I've never hit anything bigger than 65-70 feet--- but I think that if I had the opportunity--- I would too...I'd just need a lot of encouragement from my buds

I highly doubt many around here would try it and if they did, it would most certainly result in worse injuries than T.

pm(if you're comming out) me and i will give my cell number so you can contact me when you can come out here.

i got like 10 kids who would be down to help you get everything set up tho.

you would prolly be the only one to hit it. but its nice to have a bunch of spectators. but you gotta pay for life flight if your ass gets hurt *and im being dead serious that shit is expensive*

Ya, I don't have anywhere near the experience with jumps to even consider it right now. Maybe after I've lived out west a few years and work up to it. Ha, I still doubt it.

man shit looks so much smaller than it actually is on tape... considering the biggest thing ive ever hit was 80 feet, and that was some scry shit, id probly say no. but i would have to see it first, its so hard to tell if youve never seen it in person

If there were film crews saying like go for it and sponsor people were there along with the pros I think my adrennaline would take over. So it depends.

deffinatly, i wouldn't have the cajones to launch myself over a huge gap going that fast. No thanks, i'll be the guy cheering you on from the sidelines.

i definately wouldn't, b/c when you are going that fast off a jump, there are so many factors you have to consider, and i would most likely have my legs give out on me and do half a back flip and undershoot it

buahaha. Give me a break dude. I am all for being crazy (injured last three years in a row for at least 2 months at a time), but if you mess up, it is likely to be quite serious. I bet the biggest jump you've hit is around 70 (if that big). This is nearly twice that. yah.
