Man, did you see years ago when the trikes were making the comeback and that dude on the ATC-250R hit the skyshot? It HAD to be altered. It defied physics, there's no way that dude got that much air. The sheer drag created by his giant set of balls would have prevented that kind of air.
Depending on the year, that maniac on a 250R might have been my father. I started on 3 wheelers, then switched to two wheel MX as I hated quads when threewheelers went away.
I cleared skyshot on a 1986 KX 125 at MX Rewind this summer. instead of doubling the uphill going into the left hander before skyshot, I singled, scrubbed a bit then just RAILED the outside line. I was 4th or 5th WFO coming up the face of it "Kehin VM34 carb, blessed by Mitch Payton himself, do not fail me now and bog" granted 5th on my bike is like 4th on most others as I run 13/54 gearing because I'm very large for a 125.
