SURE!!! You guys go and have all the fun while I am out of working out of town... not fair! I will go for the "oldest guy to jump the triple and triple step"... unless Mike Kelley charges it.
Keep having fun! That is what the track is for.

tried to jump the triple but came up a little short and landed hard on my rear wheel but with a little more speed and a little more pop i thing i can clear it
the triple going in to the last corner is kinda messed up but if you jump it it will be a lot faster than rollin' it

"oldest guy to jump the triple and triple step"..
Sorry Steve but that sounds like a challenge. Mike Kelly & I WILL be the oldest to jump the triple going into the first corner & if I can get my flow on in the 3rd straight, I'll do that to. Your like 3rd or 4th down the list junior.
Oh yeah, I'll make sure I have a witness too.

What ever Bruce! You have to show up at the track and ride first.... and your dreams dont count either bro'.
OK, here are the rules:
- Two legitimate witness's
- No significant wind assist (5 mph or less)
- Casing doesnt count... gotta get backside
Get to it old man,
Steve

I updated the list at the top...
Tonight was almost all the way packed. There were still a few soft spots but other than that it was great! Can't wait to clear the triple-step into turn 3 on Sat!!!

Today at Rad was beeeeeuuuteeeeefullll! Calm breezes, warm temps, couldn't ask for more!
I was just going around the track when I decided I was going to jump the triple-step-up. On my first attempt, I *tried* to get some speed around but since it was soft at the top I half-pedaled it. Staying smooth over the table, rollers, and the double I realized I had plenty of speed. Manualed the next two rollers and boosted the triple-step and landed perfectly on my back tire!!!
Later, Jordan Smith decided to hit it up as well. Com' on b, you can do it!
We'll see if more riders do it on Tuesday...

Cody: When did you do it? I know I didn't see anyone else jump the trip into the last turn on May 2nd (last Tues) nor did I hear of anyone else... I might have to see your id too. Are you old enough to jump such a jump? Geez! Seems like kids are getting crazier, younger, every year!
