    After the completion of the highjump competition (1st, 2nd and third
    places all filled), I wanted to start a second one.🙂 Yay! Another
    friendly competition to help riders push their limits and win some
    freaking pixels.

    The gap distance will be 7ft 6in.

    RULES:

    1. Can't have landed it before.
    2. Must be 7'6"/90 inches/229cm and Static. Prehops are allowed,
    forwards or sideways, but no rolling allowed. Can be seat in or seat
    out, your choice.
    3. Between two level obstacles. A few inches difference in hight will
    be acceptable, but nothing substantial.
    4. Obstacles must be at least two inches down to the ground in between.
    This is so we can see that you clearly landed the jump. Grass, lines in
    concrete, paint, etc - it's hard to tell if you landed the jump.
    Pallets are the obstacle of choice for this.
    5. Clear shot of measuring tape from one end to the other.
    6. 1st, 2nd and 3rd get following siggy tag.

    *)---'😄, 7.5ft Static Gap
    *)---'😄, 7.5ft Static Gap

    If this is too much for you, make a similar trophy for 5/6ft. Go wild.

    hey, i'll enter in this for the 90 inch. It'll give me more reason to
    ride and film. I can land like 5-6ft i think...

    I know its not substantial, but whats the limit on difference in height
    (downwards) from obstacle to obstacle?

    Holy cr#p! that's a long gap from flat to flat! Especially doing it on
    my KH 24" Muni with the heavy LM rim, but I'm in! Yesterday, I gapped a
    section that had to be at least 5 1/2, maybe 6 feet and I was going
    slightly *up* to the other side!

    It was a trench that had been carved out by recent rains. I'm going
    there again today with a group of ppl and I'll bring a measuring tape
    and video cam to document it. So..do I get a little break on the
    required distance because og my age and heavier, larger uni? Lol.:o

    No handicap terry, sorry. I've seen a good 24" rider gap gap 7ft
    consistent. While the uni may be heavier, you can lean harder (due to
    greater diaper) and so go further.

    You can always modify the siggy tag for 5 ft, 6ft, 7ft people, don't
    let me hold you back.

    Oh really, does that include 52 year olds?🙄🙄🙄
    You seemed to have conveniently left that out, even though that was part
    of my question! lol!

    Don't mean to offend, but you are an exceptionally fit 52 year old. I
    think that your standards shouldn't be set lower. In other words, I
    want you to get pushed to ride harder, not wussed out by petty
    handicaps. Like I said before, if 7.5 ft is too far, go for 6, 6.5, 7
    whatever.

    Ok I did a gap...wasn't on a trials uni-I don't have one yet. It wasn't
    on my MUni. I did it on my 36er, lol! Only 40", but it was still hard
    to get it since it's so heavy, bulky and awkward. Almost took out my
    camcorder on the second try!
