[QUOTE="Papakeith, post: 1113349, member: 19688"] I've had that feeling. I took my Brother's son riding. I had one of those Manco Thunderbirds for him to try out. You know the kind. No suspension, questionable brakes at best. He loved it :) He was doing real well on it too. Then he started trying a larger downhill. The bike stalled on the way down. Well, he wanted to try the hill again and he certainly wasn't going to let that bike stall a second time. He got himself set for the downhill again and pinned it. Down he came at break-neck speed. still pinned He then bounced/jumped over a smallish burm at the bottom of the hill. I thought for sure he was done for. He actually got a couple of inches off the ground. Not a problem for Justin. still pinned He blasted across my field of vision. still pinned He rode straight towards a 15 ft mound of dirt with a 3 ft tall ramp built on one side. He hit the ramp pinned Justin flew on that Manco Thunderbird. Flew about 5 ft in the air and covered at least 10 ft before he "landed". The first bounce seperated most of Justin from the thunderbird. Only his arms were still attached. The second bounce Joined them again. The third saw the handle bars swap from lock to lock. Finally he was flung to the ground hard, the bike skidding to a stop. He lay there motionless as I ran over to him. As thoughts of, "I just killed my brother's son" ran through my head I approached his still form. Just as I got there he sat up and took in the moment, then got up and said, "WHOOOPIEEEE!!!! That's the biggest jump I ever did!!!!! He was fine. But for that brief instant I thought I had surely killed him or at the very least maimed him. Yeah I know that feeling. [/QUOTE]
