I dont think anyone has done anything bigger.

I'm pretty sure Bender and Tyler Klassen are tied as far as the biggest drop goes. Not sure on that, though.

Benders was 54 ft, never landed. The jah drop.

I think around 45 ft, the big gap drop in nwd 4. Wade, bender and superT all landed it at some point.

I dont think it matters if he landed it or not, but that huge drop in Nanaimo or whatever town that was in BC was 50 feet plus. Bender tried it a few times and kept crashing.

off the subject a little bit but bender is a pretty funny characater. I road with him and Lance C in Silverton this summer. This guy smokes more weed then anyone I know. I think every run we made we went down to his car to have a safety meeting. Cool down to earth guy, so was Lance. His F1 was 37lbs and was a single speed. benders bike was 57 lbs and he was only 5'6" tall.

And some 16year old kid at RaceFace UFC last year. It's a shot from far away but you can definitely see it's the same spot. HUGE

Forgot about him. All I know, its f-ing huge and very few people tried it let alone landed. From the stories is it pretty easy, the drop runs into the jump perfectly so you barely notice...I think I would still drop a load no matter how butta it was. (not that I can drop 10 ft lets alone 45)

Ya see it all depends on how it is measured.Bender's Double Down cover(Welcome to Utah) drop is a straight wall.It is 42 feet. Tyler pulled the same drop in Union.
But if you do a step down that goes out and down the landing will be smoother-Steve Rominuk pulled that one in The Collective-Man that looks like over 50' to me! I think that's the biggest yet.
As for myself,i've pulled a 20'straight wall,and a 30'stepdown.

That step down was SIC...I think it was measure by some kids on the shore, but never cared cause no matter what the size, it was amazing.
