video of successful jump on uphil triple at NCMP

[quad2xtreme]

This is David Martin hitting the big uphill triple at NCMP. For those who have been to NCMP, you know this is a big jump for a quad...partially because the jump before slows you down so it is difficult to get the speed you need. To date, I know 3 quad riders who have made it...1 says he won't do it again, 1 took an ambulance ride, and I will post David's nasty wreck soon.

It is pretty much a practice track except for about 3 races a year. Many of the pros come in the winter time and the week before the Birch Creek race.

BTW, David made it through this pretty well all things considered. He got knocked out for a couple minutes, tweaked his rotator cuff, maybe a crack in his collarbone, and scrapes and bruises. He's made this jump before but successfully completing it in the past seems to be no guarantee of future success.

Jeremy is correct...Harrison Boyd is the 1st to attempt it and he made it. He later tried it during the pre-race practice sessions and left in an ambulance. There are two others who tried but never made it...also took ambulance rides.


I would say about 20 dirt bike riders make this as a quad jump...meaning that they hit the lander on the tabletop. I've even seen a kid on a CF85 land it as a quad jump.

the dirtbikers make it look alot easier haha ncmp is probably one of the best track in north carolina

I will start another thread tomorrow with more footage on various jumps at the track. The tracks were a bit rougher than usual today and dustier. The owner was away for the weekend.

Actually, I have some footage of a race of mine from back in January...

[BlaineKaiser450]

that looks like an amazingly fun track!

[quad2xtreme]

definitely cracked his collarbone 85% of the way through...they are doing x-rays of his hip right now. :(

[motofreak2772]

only 3 people have tried that?
It looks big but I think more people can do it than that, I think someone can quad that thing lol.

[motofreak2772]

oh damn nevermind lol. I just watched the third video and looking at the jump from that angle you can see how big it really is lol. Thats a good sized jump but I still think someone can quad it.

No disrespect to the pros but I know Wimmer, Natalie, and a few other guys have decided not to try it. It isn't that it is the largest jump in the world by any means. The thing is you have to go over the previous jump slow enough that you don't overshoot it. Then, you have to have the motor to really pick up enough speed to hit it. The only way I will ever attempt it is if a 200 lb guy gets on my quad and I watch him do it. I definitely don't think my quad will make it.

lol nice vids jon! david called me last night as soon as he found out it was broke, i was in bed cuz my new job I get up at 3:30 every morning, so bed at 8 is common lol. But I talked to him again today, hes feeling alright, still sore, but wont require surgery or anything. He said u also had some video of him knocked out too? hahah. Im glad hes alright though, his mom is the one who told me originially, then i talked to him and yup, its broke. He went to a sports medicine doctor today cuz the doc. told him it owuld be 6-8 weeks, so hes gonna get a diff opinion. We are leaving for the beach on sunday for a week, and hes been planning on going with us, he said hes still comming, but hes gonna have to take it easy this year, unlike last year... HAHAHAH

But about the size of the jump, yes its really big, it may not look it, but the face on the step up isn't huge, so you have to hit it really fast to get over it, its not worth it though... =/

[jherbie28]

people can say what they want about a jump like that untill they are looking at the take off:devil: jon 2 weeks man i cant wait to get down there with ya. breezewood then ncmp awsome:D

His getting hurt is impacting 2 trips. Your trip to the beach and he was supposed to go along with me for the trip to BPG over the 4th. He was supposed to invite you too if you got your quad back together in time. I would say I will be heading there by myself but I completely snapped my frame again in 2 places. Guess it is time to lose some weight. Not sure I have enough time to get it fixed. I have a guy coming over tonight to look at it. I might have to take Connie's 2008. :D

I talked to David today to see how he was doing. He seemed in good spirits so I assume he was on some pain meds. :p

hahah yeah very true! He told me he was going to go with you a few weeks ago, and I told him I would go too if I had everything together and if I could get off work, but thats horrible jon! Hopefully you can steal connies 450 and ride that till you get hers fixed, tell her I said to share ;) hahahah! But oh yeah, he deff is on some pain meds. He called my sis last night and was like "Im really messed up right now, so I wont talk long" then hung up the phone, hahah! But he ordered a new stem, bumper, and upper aarm, hes ready to go! lol Hopefully I'll see you soon man!

You need to watch the slo-mo video again Jordan. David seat bounced it too....albeit on the landing. :p :p :p

[LTRracer4]

I totally understand what you guys are saying by having to see it in person and ride over it and what not, but in neither video did the guy scrub the jump before it, and in the second video he over jumped the first jump. I feel like if you could scrub the first jump good and land right at the top of the decent then you could prolly make it over pretty consistent. Also if the track was prepped definatley get better traction and better odds. Im sure its tough, but I would look at it twice.

[06LTRfofiddy]

yea i was actually noticing i did overshoot the table just a tad in the wreck one
