Well, I went to a party last night and met my old buddy. Turns out he has a 400ex and owns a 2 acre track with doubles, singles, tables, berms and a 40 foot gap over his creek.
Im worried to hit this 40 footer, for obvious reasons lol. If I overshoot its alot better than too undercut it. If I undercut it im done for. But overshooting can be just as deadly and I dont want to pull a Bryan lol no offence! I got the proper gear and so on.
He says he hits it 4th gear quarter throttle, so im thinking 4th at like 75+ percent throttle.
Ive been jumping for awhile, but Ive really never gotten huge air time like this before.

Im worried about messing my Z over, if I screwed it up.
Questions-
Whats the biggest jump you have ever hit?

What was the biggest jump the pro racers hit?

Can a Z with a stock warrior rear shock, and progressives up front handle this kinda jump?

Now I just gotta grow some titanium balls lol


Thanks 3WW!:w00t:

Yes I want to see em Ronnie!
Well some news, went and saw the jump. Its seems pretty easy to do the 40.
I was nailing his 30 foot and 20 foot table with no problems. Video time!
:w00t:
Just gotta start out slow, and work your way up, to tell the truth the 20 footer scared me more than the 30!:lol:

Well it was about a 25-30ft double that I overshot by about 10ft and stuck the nose of a DS650 right into the ground :lol:

I've hit 50 footers on my atc250r and made them(they were talbletops). I'm sure I can do a bigger jump, but I don't have the balls to do so, so as dobles too, for some reason I have problems doing them. I have a freind of mine that when we were in hardrock mx in Ocala florida, he hit a 100 ft tabletop and DID IT. I did a 60 foot tabletop on my 4 wheeler, too.

LOL You need to watch the Huevos 5 video where the guy gets jumping on a beat 350X. Poor trike, looked nice. Plus the Huevos vids are awsome anyhow.

I've done a 30 foot table on the Tecate and lived to tell the tale.

Send them pictures this way Ronnie, I got your package this afternoon too. I'll give ya a call either this evening or tomorrow about it.


Haha, well, at the time I was on the DS is after I had cold seized my Z (Which I have rode all day today without any problems and i haven't done a damn thing. talk about weird) Its my moms, although she never rides it. A tank with wheels is about the best way to describe that thing haha. 12inchs of suspension travel is nice though.


I've been pushing up some dirt here at home with a bulldozer my dad and I have been working on (Hopefully it'll be making the real track soon when we finally get an approval to do it) but anyways I pushed up about a 30ft table top with a kicker. I hit it probably 3/4 throttle or so in first gear and get 4-5ft of air all the way across it. The landing ramp is to short on it now, I'm gonna make that a little longer and I'm gonna stretch it out to about a 40ft'er :D

theres a table top at the local track here,they say it's 90',but i think it's more like 60.i came with in a couple feet of clearing it last year,on the trike.use to clear it all the time on a bike.

i hit it mid throttle 5th gear.just grazed the lip of the landing.i was tryin to reel in the rest of the pack,after someone flipped me on the holeshot.once i got the bike started back up,i dumped the clutch,blaahhh,i was still in 4th gear.by the time i got her fired back up,i was half a lap down.i was so angry,and determined.i passed 6 out of 8 of the trikes on the track in 4 laps.would have caught my uncle derrick too,but i was tired.

well enough ramblin,i say a 60 table to is my biggest jump.............so far!!!

Dammit!

60 paces is my farthest distance (don't know how many feet that is but it's obviously more than 60). It wasn't a gap though. Almost like a step-up. The ramp was between 5 and 6 feet high from the approach but only a foot or two higher than the landing area. 5th gear completely wide open... on a 200x. :p

Sounds more impressive than it is. We would only get 4-5 feet off the ground. It was just the speed that made you go that far. Never had the chance to hit it on my R unfortunately.
