well it had to be going over 35 mph when it hit the landing. if it would have gone like 7 inches farther before it hit the ground it would have landed perfact. the landing indowed into was rolled over so it wasnt razor back like some of my other jumps are. it was one of my jumps were the face of the landing is strait up and not packed it probly would have bent the frame and tweaked some other stuff. i dont think that the shock was bent fromt his crash. i think it was broken from jumpng as high as i was. i had the truck atleast 10 feet in the air sometimes.

Looks like an purchase of some RPM skids is in order...(among other things) 
Nice wreck...[:@]
nice track...
I wish I had some space like that so close... My neighbors would be complaining after the first 2 minutes...

i got more where that land came from too. if you look in the third pic look way back in the back see the row of trees. thats where my property stops. i also have a dirt bike track too. its 5 achres of land. its all like hard pack but when you shovel it up it turns to sand. then you have to water it and pack it a lot to get it back to hard pack. thats why some of the pics of my track it is wet b/c im trying to get the track a little more hard packed.
my nabors dont complain much. you cant see their house but its on the other side of my house. i was shooting my paintball gun once and he came over and was all freeked out and thought it was real. i didnt have paintballs in it either. i was loobing it b/c i was about to have a paintball fight with some freinds.
if you guys want you can come over to my house so we can race. i plan on building a drivers stand, putting in bariers, and setting up lights so durring the summer i can drive my truck with no worries about the heat. it get to around 110 to 115 where i live so the night time is really the only time i get to drive during the summer. i get my truck(real gmc 1500) and set it up so the lights are shining on my track. i need to get those prtable stnad lights from northern. i never thoguht aboutgh a drivers stand so im going to start building it with some wood i have lyin around.
the rpm skids wouldnt of helped in this sittuation since they go from the forward 4 bolts. my skid snaped right behind the 4 bolts for the bulkhead so the rpm skids wouldnt of worked. i plan on getting them anyways. im going to get a cheap set of aluminum bulkheads(powerline) and some rpm bulkhead stiffeners since i dont have the front diff in it the front fleexes a lot so stiffeners are a must, im going to get a aluminum skid too also powerline. i dont have the money to buy a70$ pare of bulkheads and a $35 front skid and the rpm bulkhead stiffeners so im getting the cheap stuff. also if i brake the aluminum parts i can just weld it back together. or get another cheap set. or maybe this time ill get the expensive ones that hopefully wont bend or break.
