Massive Motocross Jump

Massive Air on the Amateur Track. 165' to quad the whole step up/step down, 120' to triple to the top of the step down. Video Features Axell Hodges, Nathan Cernicky, Kade Steele, Anthony Allen, Chris Bartley, Conner Strait, Zach Dinsdale, and Tanner Basso going massive.
For all the Amateur track questions. This is on the Amateur track. It is meant as two jumps a step up to step down. It used to be a double when it was part of the Pala Pro National track layout. Axell Hodges was the first to hit it as a triple and everyone followed suit. The triple wasn't very smooth and riskier because of the landing of the step down so they pushed it even further by quading it.

Pretty impressive if you consider that the Wright Brothers first flight was only 120 ft.

I love big jumps like this. They're MASSIVE but they're mellow so there's no real risk of getting seriously injured as long as you fully commit, you'll definitely make it over the tallest part.

[@jeremiahgazsi8579]

Commitment is indeed the key. Once you discover that, these big jumps become smooth as butter and pure fun.

I remember when motocross was more than just a series of jumps connected by straight away. Miss the old tracks.

@@larryburchfield9965 that's actually cross country. MX is closed course competition. I only transitioned mx to cross country when my throttle stuck......

Jumps are what the spectators like. I agree. To many jumps now.

[@richardsmith6995]

@@ogarnogin5160 I've been to three different tracks where people were going AROUND the SX sections. 98% of the riders didn't like the additions, preferred the more natural terrain. Jumps were primarily to slow the bikes a bit. Look at early superbowl of mx footage. Insanely fast on the tracks. Jumping is boring to watch. I'll take a nice outdoor natural track.

[@jeremiahgazsi8579]

I used to look at these jumps in awe too, but then I discovered the only real trick is commitment - you *must* hit the jump with proper energy, too much is better than too little. Now I feel like maintaining powerband through a 180 degree turn through loose dirt is the real skill. Or maybe whoops? But busting huge air on a dirtbike is pure joy!

[@Tonygrum]

Sick jump! I love those 4stroke rattling at rev limiter! One thing I really love is how you (in the US) build jumps and tracks...I'd prefere this kind of jump-long & high but built thinking about safety-rather than some our tracks in Europe in which you'll find vertical ramps and short landings...it's dangerous and not really funny if you miss the right speed...God bless MX riders!

[@MRGOAT289]

that jump is sick

[@IPlatinums]

They aren't seat bouncing it called pre-load, their putting weight on the back shock so it compresses and at the end of the lip it rebounds out pushing them farther..

[@MLGtroll365]

I thought it was front and back shocks for preload. And seatbounce is just rear shocks only..

[@IPlatinums]

TrollMaster300 Nope wrong, you can Pre load with the front shocks not even moving. Seat bouncing is literally bouncing on the seat...

[@stairman5555]

Cameron Gillott seat bounce is just a lazy preload but preload none the less...I agree with cameron...bouncing on the seat as you say sounds like you have been a bad boy....

[@IPlatinums]

stairman5555 lol

[@zPrideful]

That's literally what a seat bounce is, they arent seat bouncing because when you stand up it throws the bike forward. This jump is to fast to be doing shit like that, so they jump down on the pegs and compress the shocks. Well that's a lazy way of explaining it but anyone that's road for awhile gets what I meant.

[@Jorgem1010]

Question. Can you do this jump with stock suspension?

[@anthonyallen3199]

Yes

[@Tonygrum]

I live in Italy so I don't know the situation in UK...but sometimes tracks here are boring,short (we don't have a lot of space),dangerous or tremendously bad built! Anyway we try to keep our throttle wide open! :-)))

@D fitz No, I ride here at least twice a week, and while I can admit I haven't had the balls to hit it yet, I've talked to several people who have. It's for sure going to be 5th on a 250f, I've heard almost tapped and someone strait up said 5th wide open. The problem is its hard as fuck to get your momentum up enough with the short run at it on a 250f.

I think he was probably implying that motocross has traditionally been muddy, rutted, bumpy, without huge jumps, and he think this is more like supercross.

[@errorextiago]

It should be on AMA motocross of 2013!!!

[@Mxracer6y]

Yea, its technically a big jump..... but its a SAFE jump. Meaning, it might be scary looking in distance.... but there is not a whole lot that is going to go wrong if you come up short...(ie. you cant really case it...) in fact A LOT of guys were coming up short in this video... and not a whole lot is going to go wrong if you over jump it...

[@stairman5555]

agree..safe as it gets...What's good about it you can learn slowly and not have to clear the whole thing and still live...you come up short on true 165 double your life will never be the same...injury for life or death...So in real life I call it doable...Agree also most aren't clearing the whole thing...So only the guys with super speed are clearing it and landing softly so still hard to get full 165..

[@mrbillnot]

Safe is relative. There is nothing safe about any double that requires that much speed to clear. The landing might not look that steep, but come up short going that fast and you are in serious trouble.

[@stairman5555]

bill wilson yes i agree high speed landings always shrink the nads....u miss my point...A true 165 gap may never be a real for average rider due to one shot deal make it or die but on this jump u can start slow....40ft...60ft...80...100..as long as u dont come in front low and do over the bars move all other landings are RELATIVELY safe ending in a little bounce or two...In other words DOABLE...

[@freeknet2000]

bill wilson it's not a double, it's 2 doubles :)
