Not sure what type of sus you have but if you can put air in do that. Umm you shouldnt fall off the pedals because your holding onto the handlebars. Explain...

Seriously. Start with something small, most bikes will bottom out on big drops, you need to make sure you have the technique and body position down before hitting something this big. I know this sounds corny, but start out by dropping curbs at different speeds, get consistant on your landing then work your way up to something that needs to be dropped but you can bail out and roll instead if needed. Then work on differemt landings, IE Drops to flat, drops into a transition, ROugh landings ETC. Your technique will also vary depending on how much speed you ave coming into the drop, Try this, Roll up to a curb into a trackstand near the edge, then pedal your way into a drop. Its actually a good skill to have on your bike, the trackstanding as well as the drop..... Ok I am rambling and drinking too much..... Hope some of this helped
check pinkbike, very talked about topic
if you can bunnyhop try prejumping into the drop, this way you will skip the whole "how do I drop" learning curve

Read these!!! I didnt have pics till now!!!
Here's a great video tutorial on how to do a road gap
Bad idea... :huh:
Disorder rip off...........Funny either way though
If you're for real, how about a pic of the drop?? a pic of your bike too would help.
AHAHAHHAAH holy crap that made my night. Did he notice how quick and tight that tranny was or no?? ahghghahagh
best youtube video ever, i make fun of that disorder scene all the time, that was rad!
Yeah I saw that whole thing play out when he did the "practice" roll up. That tranny would have worked goin 2mph and clearing a tonka road gap
Live and learn....
I don't know if the post is a joke or not but, I had a friend who bought a bike and went from dropping curbs to 6footers in one day. (without helmet)
I ended up taking him to the emergency room for 20 somthin stitches and a cracked skull. He still has the bike but, hasn't ridden it since then in 05'
