Yeah, there are a couple places to get air in Jax

Fun, but a little hard on fork seals!

That's why I got a Supermoto

Yeah. If you build a ramp.

I have some jump areas all over the place. Infact a hill about 100yards away from me is known throughout my area as being a "Jump Hill". One guy got decapitated doing it. And I've jumped out of my driveway (Infact I remember a buddy of mine on a R1 doing it).

What's fun though is hauling ass through some of my roads Isle of Man style!!!

Damn. He'd be fucked if he came up short and bottomed out.

And you would know this because you've ridden so much in Jacksonville?

There's a railroad crossing right in front of the dealership where I used to work where I've gotten air a number of times. There are also a couple of nice jumps on a route we used to ride a LOT. Now there's too much development. One was about halfway through a LONG sweeper, that usually culled out a few people.

Don't know if an R1 is really the bike to be doing that with, but taking jumps is SWEET! When you're flying through the air with about 30ft of nothing between you and the dirt, talk about adrenaline rush.
