Wow someone doesn't know how to make a ramp. We used to jump ramps but we made the taller, my bike broke in half once after landed. Amazing how i never broke a bone.

Hah! I was in mid jump once, and the front wheel came off. I forget how many stitches that one took to fix. This was a "normal" type occurance for me in my youth. Needless to say, our doctor knew me well.

My son was always a fairly big kid. He had a "dirt bike", a Mongoose, and was always building ramps and making jumps. He built a pretty steep one, came flying down the driveway and along side the house. When he hit the ramp the front fork snapped with, shall we say, some catastrophic results for his "jump". Another trip to the ER to get him patched up.
Dang. That father(?) just waddled over there and yanked the kid right up without even checking for any injuries.

I've seen that effect before when I was a kid back in the '60s or early '70s. We built a big ramp/jump in the alley behind our house. We all jumped it on Stingray type bikes and had fun. Then one of the kids' older brothers came out with a 10-speed, and we all warned him not to try to take it on such a bike. But he insisted. The result was very much like what's in that video. Except that he ended up going over the edge of the alley and into the barbed wire fence that kept horses in the field back there. He got a nasty cut on his lower lip area and had a scar from that for as long as I knew him.

I have 2 but they were born strangely terrified of Bikes.I'm guessing you don't have any kids of your own.
