This was put together by Savvyboy, so I'm posting it up here on the net for all to watch.

Plenty of crahes, some backflips, and tree trimming.

beware of music if you have parents around or kids.......

you should warn us next time bro, my daughter was watching the video with me
Sorry, I couldn't really hear the music, had my stereo turned waaay down to a whisper, couldn't make out the words.

Well with Tex's warning, got some bad music in it. Time to open the editor and wipe the music.

Compressing a new, clean version now. Didn't have alot of music choices for 3:18 seconds of video unless I edited, so I just through Youth Gone Wild in it. Hey, I'm an 80's child.
Jeeze, I need a faster computer. It took about 40 minutes to recompress the video with the new music.

pretty cool, must suck if u miss the ramp
I do usually miss it. Several times......

I can nail about 3 out of 4 jumps. I guess thats the problem with going full bore. Don't have alot of run up room to get it straight, and still hit with decent speed. Also, traction is an issue as I keep balding good tires so I gave up a while ago and just run a really bald set of crimefighters at the bash. So bald that they are smooth as a baby's butt. Can't see any sign that tread was ever on them.

The first jump was about 78ft measured from lift off to the tree. I guess its about 15ft of air as the ramp really doesn't give all that much height.

The ramp exactly as wide as my Jammin CRT, so with a buggy at full bore its not always easy to light it up exactly. The more room I have the easier it gets to get it lined up as I get up to speed. I'd guess I hit the ramp near 30mph because it only takes about 2 seconds for it to fly about 70ft before landing. Works out to an average speed of 25mph to cover the flight distance.
why not get a set of panther C compound slicks or road rages or those goofy lookin duratrax onroad tires, makes alot more sense than running an outdoor tread
I thought about it, but for bashing purposes I don't want to be wasting a set of rubber every two weeks.

It has a 17th cb on it now and its still spins the tires pretty bad. Sure, more traction would stop it from spinning the front tires badly even with 30k in the center diff. I just don't want to drop $40 on a set of tires I'll destroy in less than a month.
I don't think you'll wear out a set of road rages. In 4 years I've never seen a worn out set
