Nice edit, yeah for The Canadian Bacon drop, you don't need a ton of speed, start at the roller just before it, give a tap of the cranks to get rolling and coast. Glad you got up without any damage, thats a big step down, huge when you got that far. We are going back in April if you wanna meet us out there

haha yeah I figure that one out the hard way I guess but thanks for the advice. And it would be epic to go out with you guys, let me know details!

simcik (Feb 7, 2011 at 8:50)

Yes you did

Glad you are all good. We don;t have full dates or plans yet, but sometime during the last week of March/first week of April

hey tal, remember how when we were standing up there i said "one crank and youl be cherry"? I have backup now from simcik. whatever i said about "Overshoot rather than undershoot" just ignore that part

oh ya, other advice- Dont shoot it left. Like me.

Its a fun stepdown, it feels like you are in the air forever. Its weird, it feels bigger than it looks, not that it looks small...

theging (Feb 7, 2011 at 19:25)

i know... first time i hit it a year or so ago it kinda shocked me. like it looks big, but ive hit bigger, and you dont feel like your in the air for as long as you are on that one. but we went and scoped phantom when we were there. i can officially say bacon looks small

simcik (Feb 7, 2011 at 19:36)

Phantom is in the blueprint for my next trip out there

It looks perfect and absolutely doable, just dont want to screw up that speed

theging (Feb 7, 2011 at 19:57)

AH. thats exactly how i feel man! i want to hit it, but im serving an lds mission and dont wanna hurt myself before i go. When i get back, shes mine. It looks just like a big bacon to tell you the truth

simcik (Feb 7, 2011 at 20:52)

Kinda, just bigger, more precise, flat lip, and sniper landing

I wanted it last trip, just ran outta time to build it. It should go well, lookin forward to it

theging (Feb 8, 2011 at 7:42)

all you need to build it is to fix up the landing. but its a TOTAL sniper landing. we scoped it, and you have about a 9 feet space to land, and if youmiss that, your effd. It looks sooooo sick tho! im amped to check it postmish

Tal it just hit me!!! You supercan to the left and I supercan to the right...... we need to find a jump wide enough for both of us to hit and supercan at each other and touch feet........ EPICNESS lets do it bro!!!!

Top way to pop a wheel

richimpulse (Feb 7, 2011 at 8:24)

Awesome! The hang time on that step down seemed forever, lucky it was only a tacod wheel!

sooo sweet and there is nothing like diet coke to help after a crash
