Nope, that's about 1 and 1/2 hours away. Old 40 road gap. That thing is fucking kiddie pool compared to this monstrosity.

I don't see why the guardrail would come into play. Take alone this:

But I'd hit it balls out anyway.

Video is a must.

It would take a year to cut through a guard rail with that.

Now this on the other hand...

If you fail, a lot of bad things can happen:

Everyday we drove by there on the way to K-wood during the summit we talked about how sick it would be to hit that. Just guessing i would say the cliff is about 60 feet give or take. The road is going from 3 lanes to 2 almost right under the cliff (dont know how wide that would be) The landing=steep, but just below the edge of the pic is a cliff so dont go for a long tumble!
It would be so sick to see a maggion hit that thing first, even name it! So sack up, LLPH i think you should hike up there and hit it alone,(spatulas are great for booters) then post pics of your tracks. I mean you dont want to be a slut after all

Pornography without the skin is not pornographic. At least that's what I told my boss when the IT staff alerted him to the existence of my extensive xray porn collection on my computer. He saw right through it though.

Here's the only pic I could find of that one

You cant see them in the pic but jut below the visible LZ there are boulders and cliffs so you would have to stick the landing perfectly and then stop dead (no pun intended).

You guys be way radder than me so youd have to have a look but its a gnarly biatch even without the killer rocks in the run-out.

I could see about bringing the Trimble GPS and taking accurate measurements....

You have a point. In light of those teeth in that last image, might I propose NSFD (Not Safe For Dick)?

This thread is classic. Perfect for a Friday afternoon at the office.

speculate on...

With the weekend nearly on us, I expect to see some beta on this thing by monday Tahoe mags. I want lengths, heights, angles, and pics with people in them for scale. This is just too crazy.

GPS the bitch, with 4 satelites, you can get heights. Nater???

I don't think that those in charge of checking out the ProXRS's would really appreciate me taking it out for recreational purposes. They have enough problem with me taking a laptop for a weekend. They'd shit a brick with the ProXRS (and my ass would be so toast if anything happend to it. I've already been chewed out for wading in a stream with it). And, I don't know if I can get a strong WAAS signal for the other GPS units in that area. I actually could probably do better going GOGO on it. I'll see if I can get a hold of a range finder.

You'd be suprised to see how many times people actually bring calculations into gaps and hucks. I've been scoping a Jamie Pierre size cliff for a year now and talked to Chuck Patterson (One of two people to every huck the thing) and he talked about all the calculations he did to make sure he cleared the rocks below. If it's something as life-threatening as the said gap, it's good to know as much info as fucking possible.

Physics is the shit

While you guys have been plotting out your attack on a road gap a girl did on skis 2 years ago, I've been using your formulas to calculate my 'bile tow-in. I figure with the throttle gunned, I'll have enough speed to do a first ever "valley" gap, and than I'm going to steeze it out switch after banking a hard left turn upon landing. If any of you gals haven't creamed your pants by then, I'll be spinning switch-corked 10's off those little tee shots below there. You may want to handcuff your girlfriend to the bumper of your car if you don't want them to leave you after watching papa Blurred ninja-gaiden the whole thang.
