Air!!

[eggsplorer]

I got airborne for the first time in the eggsplorer yesterday. I was out taking a stroll on an oil road, when all of a sudden the road went went really steep and then came back down.
Kinda like this:
/\

but not that steep

Anyway, as I was haulin up it, I felt the back tires get of the ground and the front ones get airborne. It gave me a rush in the stomach and felt just like a roller coaster. Wow, it was amazing. Have any of you ever got air with your x's?(not saying that i will do it again for fear of damagin the eggsplorer)

ha, I did the same exact think with my 94' in 10th grade like 5 years ago. Homecomming was over and we were all leaving the dance/party, I had 5 people in my Explorer and went through a shortcut in a neighborhood to get to the hotels where the parties were at, the speed limit in the neighborhood was 35mph and I was going about 40-45mph. They had those huge speed "humps" not bumps there, and they were painted black so you couldn't see anything until you got right up to it, which doesn't help when your going 45mph . Bam! we got airborne and the truck flew and slammed down. I was like WTF was that?! No damage but we got some air with 5 people aboard.

yeah getting air is exciting . ir emember when Ryan and I were coming down red cone once we got past the majority of the trail we were just flying, both of us routinely getting four tires int he air. That kicked ass .

I used to jump rail road tracks in my 91 geo metro when I was in high school. It was the only thing fun I could do in that car, it was so fu#@ing slow. It would take me like 4 blocks just to get up to 40mph.

Related to this post, what would be something to get started in building an X to catch air? Stiffer springs? Stiffer shocks?
