high drop?

look at this review for the DM vortex muni on UDC. It says he has done a 15ft. drop. I take it that’s an exageration? 15 ft is really really high…

Did it say whether he can still walk? And did it mention his hopes for having children?

im just guessing, but you have never gone off a big drop … its not hard to miss your “jewels”

the world record is/was 12 feet, but that was onto flat ground… in the guiness studios… 15ft onto a sloped surface would probably be easier on your body than the 12 foot drop.

thats still insane … my biggest is about 9 feet into sand, and my feet slipped off the pedals

I’m just learning to jump off the kerb.:o

12 feet is the record? set buy who? I’ve done 13 ft 6 inches to flat three times on my trials uni. 15 feet is insane! but it could be done.

As far as I know KH has done 16ft onto a slope.

Where is John when you need him! :slight_smile:

The “official” guiness record was by Alex Toms, at a guiness show thing or something like that. There’s a video around here somewere.

I know Kris Holm himself has said something about him landing a 16.5 foot drop.

Wow thats insane, what was the hieght of hte drop that Kh did in U2. Ive only done about 8 to flat a while back and my knee still hurts lol. DIdnt help Iwas doing it on a sprained ankle, needless to say it wasnt a land lol

Yes and then Evan got distracted by you laying on the ground in pain then he stepped on/broke my backpack :angry: ha.

Heck yeah man that hurt so bad!!! But hey I did it again :wink:

The one in U2 I’ve heard was slightly over 9. But, it was sketchy.

Cool, still on the DX right? And the cranks are holding up good?

I think the cranks bent a little bit on that drop…the rim was a lot worse though. I think most of the damage was on the rider;)

The damage to the rider happened before the drop, And it wasn’t physical, it was mental.
