394 reason to jump again; getting ready, who wants...
10/8 --Hey everyone, sorry it’s taken me so long to post a BLOG – especially after my last jump of nearly 400 feet. Things are super crazy right now and I’ve pretty much been getting ready for my next Jump. So let’s catch up: here’s some info on my last jump: June 26th, 08 – It was with the support of the community and my friends & a few local sponsors that I was able to set up my dirt bike for another BIG jump reaching yet another big number!! Unfortunately we had some winds that morning; I only had one attempt at this goal and I knew I just had to go for it – it was that one attempt that now has my front tire landing down across a 400 foot goal line while my back tire measured a sweet hit of 394.7 feet. With my bike reaching speeds over 100MPH, one attempt at launching the bike off my ramp, and two local surveyors were out to record my efforts – It was sweet! Even though my actual goal was not reached that day it put me one step closer to that accomplishment. And guess what, we’ve got the VIDEO! If you’ve not already seen it – PLEASE check it OUT! And I will be adding more soon!!

AND Stay tuned – I am gearing up for that next jump… I will keep you all posted!! Thanks - BIRD
