Back to Pamona to see De Wayne Jones for more power. Thanks once again Dewayne for checkin everything out.

Practicing yesterday morning. It was perfect. Blue skies, clouds, no wind. Hit the ramp 5 times. The ramp was set at 250 feet to the down side. First run went well landing on the  top rolling down side.  All jumps went well hitting the ramp at  about 70 mph. Had a quick gear change for more speed and a quick change to the ramp. Now ready for the next attempts. Landing smoothly on the down side. With 75,76, and 79 mph touching down smoother and softer with every run.


Now in progress; moving ramp back for distance record!

Still getting bike together. working on going over the entire Bike. Replacing parts. Making sure it is safe. We want to make sure it can take anything that is given to it. goal is to just make sure nothing LAME happens again.  We really want this to happen and with the Bike in it's best working condition.


 Yesterday we went to De Wayne Jones (Birds Suspension Guy) Took all the suspension. He flat got on it! Replacing seals, recharging the shock, making sure everything was perfect. 


De Wayne has been Birds suspension guy forever. He has always believed in his ability to jump, anything! I'm sure he's scratched and shook his head a couple of times. But always makes it happen!


If we just had the help of one big rain cloud the dirt would be ready too.

As you know from reading, (unless you just look at the pictures) The world record is what Bird is going for. Currently at 310.     In the past  5 days we have been tractoring, watering, and setting up the ramp. We now have the ramp set up. Today we're lifting it up to height, to put him up and over the hill. We have it set up so Bird can start practicing at 250 to 270 feet hopefully this weekend. Then we will be moving the ramp back so he can go for it!!!! We'll keep you posted. And I will soon have pics of new location with ramp and landing. If you want to know anything drop us a line. We are real busy but will for sure get back to you.
