Bad ass.
That's the first I've seen the front side of that...I didn't know there was a big kicker into it!
That makes it MORE BADASS!

And Deano was doing this too, on a 250f? That's MOST BADASS!

Def some gnar-gnar there. Gotta wonder about the risk / reward ratio.

Was that from practice or one of the motos?

Damn! My brain can only fathom one line: Roll it and roost the guy behind you.

These men and machines today blow my mind.

Amazing how he is able to get that much lift, after losing momentum on the bump before. Crazy shit.

Speed's 2nd moto coverage showed Millsaps do it a few times also. Awesome.

Millsaps found a kicker that send him a lot lower. He'd just scim across the top of the wall. It was really fast since he stayed so low.

That dude shocked me. He was pushing hard to the very end.

Millsaps was jumping the roller at the bottom of it and hitting the top of the wall then bouncing over it. Looked like death waiting to happen but he did it every lap without fail. In the 450 practice a few guys were launching it into the first whoop. On the fence in person, the gap between the first two whoops looked gnarlier than in any of the photos I've seen. Literally bottoming out in between two whoops. Lots of crossbar pad smacks going on. Even crazier was when the 250's came out for practice there were a shitload of guys launching it trying to keep the momentum flowing. Lots of fails going on including little Stewart casing the first whoop so hard I can't see how he didn't break a wrist. One 250 made a brutal flat land right in the middle of the first two whoops. Looked nasty.

There was a guy doing that each lap last year, cleared that big roller each time completely.

I know. I was referring to Scottie's post about Wilson jumping over the wall.

In the 2nd 450 practice, no one was doing it so I had not seen it, then all the sudden I hear "BRWAAAAAAAAA" in the air, big ass panic rev, and it's Chad, and he landed just barely past casing it. The crowd there went nuts.
It's creepy that that section is right next to the Miller Family Cemetary

Normal people would look at the kicker before the wall for about 8 milliseconds and say, "No way you can jump into the rockers" and never even think about it again. These guys ain't normal.

Kind of like Newmann said, the vid doesn't do this justice. It was sick.

Damn that takes some balls to hit and just guess how far you should be jumping. Major kudos to everyone who attempted it.

Pourcel did it a few years ago too. 09 I think. The wall was shorter but the kicker before it was also. Just like yesterday there was a rut on the frontside/top/backside and he was literally jumping through the rut (about half a foot wide) and never touching the wall. No where else was it possible but through the rut due to the mellowness of the kicker before it. Total commitment before he ever got close to it due to the speed. Did it once or twice and built up a nice lead then almost ate shit one lap and never tried it again. The way he was threading the needle through that rut was pure brilliance.
