[rootar]

i had some guys want to see some more video of jumps and bashing at my house. so i went over to my mx track to do some light bashing and sort out some temperature problems i was havin awhile back.

im not showing the BIG jump yet yall will have to wait for it but a hint will be that im having to gear it up for 45mph just to make it and the ramp is 8 feet tall

let me know what you guys think as ususal.

Damn you've got the perfect place to bash. Nice job on those jumps. Looks like you have great control of the truck in the air. My only recommendation is to put thicker oil in the shocks. Even on the smaller jumps, the chassis would slap like no other...

Looking forward to the FMX ramp jumps.

[rootar]

thats 50 in the front 40 in the rear......i dont think there is anyway to stop the slap from most of those jumps....maybe i could go down to two hole pistons rather than 3s

That's awesome driving rootar!! Great control in the air, I loved the back flip.. Very cool vid..

Hey I ride to. what do you ride?

[rootar]

i have (2) crf450 hybrids one 400ex geometry the other 250r geometry, a 400ex, and an xtreme CR3 pitbike. Dirt101 there are other videos of me riding on my youtube.

Very nice driving. On that one jump it seemed to pause upside down and then you brought it around.

[rootar]

yea i was trying to decide which way i wanted to bring it back, either finish the flip or slam the brakes and make it come all the way over forward (which ill put in the next video) ill also remember to get some video of what i call the flair its where i hit the ramp in reverse cut the wheels hard at the top and give it full throttle forward, it does a 180 reverse frontflip and lands going forward........youll just have to see it

[dirt101]

wow its a small world I guess. I just noticed you live in arkansas, but I was watching your riding videos then I saw the highway 89 whoops section video. I used to ride out there nearly every weekend a couple of years ago back when I used to live in Conway.

wow really small world, those whoops are nasty... bad off rythem and all different heights lol, i almost broke my back easter weekend at hwy89 over the double before the tripple. throttle lever inside the thumb throttle housing come loose in the face of the jump and i cased it bad, had two bulging discs and a heimatoma 5cm x 6cm x 2cm thick, still going to PT for that, i have a nasty round scar in the middle of my lower back too.
if you ever come back to conway to visit holler at me and ill meet you out at hwy89 we can ride some and hit up the pitbike track with the r/c's

[dirt101]

oh man a pitbike track. haha. they must have built that since I have been. I'm actually coming june 25 but am flying so I will have no bike. i would piece down my 85 but they wont allow it since the shocks are pressurized. My CRT is coming for sure though.
