The boy asked to set up a ramp on Sunday.

| fun with plywood |
Before we knew it, we had a full scale trials throwdown goin on.
 |
| Shredder gettin after it |
After great debate, we agreed to judge the competition a coupla ways.
By raw distance.
 |
| Will the Thrill showin how it's done |
And as percentage of each jumper's bike length.
Dad wins flying away!
(for another year anyway, thank Dog.)
 |
| the current and still reigning champion! |
by the numbers- 6" ramp, measured to back tire: Dad 109" 156%; Will the Thrill 85" 155%, Shredder 75" 118%.
By calculating averages and percentages it looks like that "D" in the back could have cost you the title. I bet it was down to a couple decimal places to decide the victory. Do you get some kind of cool trophy for your win?
ReplyDeleteEdit: posted the numbers, and the numbers do not lie. Booya! Yep, my first jump was your typical warmup- testing my courage just as much as the ramp. ;-] those kids now- absolutely fearless.
ReplyDeleteoh, and my winning jump is out of the picture page right. Really! ;-]
ReplyDeleteand no-go on the trophy: Victory needs no such explanation, defeat allows none. ;-]
