You could always look at the Airbus website, they make great landing gear.

But hey, cool drop! How about making the launch a little further back, to not land flat? That will probebly save your gear.

Hey "Dasquriel": 1999 called; they want their drop back.
Not sure what knucklehead decided it would be fun to build a "14-foot" drop to flat, but there aren't a lot of shocks in the world that are going to hold up to that kind of repeated abuse. Either brake-check so you catch the transition, skip the drop completely, or prepare to spend a lot of time off your bike while you save up dough for a new shock.

14 pinkbike feet = 6-8 real feet
I America, we also use punctuation.
PS. I'd go with an Avy.

FWIW if you pause the vid you can see that it's about 12ft or so, maybe more, so I for one wouldn't question 14. And to be fair it's not a drop to flat - he went off of it a bit fast maybe, but there's plenty of downslope to hit. In fact (again, if you pause it) he DOES catch the tail-end of the downslope, no-where near flat where he lands.
Move to freeride section.....
John's right though. no shock is meant to handle a 14foot drop to flat.
actually i paused it exactly where both my tires landed and i actually landed my front tire on the monster can that was down there so my front tire was flat and my back tire landed on the downslope about 10" higher than the front tire and i know i was going to fast but wtv i just want a shock that can handle it wats an avy
oh man im gonna sit back and watch this exciting time......
Just retreat man, your gonna get fried...

learn how to land?
Yeah most shocks would blow up on that. That was abusive, no suprise. Awful drop, how is that even fun?
Try this shock.
You suck, end of story.
/\ x2 -Edit- Dude I like totally take a tape measure with me and measure all drops and landings to flat. It was totally like 140 ft. Evel Knevel would of shat himself, no joke.
Which raises the question; is down a hill downhill?
Duh, it will "literally blow fox shock body" all day long.
11' 7" and 13/16th's of an inch at most.i heard bender doesn't even do chucks to flat anymore, you should invest in a karpiel and a super monster or something along those lines, circa 2001, it would be cooler than anything! check ebay or pinkbike.
i just made a legit suggestion, the karpiel will probably come with an avalanche or something of that nature, remember the heavier your bike, the more durable it will be, you should probably get 24'' wheels too.
I showed you a good burly shock.... You didn't even look at it.
Don't forget an Azonic Loveseat so you don't smash your bits on the top tube, during your huckgnar-hamsterpedal-trexarm drops...
MUST SPREAD REP... Buy yourself a Karpiel and you will only have to worry about blowing yourself up from now on. Especially on those heinous super gnargnar stuntastic drops.
Edit: Hamsterpedal- adj. A type of pedalling common amongst "freeriders" in which the rider hammers the pedals but fails to gain speed. See also Steve Romaniuk.
wait wait! hold the phone. That drop is 14 feet?
P.S.

MEMO: Everyone on Ridemonkey needs to quit riding bikes immediately and take up knitting. We will never be as gnargnar as DASQUIRREL. I bet the 14 yr. old girls think "Dasquirrel is so gnargnar OMG just watching that youtube vid makes me moist". True story
I can't believe I read all three pages of this nonsense. Makes me feel glad I've never typed in pinkbike.com.
^ i second...although it was a good laugh
Huckerific thread moved to super-hucktastic forum.
If you don't land like a ton of bricks, your shock will be fine. If the shock body broke, you probably had coil bind. You may want to look into that as that won't be fox's problem.

Wait, did you just say that Avys are crap? A mad-hucker-brah that doesn't know the joy of an Avalanche?
Judging by the way you type, you have also only been in grammar school for a month.
Try taking it a bit slower next time.
