40 foot gap on a Trike? Easy as pie!

[Kintore]

Well, I finally did it. A 40 foot gap on my Z. Talk about scaring the crap right outa ya when your first doing it. No problems whatso ever:w00t:

My dad was doing the filming and had my hospital card on him:lol: jk
I think ill show ya up billy!
Well heres the video, pretty self explanatory. 20 and 30 foot tables, then the 40. Now for the TF MX to get some bigger and better air.

Whos says trikes dont own? :TrikesOwn


And FYI- if you see a kid on a 400ex in the background, he couldnt clear one of them and hes been riding for awhile!:TrikesOwn

HUH! nothing to it! nice jump man.

[350Xhilaration]

Lookin good Josh.

Problem with the track at TF is maintaining speed in the turns to have enough speed to hit the jumps without casing.

Keep practicing. I sure know I could use some. I'm gonna get passed by TimJr this year.:(

heres our new 45 footer I havent hit it yet but plan on soon as the ankel feels a little better!

Cool video Kintore. But I did see in the video the steering stem nut is missing on the 3wheeler your dad was on. Running without this nut can cause your forks to break while riding. I have seen this happen before and the kid did get hurt. Just wanted to point it out because I don't like my friends getting hurt. ;)

Last year at TF I was scared jumps, this year ill eat em for breakfest, lunch and dinner :)

Any more thoughts?

Howdy, thanks for catching that, you have a PM, maybe you could ship me one, or ill pick one up at TF. I drive that thing ALOT lol

[MyMistress86R]

Awesome jumps there Josh...looks like I might as well consign myself to dead last in the 2-troke novice mx class this year at TF...lol.

Lol ill race with ya after I lap ya! Just kidding todd lol

Thanks for the comments, Im going to go back and take pics of the track and the 40 and perfectly measure it out. I think its a tad shy of the 40 to be honest. Then Ill come back and host em!:w00t:


Lookin good Josh.

Yah I know, only one cure for that, FASTER!:Bounce

Any more comments?:Bounce

The more I think about it, I think its like a 35 or less gap. I think the owner is thinking about where he takes of to where he lands, not jump to jump. Im going back there to measure it out.

[Billy Golightly]

Looking good! As soon as I get some IMS pegs for my Z I'm gonna be back to hitting my big table top.

[Kintore]

Ok UPDATE!

The gap is 30 feet, the take off to landing is 48 feet. So I guess its not a "gap" but 48 feet is 48 feet. Still alot IMO.
Here are some pics-

First 3 pics are of the gap, next is the 30 foot, then the 20 footer. Then a general pic of the whole track.:w00t:

[Kintore]

Last pic of the track- Not bad, 48 feet :w00t:

Pic- 30 footer and a double

[Kintore]

Give you a idea, yes I know its a hackjob, but 48 feet!

Nice jump there. Made it seem like a 10 foot gap instead of bigger. Whats with this 2 stroke novice stuff? I think you just signed yourself up for advance!

2 stroke advanced! lol running with D, Tim, B and fylin bryan lol. Not sure. Im going to be there on tuesday morning. Ill see, but I think ill take novice this year, I still owe tyler a race, right bud?:w00t: You racing to xcellent?

Bring it on!!!!!!:Bounce

[200xcellent]

Dont have a trike to race, but I still think you should race advanced. Never know, might have a big pile up in the first corner and you win. If you jump everything that the fastest guys jump, how bad could you lose?
