    it.

  6. i have come up w/ a few ideas on how to do it a little safer with the
    same method. If you put a lower pallet just before it, and put one at
    the back of it ... it should be a lot safer.

    I am using your way to measure. Its a lot more accurate, and easier to
    measure. You have a take off point, and a landing point. If you go pass
    the take off point, you roll off the curb, and awkwardly try to jump.
    If you miss the landing point, well, you dont land on the pallet. Easy
    to set up, easy to judge, easy to measure. Easy.

    Im not sure how many people will beat your record, so maybe this thread
    should be 70% competition, 30% of "Post your best long jump for fun!"

  10. I can do what looks to be 5.5 feet. I just practice with 2 cracks on my
    road but I should measure it and use scrobo's curb to pallet method for
    a video.

    be careful though. if you catch the edge of that pallet wrong you are
    going down hard, try to find something at least a foot wide and about
    an inch shorter to put in front of the pallet(leave a gap and its easy
    to see if you made the gap or missed it.

  12. I would be interrested in participating to that competition if it
    happens.

    At OUI, with the official method of measurement with the two sticks, I
    did 7'6" (90 in), officially. Just after the competition, I tried for
    fun 93 inches, and got it.

    With your method Skrobo, I did 8'3". I'm pretty sure I could do a bit
    more with some practice...

  13. thats really good, way above average... i have hit over 10 feet, but
    never on video 🙁 I was scared to go any farther because of the munchin
    it factor.

    I'm going to make a competition thread ... Up stairs, Down stairs, and
    flat gaps competition.
    in rsu or videos though?

    EDIT: best I have done with measuring sticks or whatever is 9' 3"

    Yeah no kidding! This is how I measure my gaps (curb to pallet), but if
    you land on the very edge of the pallet then 1) you will bottom out
    unless you're at 10000 PSI and 2) when your rim hits the edge it goes
    backwards and you go forwards. Doing this, I have easily gone flying 10
    feet.

    The next one I know of will be at Uninats in Australia but I'm guessing
    you want something a little closer :-)

    The official world record using the two stick method used at UNICON and
    various national meets is 2.80m (9ft 2 in). Note that other people may
    have personal bests better than this, but 2.80m is the best achieved
    thus far under competition conditions.

    70 psi keeps me from bottoming out on head-on missed gaps. Im 165lbs.
