You have a holiday booked yes? Why don't you build youeself up and try the bigger kickers when you go away first to check your skillz? and so you can actually understand the scale of what you're letting yourself in for?
I'm all for people pushing themselves and what not - but I agree with everyone else - you'd be bonkers to try this thing out...
I saw someone break their neck at cas once riding a gap kicker because he didn't fully know what he was doing... it wasn't even that big! Imagine the damage you'd do trying this beast out? |

what if you dont clear it?
I have a good friend who came up short on a gap of around 40 feet. it was a road gap, the force of the landing sheared the ball off his femur and the bone went up his back under the skin to around his kidneys, leaving his knee mid way up where his thigh used to be. Huge amounts of surgery and 2 months in traction were required to put this somewhere near right.Turns out when stuff like this goes wrong its not like jackass or diehard.
That said, pain is a temporary state and glory is permanent. Either way you will certainly be remembered.
WWSED what would seth enslow do? |

This is true and I am planning on hitting the park pretty big on holiday but that is not until next year and we get the best snow November/December usually.
Looks like it won't happen for the canal gap, doesn't mean there are no other places to build a kicker, just maybe not something so ambitious for now.
Will see when the fresh drops. |
