Believe your right.That's just nuts,there is no way i could even imagine. 10 foot is the biggest i have ever gone and the pucker factor was huge

McT · Nov 23, 2004

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

well, its either gonna be the asx or the bullit unless one of the people on here has a v10 they can let go of for cheap. i htink i'll be able to score a new frame on the money that i will have available. just hope i make the right decision im gonna be going from 3 bikes to 1.

thats just cause VV bunny hopped before he went off and when the pics were taken they were taken from below him so it automaticaly made it look bigger

Of course I'm biased,but have you considered a gemini? mine is a full on dh build and it's still only 37lbs.

yeah those photographers and their fancy tricks

Roasted · Nov 23, 2004

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 am not so concerned about weight really, i just want beefcake. i seriously will not be able to build another bike for a long time. plus i have just never been a big fan of c'dale. I bet your bike is fast as hell though

that is way to big for me

I hear that!!!! Damn 10' is way too big for me.

DownhillnDunkey · Dec 8, 2004

I think i've done a 10 ft have i jim>? how high was the 11 stair and how high was the one drop by the bleachers?

biggins · Dec 9, 2004

i have dropped about 15 or 16 feet on a stair gap before. thats about as big as i have been

BurlyShirley · Dec 9, 2004

No matter what Biggins says, I have dropped exactly one foot higher than him.

biggins · Dec 9, 2004

hahahahaha.

Roasted · Dec 9, 2004

Is this accumulative or singular?

smedford · Dec 9, 2004

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.

Roasted · Dec 9, 2004

KAmloops or kelowna (similar desert like conditions). I always mix the two up...

BTW nanaimo is on an island

dirtyj · Dec 9, 2004

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

Kiltim · Dec 9, 2004

from what i know, it was about 50 feet...but he never landed it. 5 attempts in 2 years, first attempt landed him in the hospital. im sure he'll try again

neaky:

Wumpus · Dec 9, 2004

So how far do you think that drop was that Bender bailed on at the Rampage?

JRB · Dec 9, 2004

How big a drop did you do at Starbuck's, biggins???

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)

it was an impressive drop, it was actually large enough make a "dry tip"

JRB · Dec 9, 2004

It's always impressive to create an iceberg. :thumb:

good job

leprechaun · Dec 9, 2004

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.

Roasted · Dec 9, 2004

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.
