There the kinda jumps you'd do on a motor bike with big fat tyres and trick suspension, not a push bike cool though

I wore full body armour, full face helmet (the best money can buy) and took my life into my own hands from there.

But to be honest, after racing motocross, even that form of jump/drop is relatively small.. but just as phasing and particularly difficult to get right!
