that would be a huge bunny hop my friend.... :-)

If you look just above the rear axle of the floval, you see a line that cuts through the trail. There's a 3.5 ft lip there. There's a fire road that takes a sharp turn to the left as you come up to the jump. We found a queen mattress down there once and were getting 12 ft out onto it. once the mattress was ruined, we had to dial it back to what our ankles could handle ;-)

I bet you wish you had the Floval Flyer now.

For sure... that was the first floval flyer in SD. I had it on order as soon as I knew it was coming out. I only got rid of it because I was having a hard time keeping the wheels straight. Those landings without transitions were hard on cruiser wheels. Back then, we had no concept of building a landing ramp... we just focused on building jumps since a landing ramp would double the build time. :-) my buddy who bought it, stripped off the paint and had the whole thing polished chrome, it was pretty tricked out.
