See the link in my sig. The thing that most limits your jumps on the 400EX is the size of your ...., well, you get the idea.

Most of those pics were taken with stock suspension, some were with aftermarket.

Some of the dunes jumps were in 3rd, some were in 4th. Those were pics from my 1st trip to the sand, I've improved since then -- I believe many of the dunes at Sahara are in the realm of 75' tall.

Almost all of my really big jumps are with works triple rate front shocks, stock rear shock.

A couple big ones were done with stock fronts, but that sucked, so I stopped before something broke.

I do most of my jumps in 3rd and 4th gear.

I'm not going to name names. But why do people insist on posting fake pics? I love looking at big air ATV pics as much as the next guy, but come on! I can copy any one of these pics into Microsoft Paint and simply enlarge the size to see that they are simple cut and paste jobs. You can tell when the area right around the quad is fuzzy but the background is not. Here's an example: Copy this picture into Microsoft Paint. Then select (view), pull down to(zoom), and select(large size). Now you can see what I'm taking about. This picture was taken off of Dana Creech's website. Why in the world does he post fake pics when we all know that he is capable of doing such jumps? The world will never know.

The next time your enjoying some great quad air pics. Give this technique a try. The results might be shocking.

That is the trouble with digital pictures, it is too easy to fake.

I just want to say that I guarantee every picture on my website is real and not doctored. (Except for tweeking brightness/contrast, and sharpness.) There is no cut and paste.

I understand where you are coming from Chris, I have recieved phony pictures in my email from people who want me to post them on my 'site. They were respectfully declined.

As for the Dana picture, I think it is real. The fuzz you see around the quad is also around the lightpole and trees. It is a byproduct of digital imagery and artifact from the .jpg compression. Usually caused by shrinking and or compressing the picture so it does not take so long to download. I don't think his mom has the time to screw around with making fake pictures anyway.

I hear everything your saying Phil. I don't mean to point the finger at any one person. I just want to inform everyone about the garbage floating around.

Jumping is fun. But it takes several skills to become a well-rounded rider/racer.
