The bottom one is sweet! I don't know if it's just the angle, but that looks like a huge jump. How slick is the snow when you land on it? And how does it feel riding in all that winter gear? Do you guys do a lot of winter riding?

Yeah that jump looks massive. Im also wondering what its like to land on the snow, we made a snow jump in my backyard when it snowed (once this winter) here, but it wasnt very good. We dont get much winter riding, its 70 here everyday almost. I dug at our DIRT jumps all yesterday. I really like the last picture, and the crash picture, not enough crash pictures out there, but they are so hard to get.

Riding on snow is no prob... usually we'll spike up our tires, but for this stuff just a normal set is fine. When you land, if it's packed down enough it's a little slick, but not unlike loose dirt. As for all the gear... it makes the falls more enjoyable...and hurt less!
