Replying to Lets here some road gap experiences
Anyone been hucking over multi lane highways lately? how about secondary highways? rural roads? Anyone?
I was eyein out this spot last year and told myself i was going to throw down over it. Come spring time i told my cuz'n to take me out to it and i'd throw down and he'd shit his pants and what not.
Couldn't have asked for a better day, snow was easy to shape but fast at the same time. Nice spring weather. So we were piling snow and piling snow and finally the booter's finished. Packed it down and built the run in....
I was scared shitless at this point knowing i had to do it. No turning back no pussying out. Just go big or go home.
One test run, figgured my speed was good enough to clear the guard rail on the landing side of the road(fucking sketchy). So Trucker after trucker went by finally worked up the balls to do er. 50 or so ft to the other side of the road + 25 ft in the air gets a bit nerve racking.
So i straight lined and flew it over the road cleared the guard rail by a couple feet and road away.
By this time I was pretty stoked on what i'd accomplished. Hiked to the top of the in run as the sun was setting. Just a picture perfect scene. I told my cousin to bust out his vid camera and away i went. Straight lined at the booter, dropped my left shoulder and hucked a misty 5 with a stylish lil safety. Didn't ride away too cleanly with the landing as short and sketchy as it was. It looked pretty damn mint on camera and i was pretty stoked to throw what i did, 2nd road gap hit of my life.
Told a couple pals about it came back the next weekend. My friends first try he smacked his ski on the guardrail. (only because he did a little pussy carve to slow down a bit before the jump). Then he threw a fatty back and a fucking corked 7 over it. pretty fucking nuts i must say. I stuck to the stylish 180's and sketchy misty 5's. We got some good footage that day and that night we made cheers to the road gap session.
moral of the story: 'go big or don't go anywhere at all.' cheers
