Thanks guys!

The only thing that touch on the landing was the Madman Save your *** bars and they will need to be replaced now. The headers and everything else were scratch and dent free aside from the scrapes that were there from previous hits.

I run 27.5" front tires and the front AFCO DA shocks I picked up from Madman@Thunder racing earlier in the year were set tight. The shocks absorbed most of the landing.

The slow mo video doesn't allow the sound, but in the live speed version you can hear me pedaling in when on the bumper and getting back in it to ease the landing. That was all just freak luck though.

I'm still trying to get the seat cover material out of my ***. The pucker meter was pegged out. I wish I would have had Tony's in car cam with me

I told sheila last night I remember when ours did the exact same thing. Broke the rack, k-member, block and bellhousing. Count your lucky stars you are not in the same boat. NICE WHEEL STAND.

Amber

PS: That is why we went with the Madman Wheelie bars. To much damage not to.

Naw the hotrod is fine. She just needs the front tightened up a bit.

I added new side pics that Mike Galjour snapped and was nice enough to share with us. She was vertical.lol.
