very nice!
i avoided picnic tables (and anything above 2 feet) until i got something stronger than my LX (now i have a KH freeride)
anyways, if you can do that and land nice enough for it not to break, more power to ya!!!

Re: Abused Torker LX
Nice!
I’m a newbie rider & I’m wondering, how do you do that without castrating
yourself?
Can you provide me with any tips?
I just go off the the sidewalk (about 5 inches) and I have to compose myself
for about an hour!

dude, that’s LARGE
i have a fairly easy time w/ picnic tables now, but when i went 6 inches up from that, i really felt it
i’d at go in at MOST 1-foot increments both for your skill and the uni
