Went to Donner Lake Tuesday where my girlfriends family has a cabin. Her brother and his friends built this ramp to jump bikes into the lake off the dock. it was fun. and yes those are "floatie noodles" duct taped to the bike so it can float. lol. My first night flash stuff so c/c if you wish im sure I can learn a lot.

these were old bikes they had laying around. not worried about getting them rusted. and if the ramp was back further i could have gotten under it. ill be involved in the design of the ramp for next summers trip, so we'll see what i can get. hopefully by then ill have a 40d as well, 6.5fps ftw!
