Sweet jump. I remember seeing you jump in Reno when you were still in highschool and I was impressed with your air awareness. Its good to see a guy with alot of talent who still knows how to have fun.

I really doubt the manufacturers would sell it to you.

We already had a great thread on here about it

Adam, were you cognisant enough during the jump to realize just how much fun you were having? It looked like a ton of fun to me. Later..........Mike

after I split my legs I was thinging, " OHH CRAP!!" and I was thinking of what might I have to do to not touch the bar. After I cleared the bar I was scared to death that I was going to rotate backwards and land on my head so I did the turn and flip. the experence is fun to watch and looks fun but I was scared to death especialy since that was a 3rd attempt

I would not suggest any one to try doing what I did .. It wasn't the safest thing to do

oh adam, so unique, so refreshing. Where would the sport be without you??

:P

you wrap poles differently, you clear bars differently, what will you do next, dress up your poles in pajamas?

hehe ;)

Don't give Adam any more ideas! He's got plenty.
