He did not do a single A class race this year, his most recent AMA race was A.M.P where he raced 450B and schoolboy 2 (13-16) B-C-D.

If you mean he id going to be an A class rider is 2015, then i think you are correct.
When I saw him a few weeks ago he said A, I believe he's been lining up for local races in Expert/A/Pro (whatever we shall call it) for the last month or so.

I understand, I just wanted to clarify he wasn't racing B anymore. So we didn't end up with a giant "why is he B class debate". Laughing

Nope! Nope, nope, nope! And just for the record, even if it's "only" 150', the answer is still - nope! In fact, I don't even feel qualified enough to watch someone hit it.

Rookie White was always jumping stuff on 50/65's that nobody wanted to try (in his class). He has massive balls for sure. His brother, Darrell, is also super quick. No way I'd hit that. He'd need more than a 6D if he missed, tho.

Here's another view someone showed me. The margin for error on that size of a jump is beyond words, so hell no to me even considering it. I wonder how many times he's hit it.

Wonder how he did the very first attempt. Coming up short would be brutal but that table has a somewhat forgiving angle if he did. Might be ugly anyway. However with that takeoff directly after the landing, an overjump means a helicopter ride. I can't fault the guy for wanting to fly though. If the track owner doesn't like it kick his ass out, warnings aren't likely to work on adrenaline fueled teenagers. Otherwise it's on the owner to keep riders split up by ability. I don't like anything about talented riders being hit with arbitrary limits. Kid turned a big double and table into a quad, good for him.

thats my footage from the side of the track, I paced it off at 244' his Dad at 248' either way it was massive and more impressive in person! even if pacing was ÷/- 10' it was bar far the most insane i have seen. he was coming from the top and waiting till all clear, there was a small crowd gathering to watch this spectacle and at no time did he come near anyone that I could see?

Pretty funny. You pace it out, even with a 10%-20% error it's still 200 plus... people are like 150ish...

Fucking huge regardless! Pretty sure if he crashed he was planning on putting his balls down first to let them cushion the blow.

1) Perhaps not surprisingly, I wouldn't hit that. The sketchiest part for me is the double that comes immediately afterward. I don't like big jumps in the middle of a gigantic rhythm section. You guys may not have seen it, but that jump has "Big, ugly injury" written all over it.

2) I don't think it's 200' but it is definitely way over 100'. Probably more than 150.

3) Just because you can jump something that big doesn't make you an A class racer.

In the second vid posted earlier he was about half a second late on pile driving into someone who was rolling the next double. He most definitely did almost hit someone.

I don't care how impressive this seems to y'all, that is flat out bullshit stupid, for himself and those around him.

Someone else apparently saw him nearly land on a peewee.

Next time ask him how he would feel if he landed on someone and killed them? Ask the track owner how it would feel. Watching stupid shit like this makes my blood boil. Not because it's not impressive, but because every frwKing year that I've been on this forum we have some sort of event or fundraiser for a kid who's life was completely changed for the worse or ended. This sport is already dangerous enough even if you don't take unnecessary risks. Hell many guys in wheel chairs crashed on little jumps.


So why then, why one earth would you take such unnecessary risks. But you know what, I'm not even mad at the kid. He can't be more than 16 yrs old. Everyone is dumb at that age.

The ones I'm upset with are the adults who were there at the track, the parents of the other kids there, the track owner, who did t grab him by the helmet and talk some damn sense into him.

Ridiculous.
