a kicker up onto a platform that goes for 50 metres or so and is a metre wide. then a road gap off the end of it.

the RBR had a funbox type jump, this guy is talkin a funbox or NS type thing that is accessed by a kicker (like RBR) but to a roadgap, not a downramp.
if it is the same who cares?

edit: think it's more like supertpoweredshore's

yeah supertpoweredshore's got it. it needs to be at least 50m so the rider has a comfortable amount of time to make the first jump onto the platform and gather some speed to clear the gap

50 metres is a hell of a long way tho... be aware that all your distance perception in actual measurements (not just judging time/speed for when you'll hit stuff etc) goes way out the door as soon as you're moving (even walking changes your perception of distance).

yeah gus hit it one handed :? :eek: i dont have anywhere to make it but it is a good idea. ive got all sorts of ideas for a crazy trail. switch-back hip transfers, never ending dirt jumps, large concrete drainage pipe to drop and more

if it was shorter,like 5m maybe, you could manual it... that'd be smooth. Probably difficult too...
