I did actually jump a loaf van (71) at one point...spot I used to
jump my rabbit habitually, had just bought it and wasn't thinking
when I hit the "ramp" (railroad track in kirkland)got about a good
20 ft or so of air, landed, the tires held, but were never the same.

Had to replace my drivers seat though...and buy a "donut" :oD

Find a nice, long hill, and build a 4-foot ramp at the bottom, at about 30
degrees inclination, you should be able to get about 25-30 yards of air
time. Make sure you take a video of it, and post it to the list.... can't
wait to see this! ;-)

Happy Holidays to everyone!
