I retract my previous statement about the drop being measured in PB feet. That thing is legit, and to my suprise I hit it first run with even looking at it. Imagine my suprise when I found out how big it was.

how much speed did you have to carry to clear? saw some people gunning it

you need enough.....

Casing that drop is not an option... casing will KILL, Death, Die your bike....

Too Bad Pipeline was closed.... that's a good one to practice on before stepping up tot he big one...

How was that second drop right after it? The tranny on that first thing looks pretty smooth although it is massive looking. I'll find out next weekend I guess.

Nice pictures WhoRyder. Spotted you today on 23 on my way home from work. Couldn't believe the sun came out today, bummed to not have made it. Hope it stays dry tomorrow, doubt it.

congrats to diablo for building another well designed and thought out stunt.
It has a clean in run and run out and landings are super wide.
I love how it flows from upper dominion into this setup and then out to breakout/salvation.
A berm after the kicker would help you keep max speed.
It is a great combo for people to progress on but I got to say that I hope the rumor of something a bit bigger is true. I don't think the drop is much bigger than anthem but with a better in run.
If you walk to the end of the take off and check the distance you will have no hesitation on hitting this. As mentioned lot's of people hit it blind. Lot's overshot both landings. Degree of difficulty will go up a notch on a slow muddy day trying to milk speed for the drop.

The line next to it with the small drop and two steep looking tables looks sweet! Stack that up all the way down the hill with berms to break it up.

Just got a look at it today, and I'm pretty sure it's significantly larger than anthem, and phantom. It's probably the biggest drop on the mountain from takeoff to top of transition.

Took the line off to the left with the smaller drop (maybe 5 or 6 feet?) to the two tables. Those tables are VERY nice. Don't even really have to pump into them, just don't hit the brakes and you clear em very easily.
