Ricky Carmichael demonstrates how to do a whip jump. Maybe we should practice a few of these at the spring rally? I'll let someone else go first...   ::)

I think i did one of those at the fall rally. Of course i didn't mean to... and i didn't land like that.   I love hows he says "its just easy".
Whos in for a big trip? Alsaka? Moab (again)? Baja?

Well he does make it look easy.   I'm just happy to land from anything over about 3' of air without crashing, so I don't think I'll be trying.
Not sure what Carmichael's count is, but I've heard Travis Pastrana has broken over 30 bones.

I am too fat to jump. That is what i tell everyone that asked me if i race.

There's one guy that can whip his bike 180 and still yank it back to land. I could only wish I had the skills. Check out Todd Potter
