96feet is a little over 29meters. So add 3 more of your 1m doubles :)

That feeling you get before you've ridden a jump line for the first time. The questions about speed in your head etc.. Then the feeling you must have had before riding that line. Blake, that is amazing man! So much respect for you and the athletes pushing this sport so far, so quickly! If only you could #bottlethefeeling

You could perhaps make a feature about the mental process of hitting big jumps or other scary stuff. The number of riders that can safely jump fest sized jumps is pretty small but literally everyone can relate to the feeling, whatever size of jump or drop is one level up for them. Should be really beneficial I reckon as not everyone has figured out the best strategy for them to deal with it (just send it/ask a friend to judge/get towed in/trust your intuition etc)..

Love this channel! Edit: Damn! This is the sickest track I've seen so far!!! Awesome!!! Keep up with the great content GMBN!!
