Has anyone jumped a pier before?

Careful.... the last time someone tried to delete a topic, the thread ran ten pages long

Ready everyone?

here we go

I have.

But it was a little floating fishing pier. about 2m wide and 3foot high.

But none the less it was still a pier.... or was it a jetti?

I'm claiming the peir jump.

The rock spit bw beach 2 across to the flat side at Woodies was hero act back in the day when all kiters were gay old school exhibitionists.
Didnt see it myself but I heard tell of one those gay old-schoolers who actually did a deadman across it.
Possibly the VB man???? Anyone know.

This was also the old-school time when we didnt have a camera in our faces every minute we spent on the water. Pity about that.

i have tried our local jetty ( about 15 feet high and 40 across) i can get the height but not the distance or the distance not the height i have come to the conclusion i am a wusss and have a agina. will have to settle for mangroves

.. just make sure you can get right over it!

he was one lucky mofo...^
wondering if he tried that again? great kiter though, and I think his kite company is doing okay...

Im more interested in the ones that have tried and not made it. They're awesome

Why would you try to jump a pier?

Its like trying to stick your wang in a sleeping crocodiles mouth: you might make it out ok but if something goes wrong, your a dickless douche bag for the rest of your life!

If you get it right, people will clap.

If you get it wrong, people shake there heads and say "what an idiot" while you get to sit there in pain! No symathy for the stupid.

The risks and dangers outweigh the Glory IMO.

Disagree, i think its awesome. but.... some idiot somewhere will copy, and most likely end up with the injuries mentioned above

HEHEHE.... the man with an avatar of himself jumping a motorcross bike over rocks and logs doen't understand a kiter jumping wood and concrete. Me thinks you are enjoying a double standard!.

Personally i enjoy the challenge of jumping something. it adds a level of skill to an otherwise relatively riskless task. any old punter can boost. but timing the take off in the exact right place with the right speed to clear the object takes skill.

i'm not going to jump a massive peir because thats outside my level of acceptable risk. but i enjoy jumping smaller ones and boulders even timing a boost over monster white wash is a worthy task.

And there it is...

i once jumped an african girl

... I jumped the missus once, got a fat lip!

should have looped it
