Fantastic day. Awesome. Great enough to feel good and jump for joy.
Highway US96 was a super wide, concrete runway.
There was a stiff headwind, however. That’s why it took more then seven hours to so the distance I did.
All in all, however, a great start to the state of Texas!

You've obviously got right into the Texan 'everything is bigger here'! It's been a long time since you've posted any 'Rob doing his jumping thing' photos. Glad to see you've still got spring, sproing, sprong. How many days till your visa/visitor permit runs out?
By the time you get back to NZ you'll have sent an album full of 'jumps'. I'm not sure if you're demonstrating your fitness or skill with photography but I do enjoy these photos. I think the ones you did in Turkey have been the best so far but maybe the snowy background added to their interest.
Great to see you're in high spirits! Skating 90km in one go into a headwind is pretty impressive!
Alright Rob! Glad you are in such a good
groove. Great Photos.
We're looking forward to more.
good to see some jumping pics in there again…I was wondering if pushing the board horizontally would suck out your desire for some vert air!!!!
keep it up…peace
