RAD ๐Ÿ˜€

Managed it on skateboards on a smaller scale with both of us wrapped up in several mates' school blazers for protection many, many years ago.

Looks ace. I've always wanted to do a lake jump, ever since I was a wee fella. I'd probably shite myself on the approach though!.

Nice.

Love the old skool stretched one hand, one footer.


Is there anywhere in the uk that has a lake jump?

All you need is some water and a ramp. We used to river jump in Lough Neagh. Tied a life jacket round the bars and filled the frame with spray foam. Sometimes we'd even have a boat team to collect the bike. So much fun. Just check the water for rocks and assorted pointy things first.

My moment of glory came when I jumped over this bad boy. Pretty scarey (had a few hundred spectators) but cleared it with ease ๐Ÿ˜€

I was the one on bottom as it was down to me to time it.
The Ruffell one hand one foot is amazing!

I can think of a certain assistant coach that would love to be the meat in an Atkins-Jedi flyover sandwich...

Good work Jedi.

I remember seeing Ron Wilkerson and Brian Blyther do that at the Kellogg's BMX thingy back in 85. Still impressive now.
