We all remember this guy in jumping his new TRX...

[HandyCruiser]

they probably took it down to discourage "copycats" and you know god forbid you should ride a bike without a helmet

No helmet laws in Arkansas for adults. Our state is run strictly by the kind of people that don't make folks wear helmets nor are they the ones that fine people for jumping their trucks over creeks.

I think waterways are federal controlled ultimately but I could be wrong, either way anybody with half a brain can see no harm was done, I mean a natural landslide could cause more damage

Most federal regulations reference "navigable waterways". This normally means a waterway used for commercial navigation. EPA sometimes stretches this to mean smaller rivers and streams that are part of the watershed of a truly navigable waterway. The Corps uses this kind of definition as well and also regulates wetlands. But I can't see the COE wanting to get involved because this look like prior converted farmland. Do we know who the regulatory body is that is attempting this overreach?

I haven't really followed along with it much other than seeing the "viral video" and then later seeing the "viral new story", then later reading about him just deciding that it was best to pay the fine and move on, I don't recall the specific details but it appears he got the wrong peoples attention and they probably set out to make a example as sometimes happens.

Yeah it was just a viral video. No need to get into the politics of protected waterways or anything.

Probably so. I guess I need to get off my soapbox now.

Now back to the fun!

I never knew this guy had legal issues when doing this jump. I just watched it once and saw his second video about the repairs. Never knew it went farther then that.. Crazy

 

[MADDOG]

I didn't end well.

"Well, I think I sent her too fuckin' hard, boys!"

I read he also tried to get ram to warranty it or something and they said no, lol

I think that was the YouTube guy with the bright-green TRX. He got his TRX fixed under warranty the first time he screwed it up. But after jumping it, no dice.

The truck is built to Baja, but so are Baja trucks and they break too. Same idea as guys who race their cars on track days. You break it on the track there is no warranty.

Found it!

Yeah I remembered him commenting on that on one of his videos.

 

[Shaggy]

So the owner of the TRX of course posted an aftermath video and also decided put muddboggers on it.

Yeah, good suspension travel, but the weight distribution of a lawn dart so not good for big air.

You would think that the guy would have put it on a scale prior to jumping it so you would know where to add weight, that's simple enough to do, looks like he at least had the brains to pull the airbag fuse first

 

[APEX REX]

I've jumped my Raptors countless times, but never with the sole intent to destroy them. That hurts to watch.

Yup, unlike the guy who launched his raptor (90' according to the video title)

That looks painful!
