    It isnt a 25 ft gap, its a lone jump as you leave the jump section. the faster you go the farther you fly as there is no true landing.

    I cleared 35 feet on it. That means Ray has to do it next time.

    I believe this is the jump they are talking about. (I wasn't there. I had to work)

    I'm not sure if this was the 25 footer or not. However, at some point in the day Grego did measure out the distance.

    This one also sends you pretty far.

    We haven't measured this one yet.

    I almost lost it on that one in your last pic. I rarely go off of it. I wanted to hit it, and just it--I started halfway up, rather than all the way at the top, and cruised in enough to get some air. I honestly don't know what happened! I recall trying to style it up a little, but the bike started drifting to 1 side, and I saw I wasn't gonna land straight and yelled something explicit, bounced and lost traction, but the bike recovered upon touching down again and I rolled out and hit a couple jumps beyond. :D

    No one explained what happened there. Did I overshoot it a little or something? Felt like the bike almost got away from me there. Not really sure why I panicked right before landing.

    It looked like your back tire lost traction and slid on the take off, you looked squirrelly as hell upon take off.

    Had a great time, but damn all those jumps and drops looked so tempting. Oh well for now I'm just happy to be out on the trails again once my foot is 100% ill be flying again. Btw loving the new Nomad build!
