    Well done.

    I have jumped my VX twice. The landing is hard (broke my subwoofer mounts) but manageable for the passengers. I decided twice was enough as the vehicle isn't exactly built for jumping and I didn't want to break anything on my daily driver.

    that is very kewl, but......i have a couple of questions......
    1. lol who went first?? i would be scared to death. were you catching air on the first attempt? which leads me to my next question.......

    2. how fast are you going on approaching the ramp?

    3.why is there even a ramp out in the middle of a snowy field???lol did you madmen build this ramp just for this purpose?

    4 how much vodka was involved??? lol just kiddin, i think.....

    anyway, great shots guys. looks like alot of fun. but i gotta say, ill just watch from here, thank you very much.

    I did. Not catching air, just examine that ramp is strong enough to hold VX

    I had about 150 feet before the ramp, I think. Probably it was about 40-50 mph, it is hard to say now, I didn't noticed that.

    No, we are not so madmen It is motocross track with free access. You can see lot of hills on other photos.

    I was absolutely sober; Sayga was with his son (who should be driving him home), so he drank few shots of brandy (or whatever it was, I don't remember) and he told that it is excusable for him, but he'd not even thought to jump if I not did it

    I'll better watch this from the side next time too I've got lot of stuff around the front passenger seat after jump and that stuff was from my box located in the trunk (behind two row of seats!) :-)

    Actually we found good home for us on Isuzu & Opel 4x4 Club Forum (http://forum.4x4club.ru). The guys there have a big experience in maintaining their Rodeos/Amigos/Fronteras, Troopers/Montereys so they always have something to suggest during hard times.

    Uncle, was there ANY damage to your VX or the others after coming down from the jump? How did the suspension handle? All ok still?

    I am still amazed at the photos. I can't wait to see some video!
