Default Re: "It's just how we rolled"

we did the same thing, If I remember correctly, we measured a 16' jump (far not height)on a single speed 24" bike I did it on as I bent the front forks on the landingThose were the days

Back in the early 1970`s in Logan Square (Chicago neighborhood) my buddies and I were imitating Evil Knievel. We would build the largest ramps out of a large doors and jump over 55 gallon drums.

One day my friends little brother decided to try jumping over 5 - 55 gallon drums. He did it and was a terrible mess. Luckily he survived but it was so similar to Evil`s crash over Caesars Palace. It`s amazing we survived those day.
