    This is the most impressive jump that I have seen in a while. Going more for the the UP than the OVER.

    WWoS was hoping he'd crash so they could finally replace that old ski-jumper fall for the agony of defeat portion of the show's intro.


    BTW, if you ever read the liability agreement when valeting your car, it lets them jump a motorcycle over it. Seriously, you can hear the guy shouting hey, that's my car! in the background.

    Interesting to note that this jump was done on a Triumph. Weren't all of his later jumps (especially the unsuccessful ones) done on a much heavier Harley Davidson?
