spring break pics (full size ramp)

[Rootar]

well had lots of issues over spring break so ill put a caption on each picture telling more


starting off the first day we woke up and it had freaking SNOWED in FREAKING TEXAS and it was COLD and WINDY

[hrc]

Wish I had the balls to a jump like that. Any action shots?

[Rootar]

well later in the day we pushed it up and i hit it but was way to windy and cold so onto the next day

day #2
pulled it back to 30 feet first thing and it was still cold but not as windy

[Rootar]

well the wind picked up in the after noon after we had went trail riding and playing so that afternoon i let it stay at 30

me looking down at my girl friend Kayli sitting on the haybale

[Rootar]

well local guy showed up and we moved it back to 40 and i took this pick of him and for some reason nobody took any pics of me:grr: but oh well i prolly didnt wanna see it i over shot this gap (44 feet to top) and i landed 62 from the ramp which REALLY hurt becasue i still have a stock rear spring (my zps and new rear spring havent come in yet) so after that little reminder and a sore knee i was done for the day


here is the local guy man did it feel awesome going this high till i landed

[Rootar]

well my gf has the rest of the pics so when i get them from her ill post more of the 30 feet gap

on saturday i was sore but i went and rode the 30 some more and then entered the crosscountry race it was 6 miles and for time about 3/4th the way through i hit a tree coming out of a sharp corner in 3rd gear pinned and well thank goodness for pappy gusseting my frame and the prm bumper for taking most of the hit. it through me over teh bars and into the tree:( i jumped up and checked my front end over pushed it away from the tree after getting it into neutral then going on to set the second fastest time of teh day:huh and there was some pretty fast guys there on built yfzs raptors and Rs and a new LTR so my dad was pretty impressed and i was astonished and yet confused:confused:

that pretty much ended the day and trip other than some putting around the fun trails wiht my gf on back

[Pappy]

looks like the bumper did its job, and im glad to hear you are ok.

let me know, ill hook you up with a new bumper at cost seeing you destroyed that one:p

[Rootar]

grade 8 ss bolts we just got sheared off like tooth picks i need i new bumper any suggestions?

[Rootar]

Ken I'm Glad to show you the frame damage which was minimal and would have been none except they dont make strong enough bolts but here is teh frame damage a small dent in the frame tube and a little scuff

btw you need to send me some stickers with this next order some like a logo and number becasue i was spreading the wording on your pc'ing and gusseting down there but i didnt have your number so i told themto join the site

[Pappy]

that sucks dude, battle scars give you character tho:p

ive seen them wrecked on the first ride and broken frames , and broken riders:ermm:

i appreciate the advertising, telling them to join the site is more then enough and i thank you.

[Rootar]

hey you need the business how else are you gonna fund cody's new MX hybrid lmao :o

here is an example of how hard teh wind was blowing (its a pic i took off teh video camera screen)

[Rootar]

me sitting with kayli while i took a break im jsut getting the ones from her so they'll be up shortly

she was all bundled up looking like a dork becasue it was so cold

[Rootar]

me gripping tha tank hard with my knees this was a LONG no hander i let go suicide style as i was still going up scared teh crap outta my mom here is me about to land

[Rootar]

i didnt get to do many tricks heel clickers, nac nacs,super mans, i ate dirt trying to extend a stripper, dang guys with teh orange ramp had me wanting to do them lol, we'll deifenetly be going back more often since its not a bad drive and my whole family all had a blast.

better pick of the wind issue, maybe running full skids didnt help me much with the wind

[Rootar]

if you still dont believe me that it was windy lol ok im done with the windy complaints

[Rootar]

[Rootar]

they could really gett the timing on whento take pics of tricks but hey im not complaining it was great even having some one there

[Rootar]

[Bighead1]

Nice pics man, I've always wanted to hit a jump like that but noone around here has one. What gear were you hittin the 30 gap, then the 44?

[Rootar]

3/4 in 2nd gear for 30 and i hit the 44 in 3rd lil over half but i went way to far

[Bighead1]

Man that looked fun as crap. When I get rich(lol) I'll get me one of those ramps.

[flyin#5]

and quit complaining about the cold... make you look like a bunch of sissys. what was it, 40 degrees? at 35 we roll down the windows and turn on the AC. haha...:rolleyes:

[Rip_Tear]

awsome pics! Hope you don't find any more damage. I can't believe you're gald there was no pics of your wreck! When I wrecked I was like you have been gotten that on film, and they did, so I was happy! My mom on the other hand still doesn't want to see the footage...

Keep busting out like that! Can't wait too see the pics from next time!
