    Seriously where are you at on collecting parts for this little stunt? I am really curious and anxious to see this done. Wish I had the courge to pull it off myself but I have my limitations these days.

    Im not collecting parts now. The few guys I know that are plannig on doing it said they wont ride a cobbled up machine that they are not used to. I dont blame them, and they prefer to try it on their own machines.

    As for progress.. About 3 of us are building, or in the planning stages of building ramps. That way we can get used to big air. Also some of the Oklahoma guys are planning and designing a foam pit to learn in. It went from just going out and trying it, to planning, and being more safe about it. Im sure it will happen, but it might just take a while. With the creation of a foam pit,.. I might just have to give it a shot now

    Sounds awesome! I need to make a trip out there sometime, I love to jump I just wish there more trikes and riders around me that like to grab air. Id love to see it done on a trike. In my opinion Id much rather try supermans lol, Id hate to see someone try the "flip" and have the trike land on them. I need to get some pics of me jumping sometime.
