juggalo,

That sure looks nice. Almost as nice as a bright yellow 750EX.

If I did that at my age the hallow I think I am wearing would turn real and I would end up much higher in the sky than you. Just not ready to be that high, just yet.

Boy you are catching some air.....

Look like pretty soon you are gonna need some wings on your side. LOL

Look like your hand made ramp is holding up pretty good so far....

Sweet pics man, it's cool to see some quads freestyling. Thats pretty rare, espcially on a ramp. I've been learing a couple tricks on my dirt double, but I ended up missing the peg and tasting the dirt. Little tip, don't do tricks without nerfs, a broken ankle could result. I know from experience.

WoW, what a great idea! All you have to do, once you get the nuts up to hit it, is keep backing it off the landing. Because it is solid, it will never change, no ruts, no lump at the top. AWESOME!

The only thing I would worry about is it looks just a little bit skimpy. A quad is pretty heavy, I hope you are keeping a close eye on the joints.

The airs look great. The Cordova is MINT! I am jealous.

My neighbor dozed his track. A biker crashed on a double and broke his back and neck, so that put an end to the big track... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

thanks guys. edsmith, i know what you mean i came close to snapping mine a while ago before i got my pro pegs, i did a heelclicker off a jump and missed the peg and the rear tire sucked my leg under.
pismoguy, yeah i have some works shocks. i thought i used to jump pretty big when i had my stock suspension (if you want to see go to the folder called caseys place), but thats nothing compared to this jump, i couldn't even imagine how rough of a landing it would be without aftermarkets. i even bottom out the works once in a while on this jump.
philemore yep its handy cuz you can adjust the gap with minimal effort. it does look a little flimsey but its actually pretty strong but your right it needs some more supports. i figured out a way to fix everything and we'll be doing that any day now. i'm sorry to hear about your track. i hope you can find a new one to ride at real soon [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

You guys are nuts. I wana try it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]. Question though, how do you get your feet back down on the pegs when there's really nothing to push off from?

just bring em back down. thats about the only way i can explain it. you have to do it in time tho cuz if your quad starts droppin down you start floating and you can't get em back down. thats what happened the first time i tried a superman and i ended up doin a handstand on the bars and when the quad landed i was still in that position and i smashed my chin and neck against my cross bar pad. dana creech told me that most of the pros that do supermans have a scar on their chin from the same things happening to them.

SWEET! Way too cool! The funny thing is that most people, ones that don't ride, don't know how hard that is. My hats off to you guys! As good as I got in the past, 1980's, was a table top & whip! People just weren't doing stuff like that back then. Tried to surf the seat of my '94 KX250 & ended up doing a hand stand on the ground. Fell about 20 feet & broke both wrist. Had cast on each for three months. Don't jump much higher than about 12 feet now. Getting older & heavier. Still love to motocross!
