Due to JRP's post, I was searching for some info on Colten and found this crazy Mcgrath/Henry battle from way back in the day.

I couldn't believe Henry would do this:eek2:

He hit a bump at the top and accidentily pinned it(thats what I've read)....don't think anyone in there right mind would try that on purpose....

I don't know....it looks like he hammers on it pretty early and really picks up speed. I don't think a bump would make him accelerate that long. Who knows though.

I bet when he was in the air it was like when you have a dream that you're falling and then you land and just wake up....except when he landed, he didn't quite have quite the same experience.:eek2:

Word, Henry Hill at Budds Creek. He got arm pump really bad and couldn't hold on anymore, hit a braking bump and goosed it. Best thing he could have done was to stay with the bike.

that's insane. i heard that his throttle stuck. to me that's the only suitable explanation. how can a breaking bump kick you 60 feet high? anyway, that's nuts

I wonder when his throttle stuck if that was the case. I don't know if I would have the mind to lay it down before takeoff or not.....and I hope I never have to find out.
