Biggest 350X air EVER

[sittinguy]

My friends have some private propoerty where they have built an ATV track with 2 large metal ramps. The small one is set at about 20ft that I have hit before. And the new ramp(the big one) was set at 60ft,, they moved it up to 30ft so people could practice it,, So I hit it a few times, It was the biggest ramp I think any 3wheeler has ever hit. The vid does not do this thing justice,, Its an MPEG file and I can't post it ,, its only 186 k,, some one help me post it ??

[OldSchoolin86]

That's cool man. We need that video. I hit a 40ft double with a 200x when I was in high school several times. It is fun.

[ClayW]

Cool, would love to see it. Can anyone hook us up?

[Billy Golightly]

Email it to gridiron@atlantic.net and I'll take care of it for you. If you want to send a higher resoloution one, send it to I'm good for about 500mb there.

ARE we talking height or distance? cause 30 ft distance is nothing,, :naughty: :naughty: :naughty:

Thats what i was wondering, I do 20 foot gaps on my BMX and the quad guys make 20 look small time.

[deathman53]

I do 40? ft table tops all the time.

[sittinguy]

Sent the pic to HondaAtc, It was made with my digital camera in film mode so don't get you hopes up for a good clear picture, And I was talking distance with the 30ft gap. But I ain't talking no table top,, this is a gap, and the top of the ramp is 8ft, its scary looking running up on this thing in 3rd gear, next time we go out there I will get some pics

[Billy Golightly]

Man thats gotta take some balls to hit that ramp like that. Here it is:

[BigGreenMachine]

WOW!!! That is amazing, the X must bottom hard from it though?

[bigredhead]

LOL... nice jump !!! alot of height, you should do that again in the daytime with a better camera !!!

[Dammit!]

Now do a backflip. :w00t:

[ClayW]

Cool. That rocks. Looks like something I would have done back in the day. :D

[Blown 331]

Now do a backflip. :w00t:


I was thinking that the other day. It's been done on a 4-wheeler and even a double black flip on a motorcylce so some one needs to do it on a 3-wheeler. :TrikesOwn

[Dammit!]

and even a double black flip on a motorcylce

Really? I've seen a ton of the single back flips but didn't know anyone pulled off a double already.

[sittinguy]

It was bottoming out pretty good, at the beggining of the clip, when it is stopped you can get a good look at the small ramp. I rode my buddies trx 450, and OMG what a awsome bike. jumps that where hard on the X, the 450 was soaking up like it was nothing. I have another clip from the jump before that one where I did a HUGE nose dive landing, I pulled it off, but it was a clencher,, if you know what I mean :)

[Blown 331]

Yep, I saw in on X-Games a few months a go. He did 2 complete backflips in the air but he landed in foam or something. It was a really far drop so that way he had more time to do it.

[MTS]

looks like alot of fun :D yes now we need a back flip hehe

[TrikeKid]

yeah it was a foam pit. that isnt landing it in my book

[bebeav]

wasn't Travis Pastrana who did this double backflip?

ALP
Beav

[speed20]

ive seen videos of Travis Pastrana and Brian Deegan both do the double back flip.

[trikerider2oo7]

they can do it in the foam pit but not on dirt...cool vid sittinguy

[speed20]

i give it until the summer x games and the double backflip will be done, along with Pastrana actually landing his 360.

[83185s]

well i didnt get that vid when i clicked the link..can someone email it to me..thanks jtetidrick2007@yahoo.com

[Tri-ZNate]

Thats AWESOME! My Dad's friend used to jump his X all the time. The one time, when he was about 16 he went 116ft on his X. When he landed his back tires blew, the frame snapped, and his rear sprocket and axel broke. He never went off that jump again. He only got about ten foot of height. You blew him away there.

how fast was he going to go 116ft and only 10ft high????

[MTS]

how fast was he going to go 116ft and only 10ft high????
my guess would be full out or the story his been horribly mangled from the years...you know how they get sometimes lol ;)

[sittinguy]

Here is my buddy hitting the big ramp at 60ft. You can see the small ramp in the background. The small one is very fun to hit, but still big enough to get respect.

[OldSchoolin86]

My vote is mangled....

[Tri-ZNate]

how fast was he going to go 116ft and only 10ft high????

it probably has been mangled over the years because he has a lot of stories. He had evidence that it happened thats why I believed him. He showed me the weld he put in the frame where it broke and the axle he had redone. I'm guessing 10ft because he was high enough to clear a trailer supposidly.

