    oh yeah

    heres a shot of digity x airing out his t3. might not look like alot of air but it is about a good 6 or 7 feet if you measure on the landing side. supposed to be a small table top, but with high strung bikes like the t3's we can clear the down side of the table top with out even trying. and as soon as you land you need to bang it to the left real quick, or ouch. like i said nothing special, but it does the job.

    That pic posted is the biggest I've seen with a trike. The guy has talent/guts.

    I've seen vid on here of a 350X hitting a steel kicker ramp and landing it no problem.

    Yep, not quite as crazy as I used to be in my younger years, but with mouths to feed and a mortgage to pay I can't risk what I used to. All 3 pics below are from back in the day when those things didn't matter. No real big air, but somewhat respectable for the 80's on a 3 wheeler with vintage JT riding gear to boot.

    i'm sure derrick has some other pics as well,this is only the best few.boy i love jumpin my trike.the elka,and front progressive springs,and valving makes for a nice landing.

    the metal ramp i hit yesterday was sweet.we had about a 35' gap to land,but were overshooting it by 5-6 feet.lots of air,and lots of fun!!!

    i forgot,the biggest stuff i have hit is at our local track.it's a 60-65' table top.middle of 5th gear to clear it.also a huge up hill over there.that table top,and nates 55' are my longest jumps

    I jump my 250r air cooler all day at a farm over a 25ft table top gettin about 5-6 feet of air. We are planning on making it bigger though. I over shoot it sometimes and can even tall. Its so smooth
