I went there 2 weeks ago, the scale of this jump is incredible, I wouldnt even ride the run in!

Curious how many seconds of air time this would give you 0.o

no idea, but the run in was a tower about 15-18m high and scary steep! I think if you search pure darkness or garden route trail park on instagram you can find a POV shot of someone taking the step up, lets just say its enough time to think about your choices...

Using the measurements publicly available and the average in-run speed based on frame rate of the edit, it gives you approximately... a shit ton of fucking air time.

pure darkness or pure dankness?

BIG is an understatement! Perfect shot!

Why build such a big jump they asked...

F**K YOU...THAT'S WHY!!!

Why.......the jump sizes are only just keeping up with the dramatic increase in ball size

Gravity: "who's this guy?"
Matt: "Matt Macduff bitch!"