[MTS]

hmm i think i would prolly piss my self if i went over a jump like that lol at least the first time anyways, with my luck i would fall short and kiss the handel bars lol

[AirManCam]

Sounds like it doesnt wanna run worth a sh!t! What kind of pipe is that? And what other mods are there?

[smokinwrench]

After watching a jump like that.......and thats all you have to say?

I say WOW :beer

[VABCH350X]

Very impressive Sittinguy, you've obviously got some talent, and balls.

[AirManCam]

I would hit that, I mean sure you are high up, but with the landing..its not that bad! I Guess I'm just use to jumping my sleds all the time :w00t:

[Maine_Triker]

That is one sweet vid

[250rrider]

Nice job with the jump, i like the back flip idea...does guiness book of world records have a 3-wheeler section..if they do somebody here must be able to get into it.

[Kintore]

all I can say is you got some Big balls man, my hat is off to you....

[TrikerR]

that looks like a lot of control to keep it steady like that in the air, clap clap.

[Billy Golightly]

I forgot all about this thread and found it on accident. Bump, for people who have not seen it before :)

[Nick_R_23]

3 years later and still nobodys done a backflip? :lol:

-Nick :TrikesOwn

[firefirefire90]

lol that is so awesome. I don't see how you can jump 116ft at only ten feet though :lol:

[Dammit!]

lol that is so awesome. I don't see how you can jump 116ft at only ten feet though :lol:

I've done 60 at only 5 feet on a 200x.

[Kilborg]

Oldy but a goody...Thats a nice little video.

Get any more footage? I do a little freestyle jumping myself (mostly supermans and other simple stuff) only not on a purpose built ramp like that (dirt jumps)


Gotta give ya props on beating the old 350x...Its probably about the equivalent to me taking my xr600r on the mx track...good times but hard on the body and the machine ;)

[NINJA]

"now that's some good clean family fun Cotton"
~Dodgeball~

[McDerry]

I wanna see that on a hardtail...

[Chevy200s]

if I ever get pissed at the world and decide I've had enough, I'll make sure someones holding the camera while I hop on the old ytm 200, haha. No really though that would be crazy. Nice video by the way

[The Goat]

bump for a sweet sweet jump...and a video that's till active.

[GetLowOrGoHome]

3 years later and still nobodys done a backflip? :lol:

-Nick :TrikesOwn

problem is, its guys like us jumping trikes, not pastrana or deagan or that crazy ass that almost pulled off the double backflip on that snomobile at winterX

I like to get a little air sometimes, cant get to crazy on an SX though. maybe once i get my hands on a 350x

[outtaline]

My trike would explode atleast I woldn't have to disassemble it for a restoration:Bounce

[threewheelin-feelin]

just curious you say the 350x cant take the hit very well..but how does the 250r tri-z tecate handle jumps like these?

[NINJA]

Well, it doesn't feel like your landing a Panzer tank when you do it on an R.

[rdlsz24]

Haha can't believe the video is still active. I see the original post is about 5 years old lol.

[UlsterATCFan]

Great vid, that thing looks extremely steady in the air. Wonder what would happen if you attempted that on a 70? shens :lol:

[keister]

does the term "full body cast" ring a bell?

[brapp]

[GetLowOrGoHome]

haha full body cast FTW

[factoryX]

well the way he was jumping it could explain why he only posted 3-4 times....

[Beer_Smurf]

Great to see you in the air.
Reminds me why my old knees hurt.

[atvmxr]

Bump!

Is this the right vid? The old link no longer works.

[Xpress]

WOOHOO lol. Someone has got to have friends with a foam pit. I wanna see a trike backflip :D

[jensenracing77]

that is about a 30 foot gap and landed close to 60 foot. most freestylers go by the gap to tell the distance. by freestyle standards that would be called a 30 foot jump even if in the air for 60. we would call it a 30 foot over jump. when i say i jumped 60 foot on the freestyle jump i am in the air between 60 and 75 feet.

[jensenracing77]

lol that is so awesome. I don't see how you can jump 116ft at only ten feet though :lol:

all a mater of how the jump is set up. you can jump 116 feet and be a foot off the ground or 50 feet off the ground. i was jumping a 200S 60 feet when i was 15 years old and only getting 2 feet off the ground. that same jump i can now hit on my 400EX and it is nothing more than a speed bump. (well there is a house there now)

maybe a better way to put it. lets go with a 116 foot tabletop that you are going 10 foot in the air on. no take a dozer and knock the center out of it and you are 20 feet in the air.
