The closest you'll get to actual ejector time on a bike or motorcycle still remains flouter time and that also can only be achieved by leaving the ground below you. Remember gravity plus some other force greater than zero should be pulling you down in order for that.

Anywho I had to post this here cause it's the most beautiful display of freestyle MX I've ever seen.

And that is just a bit of Travis and the team, you guys should see the DVD!

Today I banged down the horse trail outside my property and it hurt! Last time that I biked the horse trail, the seat popped off when I went over a buried log step down.

If your seat pops off mid-ride, you probably need a better bike. [lol]

Today I was coming down off the field hill, was going fast, suddenly hit something in the ground that made me fly over the handlebars, fall on the ground and slide a few feet. I got REAL elector this time!

Lean back on your bike some more, there is no way that you should be flying off of your bike going down a simple grassy hill. [lol]

Why does everyone have to be such an asshole about cool5's jet coasters? It's his choice if he wants to make and upload them, and if they honestly annoy you so much, just don't download them!

"elitist" asshole. You were missing a part.

I don't download them regardless.

I agree with Supercell. If you don't like what cool5 makes then don't download them...

Just to bring some life back into this pointless thread...lol

This past Sunday I got some deadly airtime on my bike. I was ripping down a downhill course at a local ski resort; I was going so fast that I hit a small jump, flew over a berm and literally SMASHED into the jump behind it. I ended up bruising my hip, bruising just about every muscle on the left side of my lower back and left thigh. To top it off, when I finally came down out of Earth orbit, my handle bar twisted so fast that it ripped my thumb out of its socket which ended up ripping a chunk of bone off. Yay fun.

Now I can't ride my bike for almost a month, or until I regain function of my thumb. By the way, life is freaking hard with only one thumb!

What do you mean? There is now a chuunk of bone floating around the joint somewhere. Next Tuesday when I go in for a follow up appointment I will be getting a copy of the x-rays to show off.

The dumb thing is that I didn't even think it was broken. Friends and I rode for almost 2 more hours after the accident happened. I was obviously taking it slow, but I was still using my broken thumb to shift. No wonder why it felt so funny to shift. [lol]

It looks more like a blob of poo on it now, but I will get a picture as soon as I find out how to recharge this retarded camera.
