  14. Holy sh**,I wonder how far that could jump.
  15. For hydration, I usually start the day before. I drink a lot of V8 Splash and try to avoid anything with caffeine or alchohol. The V8 loads me up with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The day I ride I drink Powerade. I don't ride at tracks, I only trail ride so I am not sure on your times, but usually my day is about 4 to 5 hrs. That consists of not only some hard trail riding, but I will usually spend about an hour or so digging out some jumps. I will drink a 32 ounce powerade before I ride. After I am done digging I drink a Monster Energy ReHab. When I am done my ride another Powerade. On to the jumps. I ride by myself. On the trail I look for anything that I can get lift off of. My favortie jump I use, I dug out myself and use some old tires someone was nice enough to leave behind on the lip to give it some extra spring. When I am jumping I start out slow and work my way up. I might hit the jump 10 or 15 times before I even take a hand off of the bars. If I don't like the way it throws me or the way the quad is flying,I maight not even hit a trick that day. This is why I ride alone. Noone wants to watch me dig for an hour and then just keep hitting the same jump. On the track the best way to do it is WATCH THE OTHER RIDERS. What gear are they in? How does their motor sound? Is it pinned or mid throttle? Where are they positioned on the bike? If you can watch someone that is making the jump, get on the track with them. You can follow them at a safe distance, keeping speed with them and if they make it you will too. Also don't be afraid to ask someone at the track. "Hey what gear are you hitting that in?" Most guys are more than willing to help out. Also remember, if the other guy is on a modified 450 and you are on a clapped out 250....well you will need a different gear and a lot more pinned. Now my most important advise. If you are gonna be jumping, use the proper safety gear. I always wear my helmet, goggles, riding pants, chest protector, elbow pads, knee/shin pads, riding boots, gloves, and a neck collar. This is some footage from my last ride where I did a little sleigh riding on my helmet. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97_E3k_WyoY]ATV Hits Trees Epic Helmet Cam - YouTube[/ame]

  20. I don't know how many of you watch the X-Games, but Caleb Moore was critically injured in the snowmobile best trick contest. As a way to help raise some money to assist Caleb and his family with the mounting medical bills, Jackson Strong is auctioning off his custom modified X-Games contest snowmobile. It's a way to own an awesome machine and help out Caleb and his family in these very tough times. Give it a look.
