The unnecessarily thin and rickety jump was a nice touch, too! Looks like fun.

All the other guys tossed the bike once in the air, but I kind of like the idea of staying with it. As dumb as this may look to most "adults" we really enjoyed ourselves even with the minor injuries
. I drew the line on letting any of them on the MX bikes however as none of these guys ever had any MX experience and no doubt some would have tried the small double jumps with probably bad results
Our group used to dare each other to do all sorts of stuff in college. We always did the "chinese downhill" as the last run on ski trips (I don't recall ever losing
). We also used to drive down to Gatlinburg after having mapped out nearly 4 miles of basically continuous downhill roads winding down from the rental condos above town. We would take turns driving a pickup full of mountain bikes up to the top then race down at stupid speeds around hundreds of tight blind turns with occasional oncoming traffic. Stupid as hell looking back on it, but we had a blast and only one trip to the ER over about a four year period of annual trips.
