Wow how old is that video?

Not a bad idea using straw as a foam pit!

thats the thing ppl try it on little jumps and just rule it out on the big ones cuz they no wats gonna happen since they r going faster lol the only jump on my property right now thats set up is a pissy little 2m (working on a bigger one now) form tip to tip it go a thick log with bricks and then dirt on top for the jump and the lander so its just a short and steep lift and a short and steep lander so wat i do is sit down untill about 1m b4 jump and just squat and wen i hit the jump i loosen the knees (jockey style) and then once in air i puch on handle bars to nosie dive into the lander. i go realy slow in second and about 1m b4 front tyre hits it i just rip it gives me time to get in position. i find it easyer to accelerat at last second than go up to the jump with a steddy speed

oh, cause I went over this little jump sitting down and My ass when up in the air and i nearly went straight over the handlebars but anyway

thats because ur shocker is to far in and not strong enough to suport ur wait when u land.
