hay were u llive? i live on the beach too, we jumo of a 2 metre hugh peir, with a 40cm ramp that kicks u like a metre high, so u go like 3.5metres high is u go fast, only tryed bar hops and there easy as u bail when ur done

[Mungoman45]

Yup, a lot of people here do that sort of thing :D. Check out my thread from ages ago, there's plenty of pics in there. Hehe, we always used to call it Creek Jumping :cool: Check em out HERE (http://www.fmxaustralia.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=3038#post3038)

yeah those photos are sic, brad, but we cant take our moto's on the peir:(, still nice big run up, but salt water roots the bike, after the first time the cranks had siezed, even though i washed it with fresh water and filled it with wd40, it still did it, but i fixed it for tomorrow, so i hope its hot

[Mungoman45]

hehe HOT?....lol, dont think ya got any worries in that department man, if there, is anything like here in QLD...predicted low 40's next week....oh damn it's gunna be a hot Christmas.

I live on flinders Island, I jumpin off a little jettie at the moment, but up the road about 200m there is a big one, I'll do off that in about a week, gotta kicker for the pushbike and everything, kickers probly 1m high, bit less

[gazza]

lol, i've so far done 180's tundowns and real shit supamans, :D

[kyle]

mine is a not such a kicker, it is a launcher,

[gazza]

holy sh*t mongoman! Thats sik!

[gazza]

lol, that kicker of mine is too dodgy to jump on land, i tried it once and farqed my knee, couldn't ride for about 2 weeks. :(

[kyle]

ha ha, my friend tried to jump it on the pier onto the wood, and mauled his knee into the wood, it was funny, so then jump off the peir

[gazza]

[gazza]

i went dam jumping 3-4 weeks ago and i dont think i wanna do it again it was fun as but i used my push bike i have to ride to school and work on and after i went dam jumping i never did anything just left it and when i pedal it feels funny int he crank and that ws 3-4 weeks ago so i might pull it apart tommorow and see whats wrong and just buy some new bearings and pack it full of grease and when the bike fully ****s up the old man cant get up me and he has to buy me a new one hahaha

[gazza]

lol, yeh, the bike I jump in are these cool bikes me bro found at the tip, the old bmx ones, funnt stuff, I'm hottin it up, new paint job and sticker kit :D. My normal bike that I jump on land in farqued, the A star is rootd, picked up the frame and the forks fell off :D

[gazza]

[fmx_kid89]

i jump into water i can do backflips and heelclickers and stuff its heaps of fun

[enslow]

yep, "lake jumping" as I call it, is bloody good fun...I've been doin it for about 5 years, when I was about 12...haven't been for about 3 months though, cause the lake here is bloody dirty, full of eels and weeds and sh*t...know...never done it in salt water though, but it gotta screw up ya bike...I usually use a 4 ft high wooden ramp, but we use to have a dirt launch about 6ft high, but the bloody council knocked it down, people walkin there dogs use to bring chairs and watch me my bro and 3 other mate, taking turns on 3 bikes, use to do trains and everything, can pull flips, indian airs, sh*t KOD's, double grabs etc......can be very dangerous to, I got 3 stiches in the back of my head first time I tried a flip in there about 3 years ago but can now pull flips on land so that where they started, and my mate f*cked tendents in his hand when he bailed in the air and pushed the bike forward and the bike didn't sink cause of the bottles and ripped his hand on the bolt where the brakes use to be...8 stiches I think...

but bloody good fun......and it keeps ya cool up here in QLD, like mungoman was sayin it f*ckin stinkin here...

[gazza]

jeez, the only near damage ive done is I din't get enough speed for the ramp, clipped the jettie with my back wheel, woulda done a front flip if the jettie was higher ;)

[FoXRaCiNG]

sounds like fun

wish i had a deep river near me to doo that stuff
have fun

[mulisha_mike]

yea river jumping is awsome, me and a friend were swimming in at on the 4th of july this summer and there was like 50 people swiming so we quick got some boards and set them up and when i hit it one of the middle supports colapsed and the thing bent so much that once i got to the end it launched my back end up in the air and i did almost a front flip but landed on my bak ouch, im buildin a real ramp now so i can really try it this upcomin up summer, and you guys whould get some crappy bikes to use if thats not what you using cause i wouldnt wreck a good one
