largest drop

[Freride_Pyro]

any one know what the record for largest drop to flat on a hardtail is?

[Matt D]

I think it's about a 1 ft below who-the-F-cares.

[CHOP]

:D

[phillyvanilly]

I gotta agree with Matt D, but I beleive its 14 feet by christiano santos at the 2001 mammoth trials competition. Some retard on a 45 pound Le Toy has probably done bigger.

Ummm, I think freride pyro cares. I know in Jib one of the flow riders accidently did a 16 foot to flat drop when the tranny broke during a flow show. His feet slipped off the pedals though.

i did 42ft to flat once.

you know, If i were new to this forum and you people responded to me that way i'd say F this and go somewhere else. It never hurts to get more people on the VA board!!!! go be mean in the lounge or something :p

That's not very nice!

For the record Pyro, this board is so full of sarcasm just always remember not to take things personnaly. ;)

Pyro, the biggest HT i've seen in video was about a 30 feet. then people posted it on ridemonkey and a 40 page debate about how to calculate drop height started, so i've always left it at 30 feet in my mind. :D

Drops on hardtails hurt my ankles and wrists and neck. So i sold mine. :p Now i want it back

Christian -

This women has you all beat, 33,330 feet:

Highest fall survived without parachute

Who: Vesna Vulovic
When: January 26th, 1972
Where: Somewhere over the Czech Republic
What: 33,330 ft.

Vesna Vulovic, a flight attendant from Yugoslavia, survived a fall from 10,160 m. (33,330 ft.) when the DC-9 in which she was traveling blew up over Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic), on January 26, 1972. No other passengers survived. It is believed the plane crashed after the detonation of a bomb planted by Croatian terrorists in the forward cargo hold. Vesna Vulovic fell 10,160 m. (33,330 ft.) - breaking both legs and becoming paralyzed from the waist down.

"I was so lucky to have survived! I hit the earth – not the trees, not the snow, but the frozen ground." Strangely, the first words she uttered, "Can I have a cigarette," were in English!

you're not the first to ask this question:

there used to be an ot pi page that claimed he posessed the record, but i can't find it any more.

suffice to say it's something around 15 ft. which is nutty.

here's an italian rider doing a 4m drop on a game show/guiness world record show: http://www.biketrial.it/guinness.htm
