You'll be suprised at what the Foreman 450's can handle. Personally, I have only launched mine 3' or so and it was a pretty damn rough landing:shock:
Those pics look great Orange....but where are the helmets...(I cracked my skull WITH a helmet doing something sorta similar to that)
[20:55] <waterpumper> putting a racing pipe on a Foreman is like putting a high dollar bikini on a 400 pound chick...just because it fits doesn't mean it looks cool

O3 ORANGE SHEE,,Dont take this the wrong way,just my advice. Its up to you whether or not you want to wear a helmet but, It takes about 10 seconds to put one on.Takes alot longer to heal up from a crushed skull due to a 4x4 quad rolling over on your noggin. Helmets dont make it 100% safe but I sure do feel safer with one on.
Maybe I'm just old and wearing helmets isnt cool anymore??

Good air on the foreman 8) How was the landing. Those foremans are tough machines. The only thing I would be worried about would be the frame with all that weight.

I think the pics are cool, But i have to agree with Jim on this one.....i would much rather spend the extra 10 seconds than spend the next 3 months in the hospital!!

Takes less for me. I dont undo the strap on my helmet. So I just slide it on tighten it and go. When i first started riding a few months ago I did not have one. Now I do and just about always wear it. Unless im getting to warm it up. The one time I dont ride it I hit a tree. It like it knows when u dont wear them and acts up then. I also just feel better when I wear them.Originally Posted by TriZ_Jim

Great pics! I wouldn't do that too much though. Even if it is a Honda, those differentials take a pounding when you land, basically like taking a sledgeand hitting it, but hey you gotta have a little fun once in a while. Nice air
