    I figure... a picture is worth a thousand words. And no, the spring didn't come off like that, just had it like that for now. Keepers and spring are fine, whew... The shaft is snapped, glued back on to try and save the bottom mount, no-go. It's destroyed. Now, I finally got unlazy...

    Jumping my savage!

    The jump looked SO great, until I hit it the first few times. It was like hitting a sponge. It was really a pile of almost mud? LOL It was fun, the first couple jumps kept it solid enough to get a little air off of. If it was hardpack, I would have launched three times as far. You'll...
