That gap jump on Feed 'em to the Lions looks way bigger from the side than it does from POV. I'm allergic to gap jumps, but I'm told that the tiny gap right at the start of Ark at Ee you just need to hit at speed to clear it - is that right?
I totally hear you about being allergic to gap jumps, it feels like it wasn't long ago that I'd never want my wheels to leave the ground so jumping where there's a gap would be ridiculous however I'd say I worked through that a bit now. The jump at the start of Ark is possibly harder to crash on than to not make it, I'd still say a nice little pop and settle is nice just for the fun of it but by the time your rear wheel is leaving the jump your front wheel is pretty much over the landing. The worst things you could do on the jump or the approach is pull like crazy so you pull to the side or the old classic of pull the brakes so that you OTB or just fall off to the side. but I'd say if you just ride it nice and chill you'll be shouting with excitement of doing the gap!! Good luck and enjoy!
