Default and we have lift off.....

so last night i went driving w/ a friend of mine. just cruzin the back rounds out by my house here. came up to these rail road tracks that have a pretty sweet 'ramp' up to em w/ a lil bit of a turn after it. well i wanted to impress my friend so i was goin bout 50/55 (speed limit 45mph) and just as i'm goin up the 'ramp' i nail the gas and..... whaaaa i completely jumped the tracks and got a good amount of air lol. the blazer took it good and it was soooo cool. dont know if i would do it on a reg basis tho lol. no worries suspension is still all good. but wow it was sooo cool gettin air in the blazer lol

Don't make him do it again, he might tear something up!

I remember seeing a video online on an Integra forum of a kid jumping his Integra much like you said, probably more like 75mph though and his friend was videotaping from the side. Anyways the kid rolled his car and died, all on tape. Don't do it again I believe you! lol

You sure it was air, or just complete suspension lift?

Even at 30 MPH it's possible to go over a slight hump at a set of tracks and not feel the rails underneath.

this isnt ur ordinary rail road crossing. if u were to measure from the peak of the rail road tracks to the level road it would be about 1.5 ft to 2 ft or so height. i was positive i got air because the engine rev'ed and i felt the landing impact. i will be getting pic's of the rail road crossing hopefully this week sometime. (i dont have a dig camera so i have to borrow my friends.)
