    Sorry, its just the camera for whatever reason picks up all the wind, where the gopro and many other seem to cut the wind out. :?:
    and i dont know how to edit it and put music.
    Technically its not a hardcore MTB video without Rookie by BoySetsFire :lol:

    I have hit that thing many times, and for whatever reason, i have never cleared it, so i dont try anymore. the takeoff does not cut it for me, so i'm talking to some buddies about building a wood freestyle ramp their in its place, or to put next to it at least.

    I think it's more a function of speed than gnar...

    I am sure anyone could crawl* down it on an XC bike, but unless you're Lopes or someone of that caliber I would bet you would not keep up with your equal on a dh bike...at least not me you wouldn't!

    :bang:

    *Well maybe a little better than crawl.

    im uploading another video i just took today.. Tried a different view, i think you guys will like it, although the sun made it really glared on a few of the jumps and stuff...
    i couldnt see when i hit the stepup, i just saw sun, so i rolled it HAHA.
    it should be up in about 45 minutes or so, since youtube is being slow

    I'd rather see you put the ramp next to the step up. I like it as is. Really all there is to clearing it is going balls out at it. The ramp to that thing is THE only place I've really bottomed my Totem out hard.
