do you jump your trike? how big

[kxt250r]

i want to hear from those that like to get their 3wheelers airbourne..
what do you ride? how big do you go?? :pics:

[TtownJoeShow]

i'd say i jumped the 85 R more than my 300R....think the highest is around 5 or 6 X 6-7ft and the longest is about 12 or 15 X 3-4ft

[Erics350x]

15ft high 30ft long without a landing ramp.
with a landing ramp the sky is the limit.

[82'185s]

I jump my 82 185s about 1-2 feet in the air anymore than that and im in a lot of pain lol.....to bouncy

[scooterroo]

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.

Deathman is One of the most nuts air travelers ive seen. There is some pics in his old posts getting it. Some of the OTC. Post up!!!!

[200xcellent]

I got a phone call yesterday from a fellow triker who hit a steel ramp. Ya boi!

[BigGreenMachine]

That pic Dammit 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.

[Mr. Sandman]

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.

[3leggeddog]

man,i got so many pics of us jumping.i'll post a few.heres a link to a thread that shows a few otc guys gettin air.it was really muddy this day,but we still aired em out.i'm in the last set,and one of me on the 350x over a small double.i really like twistin the bike around in the air,it feels cool,and is alot of fun.i got er straightend back out before landing.heres a few others aswell.

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

that is a local guy that lives near the Breezewood proving grounds. they had a bunch of pictures on there site. they said he used to race dirt bikes and wanted to try a 3wheeler for something different.

[dirt bike dan]

used to race motocross on a 3wheeler fairly recently against quads, but my buddy coop easily takes the cake jumpin a 110 so high he snapped it right in two, we used tie downs to put it back togeter and kept riding!!

[2strokeBandit]

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

[deathman53]

I love to jump mine, give me most jumps(except doubles) and I'll do them. You guys might be seeing me at breezewood soon and hopefully with the trike. No more memberships for rausch creek anymore and $65, NO WAY am I going there.

[atctim]

Here are a few of me on my Big Red X . Not too many people out there catching air on Big Reds I guess................... I can tell you this - for a big guy (250 pounds) that Big Red has a strong frame!

[petesatc]

i can do about 20ft off this jump if i run enough speed.......

[hazard]

my worst problem is finding the right position for my body , my 350x tends to nose dive or wheelie in the air, i dont do many jumps so i have a hard time doing it.

If you don't stay in the throttle as you go over the lip you will nose dive, Holding the throttle steady where its holding the speed you are going, unless its a real short ramp will keep you nice and steady. For short ramps I tend to blip the gas as I go over to stop the back bucking up.

Couple of jumps

Suspension is for sissies.

[350Xhilaration]

I've jumped my 350X quite a few times. Broke the frame in the usual spot. Stock suspension on a 350X is pretty bad for jumping, great in the woods, but they don't fly well.

OK OK, whos gonna throw money in a hat to buy TimSr a Tri-Z headlight setup????

I've had these pics on my computer a while, they are not of me by the way. I think maybe I got them on this site but I don't remember. Anyone recognize these?

Pretty sure those are deathman53.

[BigGreenMachine]

Yeah Raffa a black one on there would look nice.

[Tecate250]

Now that I have a usable shock I too have been jumping my 3 wheeler. never jumped a quad as much as the T3 and never jumped a dirt bike. I have cleared 10-15 feet long and 3-4 feet high. At my old Junior high school which is local, they replaced there sewer vent or well top with a raised hill about 10 feet round and 3 feet high. I was showing off to some kids there last week.

Keep them in the air boys.

[deathman53]

those picture are of me. By the end of the day I was clearing that tabletop, lots of cameras and video cameras were on me for that one. There was doubles and other jumps I was doing there also. I am going there on sunday. I have been clearing most of the stuff at rausch creek also. I hope to be going to breezewwod soon.

Breezewood is the place I want to go to this summer with my CR125...I'm not sure if the 200x will do very well on the jumps there but my bike will. Never done any big jumps before though so we'll see how that goes...
