Default catching air on my raptor

Thanks again for the replies. HighFive, I try to let my actions speak for me, rather than running my mouth. I have noticed that talking too much gets people into trouble. And I don't plan on hydroplaning anything that will drown my quad if I don't make it. I have a pair of paddles but they are v'd and I don't think they work right for hydroplaning. We are currently working on our winter video and I will post parts when we get it done. It is going to be long.

warrior86, start by getting the no-footer down. It doesn't even have to be a big jump. It is just like every other trick, once you do it, there is nothing to it(sorry about the rhyme). I usually stay somewhat in the air and lean back and bring my feet up. You don't even have to push off the pegs, it is mostly in the arms. Just keep practicing and eventually you will be able to do a heel-clicker over a five foot jump. Hope this helps.

Jaybird, i noticed another post by you in the where to ride section. You live in Mantua and have some decent riding places? I live in Mayfield, about 40 mins North of you, and am looking for some people to ride with. Im 17. If you wanna ride sometime let me know. Not too many good places up here, seeing as i livein the city (Burbs of Cleveland).

btwrestle04, that would be fine with me. we are always looking for more riders. The best time for you to probably come down would be when there was a holiday so we would have more time to ride. but it doesn't matter to me. let me know which saturday you are available and I will see if we will be riding that weekend. thekod, that is what I like to hear. another person wanting to ride after seeing the video. that means that it is a success.

At a loss for words? I just picked up another suzuki 185!!! It needs a new a-arm but I will hopefully have one soon. My cousins and I are trying to get as many mini quads as we can so we can race them and do some more stupid/fun things with them. I got some footage from my cousin's graduation party, but it is mostly us messing around with powerwheels and sleds. I will try to get my lazy a$$ to capture it and post it.

Sorry about that jaybird04, It was just in a few posts down PaRaptor was asking where there was some good quad videos (home videos). So i told him that you had some really good ones with good music and all, and i told him that i would bump this thread back up so he could see them. So instead of saying anything i just put ( . ) to bring your movies back up.
