I kinda figured this by your previous avatar
But I don't race motocross now. In fact, I stoppedright after this thing happened, I don't know why, just lost an interest...

LOL....yea, but only if you wanted a new one...
Yeah,I don't think I had enough money to buy a heavy bike back then, and I did not need to haul the trailer, and those bikes were a bitch to handle and heavy as hell and did not go much faster anyway...
I just did not want it, OK [8D]
And I loved my Jawa... It got stolen at the end, though...

So you pulled the front end off the ground on a cruiser doing around sixty five that only had 18 hp (bull****) and jumped a frame that was going to kill you if you hit it? (actually don't doubt that because you would hit something that took up almost a whole road and ditch) Then landed on both tires on the other side without the cruiser snapping like a twig? (bull****) A few of us were talking in the chat about this, and came to the conclusion that it was bs in general. So I chose to be the one to call you out since I hate you and all

Hmmm, OK. It would be interesting to see who are the other guys/gals, but this does not really change anything. Problem is, there were no CNN correspondent filming a footage around there, so everything just goes by my word. You either believe it or not. I tried to recall the case as precise as I could and as detailed as I could, and did my best putting it on paper.

I gave in the text all details that I could to answer your first question. I can only add, that I think the height of the frame was closer to half a foot than to foot, but I really don't remember this. AndI don't remember (and I don't think I really had enough time to watch and measure it) how much the front wheel lifted before it hit the frame. Possibly it was justenough weight transfer that allowed the wheel to go over the frame instead of getting stuck in it.

I don't understand your second question, so please translate "snapping like a twig" into less picturesque and more understandable terms, if you want it answered.
