I was six years old on this drop at Santos. It was kind of scary but really fun. I'm going to do the bigger one when we go back to Florida over my spring break.

25ft lip to landing (we measured it with a tape measure), and he over jumpd it by a couple feet. I'm the photog, Mark something is the rider.

If you click on them they get a little bigger, I'm not sure how to get them big like the others.

Judging by the looks of it, it is most definately a pinkbike measurement.:monkey:

Ha, I knew that was coming, but Nah man....No pinkbike measurements here. Its exactly 18-ft from the edge of the wood to the top of the lander, so if you send it with some speed it could even be close to 20Ft, if not more

Exactly. That measurement is not the height of the drop, or the correct length because there is a gap too so you are not going straight down. Most def a pinkbike measurement. Thank you for proving my point.:clapping:

:monkeydance:Congrats on being right :monkeydance:

On a real note, how does one properly measure a drop then?

30ish foot slightly hipped stepdown from like 4 years ago, I still think it's a pretty cool shot. Except for the ugly helmet..
