Glad you came out of that alright. That announcer was right, imagine if you weren't wearing a helmet...

Helmets save lives!!!

That was a crazy slam, bro! I'm glad to see you were okay after taking one of those to the head. I only raced BITD, but I did give the ole' 1/4 a try once... I launched about 2' over the top and about 5' out from the ramp! Needless to say, I never rode one again!
And that was an awesome TA XL, too! The kids these days have no idea! (in reference to damnfools2 statement) I mostly rode HUTCH frame and forks all throughout the 80's, but I always loved the SKYWAY TA! I mean, who didn't?!

The problem was we rode ramps with 8 foot tranny, not like the ramps today with 10 foot tranny.

Ha ha the announcer "The first fall down and go boom of the day".

The helmets back then were big and heavy.

I was wearing a Bell Moto 4, it was a dirt motorcycle helmet, so you are right it was heavy.

My Moto 4 has taken a few hits like that too! Still have it, wouldn't part with it, and yours saved your life right there dude! They were big and heavy for a reason! Glad to see you wavin' at the end - do you remember that though?! Great slam!

Thanks! I do remember waiving and I remember sliding out the air just before I crashed, but I don't remember anything else from my run.
