too much tilt. take the original photo, rotate it about 40 degrees counter clock-wise and you'll have a more realistic angle on it. you can tell the shot is slightly skewed by the angle of the trees in the background. the shot was also probably taken with a fish-eye lense.
here's how the shot looks with the rotation i mentioned. it's still pretty steep if you ask me.

Here are some shots that I got today
My mate nick doing a gap measured 8m accross by 3m down, but it also gives you alot of kick upwards.
Another guy doing same gap, landing is behind me and a bit below me.
My mate Andrew doing a step down on the same track, not sure about measurements but estimated about 5m accross by 2.5-3m down with a lip that gives you a bit of height. (landing is the second brown patch behind the bush in the foreground of the shot)
Me doing same gap (landing is the slope in foreground)
Same gap but this one I cased it HARD, rode it out but it hurt, I guess that is what happens when you loose your footing on the run in and only hit it with half the required speed

They are both on the trail called Windy Point in Belair. The first gap is on Windy's right and the second gap is on Windy's Left.

Hey everyone, new to the forum, fairly new to mountain biking. I've been jumping ever since I was little with the basic bricks and wood . Now I stepped it up a notch. [Well, quite a few] with a new 2005 Norco VPS A-Line. Plan on doing some hardcore freeride. Biggest jump I've taken with this baby so far has been only a 3 footer. I've had this bike for a few days and basically gonna tune it up a bit. [New springs for the fork (A little soft) and increase the pressure in the rear shock] Overall, crazy pictures on this thread, I hope to add to it soon. Later.

Out of one of our small sets. This one sucks because its a really slow set. There are bigger, faster ones further down the trail.
Only jump Ive got a picture of.

Dirtbike, those look fun. I hate the bmx style jumps.
Scrub, what do you ride again. And if the trees were more dense, I would swear with that fog, you were on the north shore
Dirtjump, have you posted that drop before? The first part anyways looked really familiar.

I'm just going to nock my brains out anyways.
