I think Flipper has seen the dark side of someone who portrays himself as a christian and role model. I don't think Mr. Gimmick has much respect for anyone, so that disturbs people who try and help him. And yes, I agree, he is all gimmick. If he was serious about the sport of jumping he would be more supportive to the sport overall instead of making stupid comments about other jumpers who out shine him. He could even spin it to where he could be a spokesman for the sport but I think jealousy gets in his way. As for being a record holder, I'm sure when he was younger he was a force to be reckoned with but now I think him just showing up for these jumps is a record...lol.

: Ryan Capes has been at Toe's MX Park in
: Washington gappin' gargantuan again. He's up
: there with the Monster Energy people (a
: great bunch of folks). Today the wind was
: blowing and Ryan is facing some issues in
: working toward 400 feet, so he was only able
: to break off a couple of jumps.
:
: He said the first jump was a 280 foot ramp
: gap with a total jump distance of 321 feet.
:
: The 2nd jump was a 300 foot ramp gap with a
: reported 352'8" of total jump distance.
:
: Tomorrow Capes will stretch the ramp gap to
: 320 and go from there.
:
: If you're anywhere near there, you would be
: a blithering poltroon to miss it. Quit your
: job, hitchhike from the east coast, tell
: your significant lover you're outta here and
: you'll be back in a few days, I don't care
: what the consequences are.
:
: When guys like these guys jump farther than
: a football field, it's a spectacle to
: behold. Your story of the jump will lay
: waste to other stories you might have told
: about your sweetheart, or your lousy job, or
: the stories about how you stayed in your
: comfort zone instead of living life a little
: bit.
:
: Better yet, how about if you (yes you, the
: one reading this) just go out and jump
: something? Anything! A reporter doing a
: story on a jump - with no riding experience
: - got on a motorcycle and hit a little bump
: and jumped a few toys, came up short and
: almost got bucked over the bars, went into a
: tank-slapper and got the scare of his life.
: His apogee was about a foot off the ground,
: but that was the biggest air he ever copped.
: Now get out there and jump something!
: Whaddaya mean, "NO"? Okay then, go
: watch Capes jump tomorrow. If you pull an
: all-nighter, YOU KNOW you can make it! WIMP!
: Sleep in your truck. LIVE A LITTLE!
