bubba video. how does he do it?

[scottsimpson]

Check out this video of bubba on his first ride after his injury. About 1/2 way it looks like he completely overjumps going into another takeoff but is unaffected by it. How is he able to absorb such a huge impact just before he launches of the next jump. Incredible!!

my friend, you need a little more than factory suspension to do that. bubba's awesome!

--oh, and i think it was $10,000 suspension.

OK, so in that photo, what exactly was he doing? About to land? Just launching? About to crash? I can't imagine how he pulled out of that positon and ended up on 2 wheels, regardless...

 

[whyzee]

Smit,
That's his launch.
The kid is unreal! :|

 

[Smit-Dog]

WOW...

BTW, I couldn't get the video to display correctly until I went to this link (using QT 6.3):

I was there, saw him whipping it up front and personal....I still don't understand how he did it...He was still out jumping everyone on doug henry hill even staying that low...His speed and TALENT is unmatched!

 

[High Lord Gomer]

That's not actually his launch, from what I read. Supposedly he was actually preloading halfway up the hill, leaving the ground, then laying it flat to clear the top while staying as low as possible.

I don't care if any of us had $300,000 suspension, he would make us look as silly as AJ made me look on Oldloafer's TTR125.

 

[Testicleez]

WOW! How does he do THAT after being pummulled into the ground several weeks ago?

 

[Zerotact]

Whats up with him flicking his bike all cockeyed over the jumps? Is that some kinda tailwhip?

 

[High Lord Gomer]

He does that to stay as low as possible and get back on the ground as soon as possible so he can get back on the gas to go *even faster than humanly possible*!

He is unreal!

 

[RM_guy]

That kid is incredibly fast!!! He even makes me look slow :scream:

 

[High Lord Gomer]

Don't blame him. If you're going to blame something, blame....um, light!

If there was no light, you wouldn't look slow!

 

[RM_guy]

I'm actually very fast, and talented too. It's a good thing I'm so humble too or it wouyld go to my head ;)

 

[High Lord Gomer]

It might as well go there...plenty of unused space! :p

 

[ocechap]

Surely, it must take much more energy and effort to do that than just a normal jump. Goes to show how much of an athelete he is.

It's Florida...

Look at it, Carmichael...Bubba...Florida boys.

Oranges and Old people are the key to success!

 

[yzrider112]

yah man hes amazing i don't see how he does it he sponges soo good its crazy i don't see how hes not hurt ALL the time

 

[jaction125]

Just saw my first pro race at RED BUUUUD! It is freakin' amazing to watch these guys ride. :aj:

Fourth gear pinned over the "parachute" jump, they can't see anything on the approach except the takeoff, simply amazing! :worship:

100 plus foot jump and you can't see the landing until you're in the air :scream:

And Bubba whipped it wicked style over that jump every lap!! :worship:

 

[Lemming]

He was doing the same thing over the big ski jump at Redbud on Sunday, unbelievable.  At one point he started showboating and I swear his upper leg was higher than his head.
