I am still paying for knee surgery from a spill on a yamaha at less than 5 mph.

AZ200cc, I was just teasing about the helmets, I saw the explanation in the video

. I also liked the text, it was just hard to read, it was the color, I think if it was a different color the same font/size would work just fine

AZ200cc · 07-16-2007, 11:39 PM

Jim I expected to get flamed for not wearing a helmet

, And rightfully so, At least You read the explanation. But I said I would post pics and it all worked out that day..So..
I have decided to just pick up a cheaper helmet and be done with it. I will remember to change to font color...Maybe bright pink 8O

Well this thread made me want to go out in the yard and get some pics - they aren't of the greatest quality, just used my little helmet cam. (sorry about the high grass too) Also notice I'm not going high at all and this bike lands hard - I would not consider this a jumping bike.

Last pic is the same jump on my KX125 - I was hoping you could see the difference a real MX bike can make, even on such a small jump.

AZ200cc · 07-16-2007, 11:55 PM

Nice pics John 8) .....Looks like about four inches higher with the KX...

* edit *

Mine landed fine, Pretty smooth actually. But it is way to heavy for constant jumps.

John22j · 07-17-2007, 12:02 AM

Yeah, probably about right - still this isn't really a jump, just a pile of dirt outside of a corner on the little churned up track I have in the yard for practicing turns. Still, the KX doesn't even feel a jump like that and the Hensim schmacks and thuds. I have video of it all, but stills work better - the video goes by too fast I think.

AZ200cc · 07-17-2007, 12:10 AM

Nice big yard 8O Have You jumped the Hensim a lot though? HAs it held up? I was doing a small jump maybe four feet high and the ol gal took it in stride..I was suprised....Still no where close to being a Honda though

John22j · 07-17-2007, 12:25 AM

I've jumped it a few other times, but mainly the only time the wheels leave the ground on the Hensim is when going over drop offs on the trail. It has shown no reason for me to think it won't take the abuse, I just choose not to do it -- I get plenty of air on my KX out at the MX tracks, so no real need to push the china bike. :wink:

Should hit one my jumps out on my track. I FLY HIGH!! Its steeper than a back flip ramp. This jump done thousands of dolars worth a damage to my quad over the past couple years but only because I over shoot the landing.

ya but mine wasnt a china bike. I remember having stock shocks and over shooting the landing 2 years ago at about 50mph 3rd gear and when i landed the quad bounced back up in the air and my legs came up over my head. The lower A-arms then where bent upword. Shortly after my axle broke. Broke a yamaha rapter 660's frame on this jump in 3 spots to along with 1 front shock. bike/quad Gota be race ready for this jump.

You should throw some pics of You jumping in the Misc or ride reports section of the site...Maybe even some video..It's not Chinese related but You should be safe in the Misc section.

I dont have any pics of me hitting that jump or really hitting any jump. I used to but then the computer got a vires and every thing was earaced and i never got any pics of me riding after that. THe camera was only out their 1 time and that day one of my wheele bearings went really bad so I couldnt hit that jump because the play in the wheel would have snapped it off.

AZ200cc · 07-17-2007, 01:31 AM

I am sure You will get some more, You really should post them when You do.
