  • Was excited to jump on this trip last minute. Mayo made arrangements to have Alafia local Dustin tow the boys in over the swamp gap. It's a massive gap of about 30 feet. Kody couldn't wait and decided to just go for it without the tow. Things didn't quite work out as planned.

    Holy Turd! Like...I felt that! I seriously was holding my breath after that crash! I am relieved to see that he was okay...but damn! That is like....a serious jump!

      Its definitely a no joke jump. This is far beyond my mountain biking capabilities. Great to watch though. Thanks for tuning in.

    I see a bunch of new stuff at Alafia since we visited last year, most above my level but the berm looks fun, nice riding.

      Thanks bud! Yea, the gap is passed my riding level. But the berm and jump are right there where my skills end. Thanks for checking out my channel.

      He was ok. Well the next day. That day he felt like garbage. Luckily nothing broke and his bike was even fine. The next day he rode motorcross.
      You should dude. Come on down and we'll hit some sweet trails. 😀

      Yea, it's epic. I didn't hit. I knew it wasn't for me. Its ony for the top few pro's. Th e run up speed you need plus the gap size pushes me to "nope". Hahaha.

      The locals said it was one of the busiest days they have seen. I can jump but gaps are a no go for me. I'd rather watch. I am surprised they all went for it even though the first run went so bad.

    I don’t know man. I have broken bones from motorcycle accidents. Plus I’m in my 40’s so I’m like....is it worth it? If I had only started mountain biking earlier in life but at this stage, I don’t think I can ever make that jump. My luck, I land right on a gator!
