Sam, is this the same jersey barriers downtown? The ones you like? It looks like it, but it sorta looks like they go on longer and are farther away from that bridge...

Is there a small ramp hidden in the shadows somewhere, or how the hell does he get all the way up there?

'cause dudes like Homan only need a bank the size of a curb to pop like 4 ft. into a flatty
Its much easier to pop way up with little tires pumped up like crazy. I was hopin up the stairs into my house (5set) yesterday and tryin to learn to use the bottem stair to kick the tire up. Still crazy no matter what, i think he might kinda came into a wallride on that?
There is a tiny bank infront of all those jersey barriers. that one block is pushed right up to it so there is 8-12" of tranny into the "tranny" of the jersey barrier. I suspect he is airing out of it and landing flat, but he may be coming into the tranny as well.
Nuts...

Is my brain just not working in thinking at that looks like that lot goes on a lot longer than I remember it?
Maybe it's the camera angle or something...

I think it's the fish eye lense that is making look so much bigger.

Thankyou.

I agree... That issue has a sort of VanHoman's greatest hits pictorial. that roughly 20 stair rail manual in philly, the barspin bunnyhop over a rail from a small wedge, the tailwhip over the snakerun at Kona from road fools. They are all on one page, seeing them all together makes it even worse.
We happened across the huge rail he icepicks in criminal mischief - it's at UPenn or something like that. We stopped 'cause it was in the shade, after like 5 minutes I looked over and I was like... "OH SHIT."...I was sitting right where they had filmed it from, and it looked so much bigger/crazier in person. Seriously like 30-40ft of railing at a fairly shallow angle.
