Found a short clip from a couple yrs ago from the annual 4th of July party we host for my old fraternity buddies and their families. 4 out of 8 of us guys did the jump this first year. One damaged his ear when his head hit sideways in the water, one lost a contact, one slipped a pedal and bloodied his shin. I luckily came out unscathed. I thought I was catching some major air compared to the others until I saw this video
. It was after seeing myself in this video, that I realized I was getting a gut and needed to do some dieting
The following year I built a much better, bigger, WIDER jump for the occasion much to my wifes dismay. We did not do it this past year as the wives were really against it.
None the less..... With an old BMX bike with no brakes, rough lumps in the grass on the run-up and a very skinny dangerous cobbed up jump, I was suprised we actually were able to make ourselves do it at our age.
