Anatomy of Flight

So it’s reported that Lou hit the jump at 25mph. You can see just how high off the ground his front wheels are in the first photo. Figure the front bumper is probably head height of the average male.

And then down it comes. It’s the second photo that blows my mind. Take a moment to look closely. The bumper is on the pavement. Look at that front tire! Look at that distortion! Now, turn your attention to the roofrack. The CB antenna is thrown forward…the ladder and the shovel are airborne! The back wheels are airborne, too!

I can only hope he had that GoPro camera running! Photos by Logan Campbell.
