St. Joes and a Large Ramp

tigmaster · 11-04-2007, 06:21 PM

here are some pics from the last ride of my rmz250. we built us a nice sand ramp out of a bowl turn. it was violently steep but the pictures dont show it. we spent a lot of time making it and took everyone down on tricking. me and jim had at least 20 people parked on quads and bikes watching us trick. the tricks mostly consisted of no footers and no handers, whips. jim threw down a couple of nothings and a no handed lander. some things are easier for him on a quad like landing no handed. we measured some stuff and determined that the bottoms of our bikes were 10ft in the air leaving out heads at 14ft. doesnt sound like much but any more and we would have broken our bikes in half. we decided not to build a landing ramp and count on the super soft sand to take us. watch the videos though and you can see where my feet were on the pegs and my feet were digging down into the sand and jims nerf bars were under the sand too. all in all good stuff but it convinced me and jim to sell our bikes and both get 450's a quad for jim of course. enjoy.

the rally car

packed trailer with over $14000 on it. we did the math.

building the jump. it doesnt look big but it is. thats me and jim.

jim

this is what we like to call the face grab, a common trick amongst us.

nothing

coming back down after a trick. dont know how i made it back to the pegs in time.

about to put both feet on the same side.

not enough time for a superman seat grab.

these 2 pics should help you judge height.

what can i say?

no footer.

now for some videos.
