this is just my opinion… even if the guys have done ORD and Gillard they will get seriously injured from this jump i just dont think its worth your life just to jump over a road

My thoughts exactally. I think gillard and Ord look much more fun anyway.

that is insane, for the distance you have to gap, and the angle of the tranny, plus the damn barriers.
it looks like u'd need to be cooking, and it'd probably be hard to judge your speed.

seems like a suicide gap to me. to whoever tries that thing,
i have two words "gods speed"

I dont' know how this is going to work. I was looking at that other thread with the tranny. There is steep and then there is too steep. That tranny is going to disappear fast, and fly right underneath you. I am interested into how this works out. ORD is a snipe as is. This gap is bigger than ord and the tranny looks way more sketch. In my mind I just don't see it adding up, but if someone sends it should be intense!

Some tranny shots would be good.
If the guys are for sure they can pull it off, then holy friggin mega props, but, they for sure gotta be 110% on this one. And im sure they already knew that.

I'm happy to get outside and enjoy nature while I can, but I fear for the future of humanity

isnt it a bad sign when you cant see your on tranny and you're hauling it at 50mph?

build tranny up to barriers.

I was a little dissapointed actually just because all the stuff for sale was mostly for females, but I was able to pick up some "rocket power" which is like a tingiling balm for your peepee.

I was joking I'd probably never have sex with a hooker. I'm friends with a couple of the high up ones though…

Oh dear.

So if you overshoot the tranny, you're cooked, and if you come up short/crooked, you're cooked too.

I worry. Let's say everyone in the building posse hits it, and posts pics up. Everyone sees it, sees it can be done, and then makes the journey to Lethbridge to aim their bars at it. Someone, sometime, is going to get really hurt.

Maybe once you've hit it, tear it all down? That way noobs won't think it will catapult them to mega-stardom and sponsorship, and end up killing themselves instead.

Glad it's not me that has to ride it!

I say the landing is way too steep for that size gap. I wouldn't risk it. Scary stuff for sure. Good luck if they go for it. I hope they survive.
