I may not be qualified to be sure but, looks like certain death to a poor set of square tapers.
i’d say eventually that’d kill some square tapers. and by eventually i mean in not that long. Good technique would help, as would a soft landing. if you’re gonna be repeatedly doing that(and bigger) get some splines.
Don´t worry! Be happy.
looks fun and unsafe which adds to the excitement keep it up:D
Great pics. Splines would be nice, but depending on how much you weigh, they mike make it a while. keep up the good work!
Great photos and a great structure! Where is it? In your backyard or out in a forest somewhere? Or both?

its in a field next to my house. i have landed it once out of 50 times and thought i might find it easier on my 24. it might just be that after the first time i landed it i ruined the landing ramp so its landing on flatter ground.
I know this has nothing to do with Fred A Arnoldson Esq drop but i whant to show you guys a drop we came by when doin a muni ride in the north shore
so, didja land it?
hahahahahahhahaha yeah right that like peaking at 18 feet there is a reason why it is called the riduculator
oh god that’s scary…
seriously though…when I saw th epicture I felt my heart clench.
One voice is telling me: Dude…you would so try that…!
and another voice is saying: don’t be stupid you’ll kill yourself. noquestions asked.
The first voice then says:well, if someone build it then it must be doable right? An in any event…you coul always bail in mid-air.
SEE?! that’s why I don’t think I’ll live past my twenties!
Didn’t KH land that drop?
I am not sure but, he has done drops that size
Really… 18+ feet?
damn that’s impressive.
God…the irony is so thick I could slice it with a knife
