    Wow . . .

    I had a trx 450r that I would jump on a buddy's MX track, I've also jumped my 250r. I always felt more comfortable jumping the 250r oddly enough but not that comfortable, lol.

    He didn't even use the landing ramp . . .

    The suspension was dialed in, didn't need to.

    Haha, it actually is a pretty smooth/calm landing considering the height and length of the jump

    That would've been a better thread tittle.




    Apparently, the rider understands how the take off ramp works, but not the landing ramp.

    Absolutely fascinating how landing the the balloon tire ATC on flat ground didn't launch him into next week, but the Harley did.

    I guess hardtail rider haven't been riding their hardtails, hard enough.

    These videos really have a Crusty vibe to them. Man, I miss the Crusty VHS days.

    Exactly, when I saw him overshoot the landing ramp I figured the landing was going to be rough (to put it gently), and was shocked at how smooth it was, lol.

    Well, it was smooth because he did land on the landing ramp, just not the very beginning of it. You can hear and see the ramp shake when he lands on it.

    Tongue-in-cheek



    There's no shortage of videos with riders doing epic jumps on ATC250Rs.

    Gotcha. When DirtWheels crowned the 250R, "King of Suspension", I guess it made people want to test their limits.

    You can see that he doesent completely miss the landing ramp. He catches it about halfway down.

    My dreams are squashed.


    I thought a hardtail was finally proven the ultimate jump machine.
