NavySonicShell Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Oh, and it looks like Tom Herzog has quite a bit of work to do this week at the shop... #WorthIt It was a really good event overall. I've never seen XDP run so hard, and everyone else was just as good. No complaints. XDP won Wheelies and Long Jump, Tailgator won Racing, and I forgot which of the two won Freestyle >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Politeness Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 https://www.facebook.com/matt.stoltz.35/videos/10153559766545429/ Zane went for his first backflip attempt and it wasn't pretty. Thankfully he's okay, but the truck has a lot of damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRetroStyle Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Looks like the track crew didn't do a very good job... AGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavySonicShell Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Looks like the track crew didn't do a very good job... AGAIN. It looks like you could get a back-flip off that ramp easily, but Zane definitely did not nave the right technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Politeness Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 It looks like he didn't have enough speed because as soon as those front tires lifted from the cars the truck basically just limped to a stop, he had no momentum for the rotation at that point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavySonicShell Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Yeah, he might have been able to kind of save it by accelerating more on the ramp, but he really didn't have the momentum for it at any point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dd908 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 It looks like you could get a back-flip off that ramp easily, but Zane definitely did not nave the right technique. It wasn't anything to do with Zane, the ramp was poorly designed and constructed. The ramp was more designed to just send trucks straight in the air and for the shocks to soak up the impact. If the dirt ramp on the bottom was a tad bit shorter with a little less angle, the front shocks would have bottomed out and rebounded off the bottom or 2nd car with the rear wheels driving up all 3 cars and giving him a successful rotation. For that ramp, if Zane gave it more throttle, he would have had less backwards rotation and just would have shot straight up in the air. There was nothing Zane could do here. The only way this ramp would have worked is if you were running those front shocks extremely stiff with minimal travel, which isn't worth the hassle.

Double.D ッ Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Even with a perfect ramp, he still wouldn't have landed it with how he hit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dd908 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Even with a perfect ramp, he still wouldn't have landed it with how he hit it. With the amount of momentum he had going into it, he would have either went up and flopped over onto the hood, or did a 270 and land hard on the front and pull it back down on the tires. No matter how we look at it, it would not have ended cleanly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steiale Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I see some sort of pipe from the stacks going towards the chassis, but I see the collectors. Do both of them work or are the stacks just for show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
