today me and my friends were jumpin our bicycles and my friends got one of those cheap x-games ramps from wal mart and we were doubling 2 of those. i could jump the farthest out of everyone, and i kept going farther and farther finally we had the 2 ramps up too 15 ft! so i was gonna go for 16ft and i was like, if i clear this one im done for the day...so i went as fast as i could, cleared the jump good but a little sideways and next thing i knew i was sliding across the pavement:( , man i hate road burn!

but anyways, i was just wondering about how far has anyone jumped there bike. i know 15ft may not be far but remeber its with a ramp about 1-2ft tall!

a few years ago when i was into bikes and that we built a nice ramp (kinda like jons ramp, but a smaller scale:blah: ) and we were going like 21-22 ft. I dont even own a bike n e more tho

we put the jump on the sidewalk and angled it towards the grass and landed on flat, i had some $100 mountain bike from target or somthing. im talking jumping distance wise, not height... just incase we were getting mixed up here

Why didnt you just ask me to post them for you?

Here are some pics of MXJunkie69 playing on some dirtpiles he has near his house... I think the real skill here was me taking the pics with a digital camera that delayed about 5 seconds before the pic is taken.:mad:
