Thanks man, the landing is great. It has a nice slope and is very smooth. You just have to make sure you make it to the landing. Otherwise well its a steep steep double and it isn't very forgiving.

I hit it in 3rd gear pinned, and I am not even close to a pro. I am actually a B rider. I just love jumping.

They don't have a website that I know of. The lost there federal grants a couple years back and only have like 2 races a year. They have like 300 ares or so and the motocross track. Rumor has it they got 2 new grants this year and are going to start back building up this fall and have things rolling for next year.

Actually 400ex I never get nervous on any jumps first time or not. If I don't make it the first time it just drives me to do it again. Also if I don't make it I have to do it again just to prove to myself that I can do it.

20 feet in the air? No, it looks like 12-15feet maybe. You can see the ground in the pic so you can tell how far up you are. Either way its pretty sick.

The name is Brushy Ridge and its outside of Astoria IL. I will have to try and find some older info on the track and get the adress from there. I will post more info as I find it.
