Spiderman...I thought that was Carlo. He should have worn that spider all weekend. I only saw it at the barrel races.

It was actually a bit "bigger" this year. Earlier in the week before Kris re-worked it, I sat at the top looking down, and thought to myself "there is no way this is the same jump I was clearing last year". Well, this thing just looks big no matter what, but like you said pictures usually don't do it justice.
This year, on my "loser/obsolete" two stroke it takes about 90% to clear it even when I square up the corner and get a good run, where last year it was more like 80%, not sure specifically what's different though.

The big step-up:
It was bigger this year no doubt. Last year I could cruise up the approach in 4th, let off for a second, then gas it on the takeoff. This year I shifted to 4th and held her open until I was airborne. It was pretty easy Thursday morning, I saw Will P hit it using the middle line and I was able to make about 15 clean passes. Then in the tag-team MX race, I hit it both laps in the middle line and clipped my back tire on the landing both times as the approach was getting choppy. I shoulda stopped there, but Thursday afternoon, I watched a few locals on 450's hit some different lines (since the middle one was spent) and I decided to try a new line. All was good, until I got kicked in the last few feet. Went off sideways, came up short, and got ejected. Ouch. Had to rest up most of Friday, until I found buko's pain pills. :ohmy:
