Little gap on building site + video

Took a while to build this as there were large rocks everywhere and also it is a building site so dirt got moved everyday, so nothing stayed the same.

You have to hit it pretty fast so you land futher down the landing as it makes it smoother. Horizontally you go around 2 meters, and vertically id say around 1.8m

So far its the best i've done

Nice, looks like fun.

[j-ro]

looks pretty smooth matey.
Just be careful not to fuck up anyones work on the site. I found craploads of our gear had been set up for some little punks to skate on today.
Not a happy camper.

Is the landing really soft? looks too sandy.

[Scully]

No, landings really firm. we smoothed out an area that you can see, and then it rained and now it is perfect.

Yeah we know all about the builders. I spoke to the main guy in charge and he told us he wasn't gona bother trying to prevent us from going on it, but that we were not to touch any machinery and that he would not be liable for any injury we may cause to ourself. I'm all in favour of that, all this suing shit is getting out of hand anyway.

I'd buy him a 6-pack or something, that sort of behaviour/attitude should be actively encouraged until it becomes normal again!

I have a video of me doing it. Its not very long but it gives u e better idea of its size and the landing. Just dont know how to put the vids up.

[Kreaky]

looks good,

the first pick with a guy doing it loks like he nosed it!!

that builder is a legend!

[dylma]

your lucky how nice the builders are. all the others get scared about it cause you could sue them if you stacked, so they say no and get all angry and threaten to call the cops. stuff like that.

Damn straight! VB will do, but if he wants to use his bobcat to smooth out your run-up/tranny a bit, give him some Crownies :wink:

Pretty sweet gap. Get that vid up!

[Jaskel]

Dam that looks sweet...I wanna find one like that around here....looks like im going on a search run tomorrow..

Nice pics man...are you sure the dude in the first pic dont nose it....

Cheers

Xlnt suggestion! V-smart thing to do.

It was me and im positive I didn't nose it. I've landed it sweet everytime. There is another much larger gap a little down from it that me mate tried. He came up 1m short and buckled his front wheel and did something to his forks. Its still there but im not to keen on hiting it up now. I've got a pic somewhere but it doesn't really give a good view of it. I'll take one today to show it.

Ooh. Did you find a second Newbie translator?? :lol:

Yeah dude, I'd buy this bloke a six-pack. If your mates pitch in, it'll only be a few bucks each. Then all you have to do is rock up during lunch and give it to the foreman bloke you were speaking to. I think he's be fuckin cheerin', and might possibly get the bobcat onto the downramp.
Remember - it's the thought that counts.

Can't hurt can it?

btw: If you're not over 18, then get someone to go fishing for you. hehehe Good ol' days.

Fuckin true.

They are not too big either, 0.6meg and 2 meg.

[VicRiders]

where does the jump lead to after ya go past the landing bit, just another drop????

[Scully]

It just goes down to a stopping area, but if you continue off to the side you can find another drop

[Mahoney_007]

The 2nd vid is better shows the runoff area after the tranny. Wish I had of them near me!!

[Scully]

Did it yesterday, and lent to far back and landed doin a bit of a manual and ended up falling back on my ass. Feeling very sore this morning.
