jeez! a wooden downramp

u better hope that thing's bloody stable lol

nice tricks man

McNorman
August 7th, 2002, 02:21 AM
i never thought it before but in that light it does look wooden but its really 40mm box painted silver, there was a sunset in the backround thats what makes it look wooden. the whole ramp is on a 40ft trailer, so she's portable. i go round doing demos n stuff on it


heres one of me when i was 13 jumpin the old mans truck

aye norman where in QLD do ya live

McNorman
August 7th, 2002, 04:57 AM
The kenworth is my dads but we take it to all the demos i go to,
it tows my metal ramps.

slur- i was gonna go to that slur comp in tamworth but i heard the prizes were gonna be dodgy + i had a demo on that weekend that i got paid a $h!t load for.

jsr- i have invented a few tricks in my time.
i started doing a candy bar indian back before the
shaolin was even thought of. i never named it cause it was
a bit storchy

i started doing the holyman the day after i first saw
homan doing it. the old bit of frayed bungy rope i
was using snapped after over extending the holyman
that arvo. i tried doing the holyman with no bungee
cord (no handed supaman) after that and found it wasnt
too much harder, so that is a michael norman stunt as well.
i call it the
McNorman
jono P said a bit about it in - issue 12 april/may 02 FREERIDER

Sweet pics man, wish i could go that big;) , what does yur sig mean Ammonium nitrate + icing sugar = fun, what is it:confused:

McNorman
August 7th, 2002, 11:18 PM
Ammonium nitrate and icing sugar mixed at the right rate (50/50)
will work the same as gunpowder, wich can be alot of fun if used properly.

this photo is one of the ones i took from my
bike over an 80ft gap, there are a lot better ones
than this i took but they are all too big.

McNorman
August 7th, 2002, 11:28 PM
if anyone wants to organise a comp or a demo we can use my mobile metal up ramp and down ramp, if anyones interested give us a reply.

1-800-EATDIRT
August 7th, 2002, 11:44 PM
Sorry for the dumb questions but what do u mean used properly??? ( i know im an idiot:) )

U talked to the Kaos crew? they do demo's in QLD with their portable ramps....

dagsomdestroyer
August 7th, 2002, 11:48 PM
used with caution, probably extreme caution in that case.

1-800-EATDIRT
August 7th, 2002, 11:49 PM
LOL, nope never even hear of them.:D

McNorman
August 8th, 2002, 12:58 AM
yeh hunkin's right EXTREME CAUTION, you can put the powder in a metal casing with a det and she go boom, if you do this it isnt my responsibility if you get hurt of kill yourself though.
oh yeh make shure you are at least 1 km away when this thing goes boom.

how do you contact the kaos crew?

this photo is a kick arse mate of mine: CAMERON STURTRIDGE

McNorman
August 8th, 2002, 04:32 AM
how do you get into planet x this year?

MM2death
August 8th, 2002, 05:40 AM
Yeah the FMX Kaos team down here does demos and shows.

I remembered ya from Harvey Bay comp.....lol...those SES pants were a crack up!

potassiun nitrate+sulfur(optional) +sugar can have the same affect (75g, 50g,55g) just melt the 2 (3) ingredients in the sugar but just melt the sugar to a clear goo

slur
August 8th, 2002, 06:19 AM
hyro and sugar are the eaziest who wants to melt stuff, just shake and run

dry ice bomb:
put dry ice in sealed container and leave out in sun...BOOM

1-800-EATDIRT
August 8th, 2002, 10:53 AM
O i see, but i dont even do that kind of stuff unless i jus fell like it :D (we better keep the bomb posts to a minimum (so?) )

McNorman
August 8th, 2002, 04:08 PM
MM2 death- i think i remember you, werent you the guy who
nose dived into the back of the downramp while still
holding a fully extended supaman seatgrab? lol. $h!t that
was funny. That down ramp in the photo looks pretty
sweet, who owns that one? I got a pair of shift baggys now but
i still recon the bush fire brigade pants rock. yeeah.

Good to see i wasnt the only fmx rider out there that
is a bombfreak,put HCL in a bottle then a couple
of strips of alfoil, screw the lid on then throw it a long
way away or drop it down a hole. the smaller the bottle
the better, 600ml coke works best. the pressure from
the contents will pop the bottle.

p.s. if you dont know what hcl is you shouldnt even think about trying this at home.

1-800-EATDIRT
August 8th, 2002, 04:54 PM
LOL, Im not a bomb freak by any means but i know how to make them:rolleyes: LOL

P.S. w.t.f. is hcl, i jus use works toilet cleaner:D

McNorman
August 8th, 2002, 05:05 PM
as i said if you dont know what HCL is you probably shouldnt
be experimenting wit explosives.

Hydrochloric Acid it is i believe.

Nah i didn't ride at Harvey Bay. My mate Ray owns the mobile landing setup.....he was on the black KTM at Harvey....he wasn't used to those ramps back then....now he can ride pretty sick. Here's on old pic.

remember a lot of people talking bout "the guy on the black KTM", what place did he get in the comp?
ill check my vids of the comp and see if i can rember him.

Hey Captain Sturto.
I was harveybay when your 'rim jawer" for a muffler fell off.
Your bike is pretty damn good ain't it.
Maybe you should stop riding trashy bikes like I saw you riding in HarveyBay and start busting out a few big tricks and have your muffler actually attached to your g*** motie next time man eh'.
That Norman guy was so totaly better then you. He could whip you any day in a competition if you weren't givin the judges head so they would give a decent score.
