IS it bigger than THE LAROCCO's LEAP ?

Anybody know the distance ?

The height was dizzying and Mr. Cairoli's extensive and spectacular look- back during

his victorious final lap on Saturday was mesmerizing,

* Never saw any 250F's attempt it - was there any ?

I didn't see any small bore's hit it. The run up to it was partially why though, even most 450's were going way wide to line it up. We were thinking some of the bigger teams might have a 450 rider "tow" the 250f riders in to it on Sunday morning practice but never saw it. I heard 120ft but that might have been for the massive uphill table/step up in the back.

I spoke to a couple track workers and they said approx 125ft, and no 250f s were doing it they were jumping 3 and 1 Jump was bad ass , not sure how far Laroccos s leap is now?

I thought the quad looked a little longer than laroccos leap. The run up was definitely shorter. Be interesting to hear what dungey or short thought.

I rode there this weekend, they got rid of the quad and made it a triple. They left everything else the same.

In the words of one of the track builders, it was "around 130 feet" and he thinks Roczen did it.

Dungey dragging one foot back as he postions himself over the rear brake. Always looks cool!

Cairoli must've been crazy going on the inside of this. Not to start the whole thing of again but I think he would've been better of just going triple single. It didn't look hugely faster clearing the whole thing. Still, I guess he know's what he's doing. Though I'm sure I could give him one or two useful pointers....
