This morning my original plan was just to do a few speed runs and continue testing my new suspension from De Wayne Jones on the 200 ft. natural jump. When I headed towards the ramp on my 2nd speed run I just decided to go for it. It was a bit scary because after the first speed run the batteries went out in our radar gun so I had no idea how fast I was going on the 2nd speed run. I backed off quite a bit on the throttle. I hit the ramp in my usual low flying tucked position and soared 330 ft. and 6 inches. Little did I know at the time that the current 4 stroke World record was set by Ryan Capes in Australia and was 324 ft. So almost by accident I set a new 4 stroke world record today......

That's how I thought they should all do those distance jumps. The guy is backsiding an entire damn hillside, not a mound of dirt. With the setup he's got there, whew...420, 430 even 450ft may be possible.
