    Whats the biggest jump you have ever hit? 40 foot gap?

    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!

    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!

    Just gotta start out slow, and work your way up, to tell the truth the 20 footer scared me more than the 30!

    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

    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.

    I have more pics on my other computer, but the wheel chair won't fit into the basement where my other computer is. I don't think they are 50 footers, but realy close.
