drop off

Post by 2strokeforever »

i made a new drop off, im guessing 9' vertical drop, its got a narrow crooked approach and a sidehill landing

i made quite a few false runs before going for it, im running the same suspension that i run in the woods, didnt even touch the clickers

on the last drop i got a little sideways and the wheels landed in a bit of a low spot and with my luck there was the top of a massive rock under the leaves.... ripped the skidplate right off and put a dent in the frame rail :shock:



now im on the hunt for a bigger drop but with a rock free landing, and maybe less trees right by the landing area

i know it sounds a little rich on top, dropped my slide and destroyed my last good C series needle, so now im trying out the DGL
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

I used to have no fear when it came to downhill drop offs. I would scare the hell out of my dad on a regular basis. Then one day riding my Suzuki RM50, I went off an 8 ft drop tapped in 3rd and snapped the bike in half. I'm cured. That being said, I still like drop offs, but I keep them small and slow. This one looks fun. Cool vid.
