a minute? I miss that dude around here...

"Ahhhh... it's little baby jumps. How cute."

Just kidding. Nice work. They look pretty long, and video never does jump size any justice.

lol. me being 6'6" doesnt help either. lips are about 7' each, first jump is around 20', second is like 24'.

after hitting em for a few days im kicking myself in the ass for not doing it sooner. so much more airtime to try out new tricks. up next is suicide no handers, and perfecting tucks.

soon ill be taking my feet off the pedals :shocked:

7x20-24 footers are no joke. Congrats - I'm sure it was killing you to hit them. Looks real smooth in the clips and at height - nice.

I'm an old pussy and perfectly happy in the under 15ft range. 3 kids and a wife at home is my excuse :) But I would love to find a good comfy 20 footer and get it done.

Hey Sealclubber... are you from the Minneapolis area? Congrats on the big set, that's easily the biggest set in the area that's public anyhow.

I live up in NE Minneapolis, spend most of my time at Hwy 8 and on the street, With the occasional visit to Monkey. So far this winter we have a big group of guys that goes to Showcase every Thursday so we can keep riding... you should come on out if you get bored.

I was there NYE day also or maybe that was the 1st... hungover as **** with my buddy. The foam pit is junk and there is not music there but otherwise its one of the more bike friendly places in the cities for sure. 3rd Lair you have to be a street beast to enjoy.
