A very average shot of me doing an average jump. I had some better stuff in a video but the file type isn't copatible with my PC for some reason... D:

If you look at the size of the wheel - that's 26" which is 2ft 2 inches. So it must be like 3.5 ft.

But this is a long time ago. This was big to me then.

That jump was way to small for the left set, i remember being able to start from the 3rd jump landing,and landing clean haha

tom666 (Mar 7, 2012 at 8:11)

It was really easy to clear. Which is why I liked it

kwaldron1995 (Mar 7, 2012 at 10:27)

you have a fair point there tom

tom666 (Mar 7, 2012 at 14:35)

It's so gay it got plowed...

kwaldron1995 (Mar 7, 2012 at 23:26)

I know, bloody sucks. we could have built so much there this winter it would have been amazing. Still, theres a lot of new spots going around now

Yeah, Milford was great though because it was so close to the train station...

is that lip really short or is it just me?

tom666 (Apr 25, 2011 at 14:47)

Just you bruva'. Jumps always seem to warp in pictures. You can't see but the landing is really long and goes well under the ground level too.

brett236 (Apr 25, 2011 at 14:48)

true

how tall is the lip though?

tom666 (Apr 25, 2011 at 14:50)

waist height on me and I'm like 6ft. You hit it with speed though and it's well shaped.

brett236 (Apr 25, 2011 at 16:02)

ok so it is short, thats like 3 feet tall

yer brett u got that right

tom666 (Apr 26, 2011 at 14:51)

3.5 feet roughly. Doesn't matter too much how high the take off is. You get plenty of air time and land in the right place. Harry Hemmings, who was riding with you at rogate was more scared of this jump than he was the big doubles at rogate Will.

brett236 (Apr 26, 2011 at 15:06)

those must be some tiny doubles. Trust me that lip is 3 feet max. im 6 ft 3 and my waist is almost exactly 3 ft. the gap size on that is like 10 ft so its not a big jump. you should make the lip another 3 ft taller and move the lander out to around 12-15 feet

tom666 (Apr 26, 2011 at 15:12)

The idea isn't that it's massive. It's the 3rd jump in a line of 4. It flows well and gives good air time. It's fine as it is for me.

nouser (Apr 27, 2011 at 7:55)

fair enough

simonpandhisbike (Mar 6, 2012 at 7:52)

that lip was like 2 foot...

I sees a dust cloud, just imagining the sound, swooosh
