You might want to consider some sort of chest protection. If you stuff the landing and hit a little
nose-down, there's probably nothing you can do to keep from smacking your sternum into the
stem/bars.

you'll have 2 Norco Rampages after you've done it. As long as you make it, that's what counts i
guess. Good luck mate.

Make sure you chug a Mtn Dew right beforehand, or you can look even cooler by doing it mid-flight!
Hope you make it.
