The Ski Jump pictured (in the pic) has a fairly steep run-in, so you're actually getting more distance than drop off of it. It's maybe 3-5 foot of drop, and 5-7 feet between the stump and the landing tranny, but even coasting off of it, you land near the bottom of the tranny carrying A LOT of speed. There is a wooden hip jump directly above it, and a double with a 17 foot gap about 40 feet after that landing, so the drop in the pic is in the middle of both, and designed for flow.

aburles - Nice angles on the Ski Jump, and way to kill it on the Dragon Skinny! I haven't tried that one yet. I like the footage of ET towards the end, too. There is no such thing as hitting that jump too fast, although it looked like that last landing was a little nose-heavy. Great footage in any case!!
)) nice to see u, man. nice pod really!- 0 0
Is this Matata that is always sending all the big drops and making cool sequences? Haha thanks for enjoying the picture-have a great weekend.

I think Radek is saying this as I never take my wheels off the ground-its safer that way. But the construction in Black Rock is really good and that in itself adds confidence.
- Seriously, the pictures ROCK and it sure looks like you guys are havin' a blast over there! It must be really cool to hook up with friends and bikers from the past, share memories and ride together. Have fun guys!

You are right that shot you pointed out is really good, but I think that after posting the story on wearing helmets when riding, that you can expect to see a lot less PODs where a rider isn't wearing a lid. Unless a rider is climbing a safe fire road or simply posing, then I believe they should have lids on. Just my opinion.
Anyways, good pic and good riding, have fun at Otter.
