:lol: Having fun playing with the new bike? ;) My stunt was dismantled by one of the other tenants in our house. :angry: But it was fun while it lasted.

Do you have plans for a backyard like the Evils' now?

I know its super cheeeezy but i havent been on a bike other than to pull my kids around in like 10 years. the problem was keeping my speed as i had to come up my driveway then bang a hard right. and the takeoff was only a 2 x 10. but god what fun.

Dude, you're like a cross between Napolean Dynamite and Uncle Rico. Not only do you build a cheezy jump, but you film yourself going off of it :lol:

actually I give you props, I'd bust my ass going off something like that

You looked like a pro.

You have some ballz, man! :eek: I give you a lot of credit... you are fearless!!! Are you sure you've only been riding your bike to pull the kids around over the last several years? I tried to set up a jump with a pallet and a spare tire Brian had lying around in the backyard...and chickened out 3 times before I just decided to ride over the pallet flat. :oops: WTG!

its my portable workbench. i'm assuming its somewhere around that height. otherwise i'd be bending over to cut shit.

anyway, i know it isnt anything special i'm just so pumped to get back into this stuff. I raced motocross as a kid, i had a halfpipe in my backyard all the way through middle school and high school. i really miss all this kind of stuff sometimes.

You know the real reason Greg has been pushing you so hard to get on a bike is that he finally wanted to be better than you at something.....there goes that dream :wink:

Dude, you're nuts. Nice work! Me thinks you're going to destroy your new bike if you keep that up though. :eek:
