PJ tiene mas cojones

I saw the most gusty thing in a llllllllooooonnnnnnggggggg time today. PJ and I were out at Ted Williams, a downhill and dirt jump place where we were in over our heads.

We had been playing around on the smallest stuff there and starting to feel a little sure of ourselves. Eye balling a few things we thought we could "make it."

Maybe we just really didn't know what in the heck we were talking about. PJ just up and decides to do this HUGE gap jump. On his older XC style mountain bike. In very minimal protective gear, just a xc helmet and full finger gloves.

He went for it, had the speed, had the height but the landing was just the littlest bit off. Hits the end of his bike and the dirt at a pretty good clip.

I was speechless. He totally was flying! He went from jumping about 3' in the air and about 6' out to hitting a ramp that had him 8' in the air and almost 18' out. Absolutely crazy. And beautiful for it.

I was left in awe and shaking my head. I couldn't even attempt it after watching him. And I of course forgot to hit 'record' on the camera.....

PJ, mad props to you! You earned that new pair of riding shorts!


Practice jumping on something small
The effects of hitting something too big, too soon on the wrong bike.


Me not doing anything impressive, gutsy or risky.
