I was wondering what the highest people have been up in the air with there 500 cats. I got some air this weekend, but it sure feels like I could have did better.
Thanks

10240 feet. The air up there is really good, you can almost taste it.

I have done a 3 foot high jump and about 8 feet in distance. Just once was enough for me. The CAT lands too heavy and I was afraid of breaking something. Just because it's paid for doesn't mean I have to break it.

I try to jump but I have had one bad accident when I was in the 3rd grade and don't care to repeat it. Now I just do some small jumps and crests.I am also of the philosophy that I break it I buy it. Go check out my home page it has some good air pictures my brother-in-law took of himself and the rest of my riding crew. The best one is http://lonestar.texas.net/~eeyore/st...jump%20cat.jpg He is really athletic and jumping is easy for him. There are some other pictures and some videos worth checking out.

LOL!! That's like asking how heavy a trailer can be pulled by a 400EX. I think you bought the wrong machine.

I got a picture or 2 of me getting some pretty good air. I've gotten my wheels about 6 ft off the ground so far, my latest jump ended with me landing on the front end and flipping it on the lid. So,I guess I'm gonna have to stop jumping my cat, with the claws on it that is.

i do some light jumping, nothing too high. maybe a few feet, always where i know what i'm landing on.
i let my buddy ride it when i was busy, and i wasn't paying attention. well this dumb a$$ thought it was his old banshee. i heard this gut wretching noise and ran over to where he was. the front tire markes where 18' from the snow pile and there he was on the front bumper, face about 2" from the ground. somehow it tilted backward and landed on all 4. was he scared.......bent both tierods and the brush guard. he got away without much injury, mostly his nuts and legs. if i had it on me he would have sustained a .357 hole in his head.lol.
he figured he got about 7 feet of air. he had no clue how front heavy this beast is. i had no clue how stupid he is. needless to say i'm never letting him ride it again.

I do 50% trail riding and 50% work, Im not out jumping my Cat all the time. I just saw a cool man made jump in a sandpit last weekend and thought I would give it a try, thats all. Is this thing a truck or what. I pulled some big a** trees up at are cabin, low range it pulled alot more then what i thought it could.
Thanks
