Default My trashed Revo

If I video taped what happened you would have spent hours laughing. Let me make this quick, me + dad spend 2-3 hours building ramp:

I warmed up and tuned my revo and some friends came by. (I like showing off hint)

After a couple warm up jumps, I'm going WOT off the jump, I hit second and was SCREAMING down the street and bang, hit the jump and land right on the back of the revo. Here's pictures

Did I understand you right: WOT, in second gear, make the jump and landed on the back?
I saw some footages of the Revo and it can take a beating. I must say you are more talented than you think. JK.
Have fun fixing.
