Just some snaps of the kicker me and Matt (Shmeado) built. It measures 2000 x 770mm. Final launch angle of 50 degrees

Gonna be used for water jumping and gotta find a good hill for a downramp!

Yesterday and today we were just hucking it to slight downhills and onto mulch for a soft landing. Here are some pics. I appologise for the lovely over-exposed undies. I am in need of a new belt!

All the young kids in my street and nearby have been watching us make it. Props to the kid who gave us chocolate wafers to see us go off it!

ScottD's ready and rearing to Huck it Bender-style on his new rig!


Um i dont think you need a downramp to huck it bender style, just jump to flat

As much as i hate HTF'ing that's what Scott'll be doing. Me being a hardtailer would rather some matresses or a downramp.

Got a bit more done this arvo, but got stuck cruising with Dicky and pulling old-school tricks

Looks really good, I'd love to hit it.
I think you need to tighten your belt when / if you pull your pants up.;)

Too right. My belt is actually stuffed, but dearest mumsy said she'd buy me one!

and yes jarrad, those are scooter wheels. one is flat spotted though. new ones on the way
