imagine wat happens when you land and your springs coil all the way and the rebound, youll probably sail back up to the top if you angle it good...i think id die just watching someone try that jump...
but hell thats me, im scared of the 4 footer near my house...

Hahaha...try the 4 footer, 4 feet isn't hard to drop.

Who makes the Karpeil or the Armageddon I'd like to take a look at those bikes they sound sick!

Jan (The sumbag) Karpeil

Karpiel is also known as crap piles.

I'm already figuring things out for it.;) BTW look at the date, I was a bit more reckless back then when I originally made this thread. I have a feeling there will be plenty of pics when and if it happens. It's not on my immediate go do list, but attempting it hasn't left my head yet.

If someone could do the same stuff as him and land it we would have bender replaced :)

If you watch the current vids, you see bender has scaled it down some, and put some style into it as well. He can backflip!

Maelstrom 03-21-05 10:56 PM

I do watch the current vids...heck I have even talked to him. ;)...but my statement is still true. He still goes bigger than everyone. His scaled down is 30 to 40 ft.

Do it. But can you put your bike on some form of bungee cord or something, I can't stomach seeing a nice bike get smashed to bits.

If you ever try it AND land, how much space do you have to slow down?

anthonaut 03-22-05 02:40 AM

Copy it to cd and send? Or is that too expensive/take too long?

Dannihilator 03-22-05 06:03 AM

You could zip them then send them.

I sure hope I know ftp. I was uling and dling files before there was a standard protocol that ftp would use (you would actually have to select which protocol to use zmodem,xmodem etc...) :) ;) If you setup an account I can send them to ya. Thanks.
