Nice, so that's probably 30-40 feet launch to land, would you think? Launch speed 50 mph-ish?

I've read some of that thread. Now that I plan to jump I'll give it a more thorough read.

this is what a real jump looks like.

all joking aside, just find a spot you think you can catch some air, then start off around 30-40 mph, and go 5 ish mph faster each time you hit it.

OK Check this JUMP!!!!!

Yeah! Don't like the clunk sound much, it makes me nervous, but it doesn't sound metal-bending bad.

Stop ignoring my questions about launch speed.

160mph.......... but to get that speed you need a hennessey supercharger..........

I think the sound was the chain I had in the bed of the truck...


Also, I'm not sure about my speed. This was my first jump. White knuckled on the steering wheel and pedal to the floor. I was only in second gear.

I was keeping my eyes on the road (sand)....

I think my first jump will go much that way. Thanks for the video. I think your theory about the chain is accurate cuz I heard the same clunk it the other videos you posted. You have a Stage 4 correct?
