For this video, I really wanted to see how big I could go and still land my jumps. Also, played around with some jumping variety with the accidental air to body-jar to fakie and the backwards jump. Probably my favorite session to date. Only had 1 shock pop open durring my session.
Here's the stats:
Car: Traxxas Bandit VXL
Driver: Bryndon Smith
Location: Norco Hills BMX Dirt Jumps
Camera: Daylon Smith - Canon T2i 720p at 60fps
Editing: Bryndon Smith - Final Cut Studio 7

:04 - F***ing off because I feel like it. Don't take me too seriously.
:10 - A few warm-up jumps on the smaller section. Still the airs look pretty clean.
:22 - Had to include a nice whip, cause style in the air is what it's all about.
:30 - First time trying to hit this jump, and it was a little intimidating.
:36 - Just nice, big, clean airs. Once I got these jumps dialed, they were fun. Great thing about BMX dirt jumps like this is that there are nice big landing ramps. I hate when RC cars land flat on the ground, aesthetically it interrupts the flow for me.
:55 - Cased this jump by accident, but it ended up being pretty cool because the car did a perfect 180 and rolled right into the landing ramp. I'm calling it a Body-jar to fakie, (from the skateboarding term when you air out of a halfpipe, then land slaping your tail on the coping before dropping back into the ramp)
:58 - After that, it gave me the idea to try jumping backwards. Nothing wrong with a little creativity, as long as it looks good.
1:07 - Next it was time to hit the big canyon jump. I didn't intend to try that jump, but everything else went so smooth, figured I'd give it a shot. It worked out.
1:19 - Smaller wheel buggies are actually much harder to flip, I tried to figure it out anyways, this one felt like a very natural flip without being forced around by the throttle.
