It's near my house.

Did you know the jump was there?

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

Looks like a good jump. :thumbsup

Went out my local trail with the dog. See if you can spot the bike in the first pic? :oops: :lol:

I came down the slope from where I took the pic and hit some mud (where the dog is standing), lost the front and it sent me right, down the drop. Not that far down but I managed to roll off to the side so as not to go down the drop head first. :lol: :lol: Should probably start wearing my helmet. :oops:

The dog found it all uninteresting and got bored waiting on me fishing the bike back out. :lol:

Love those jumps when done well!! :mrgreen:

Equally terrifying though when you enter it half-committed and "splat" on the second ramp :shock:

It's also a bad idea to say the words "watch this!" just before a jump.
