Ok, this was taken today by Max. It is ME jumping a 20"+ log. This thread is kinda like the Dukes Of Hazard show where they freeze frame the big jump and ask "Are the Duke boys gonna make it?" and then cut to a commercial. :lol:

I put a safe but ugly landing for 2 reasons. You were headed down in a nose dive, depending on how far it was it could be pretty ugly, I will say it defiantly wont be a picture perfect landing. And your right rear tire was still on the log, which could screw you over if it is still on if the the left rear is already on the ground.

looks like the tree might catch you too if you gased it on the log.

Well I'm not doubting your riding abilities, everyone has bad days. Its just your weight looks to be heading foward and your feet are off the pegs. Plus your rear wheels have yet to hit the log again and give your ass another kick. lol look foward to seeing how you do.

Well, your feet are in the air and your rear tires look like they are going to hit the log on the way down. I'm guessing it will be a bobbled landing but you will hold on fine.

I am enjoying all the replies..... Very cool to hear everyones thoughts on it. Like how Max is givin me all the encouragement? You go BOY! LMAO!

BTW, that log was the 2nd one I looked at. The first one was about 1 foot larger! We figured I should start smaller. Glad I did.

Keep em coming!

I say you roll forward over the bars and stare at the bumper... I havent read anything between the first post and the bottom so i dunno what happens.

You look like you really have some momentum comin up off the seat. I say you either go over the bars or you bail.

Now I'll scroll down and see....

Sorry bro...gotta call it like I see it and you look like you gonna crash!!!

Looks good but you need to preload the front suspension just a little more before you hop... Use the springs to your advantage.

Man.... I need to invest in a newer camera with video capabilities!

The ":banned: and nameless" had to jump this tree 8 times with my Showgirl so I could get a sequence of pictures for a riding tech tip. Unfortunately, he got :banned: before we typed up anything....
