Best jump or best accidental jump?
The first time I got "real" air with my buggy was at a refinery near me. It was over a pile that is about 15 feet high that has a road/path plowed up it that is about 12 feet wide. Anyway, I hit the jump at about 3/4 throttle, cleared the 12 foot road/path and landed about 35 feet from the take off point. The buggy went about 15 feet above the road and missed the entire other side of the pile. So for a few seconds, it was about 25 feet off the ground. It landed with a "SLAP" and killed the engine. I thought it was dead, but it fired right up and I did it a couple more times while having my finger on the throttle a bit to keep it running during the landing.
