Ash-Kennard Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 i do drops around 4 ft but i don't really see the point in big drops they just brake your bike no they don't unless you land them like a sack of shit. when will people learn, in this instance its "break" not "brake", its so annoying.sorry to be picking on you though.mine is 11ft to gravel shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisholm Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 i've done that one in town stuart as well it's a good size drop and not the easiest with that stupid ledge thing there.i also dont see the point in big drops as there is more to trials than being able to back-hop up to an edge lower and drop offi like my technical trials the best rocks are great!!cheerschiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montyrider Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I think big drops look cool when you take a picture and the suroundings are good, i've done a 8ft off a old bus shelter to concrete, i do find though big drops can take their toll on your cranks is it jus me, lol. the shelter is at the top of a hill and my mate took the photo with a sunset aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlynnP Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 no they don't unless you land them like a sack of shit. well yes it does break ur bike even if you are careful and nto a heavy rider and or a harsh rider it puts ur bike under huge amounts of strane and espacilly the bottom bracket. i dont see the point in big drops any more because it breaks your bike and tjis can end up in breaking you cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtbjosh Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 yup, we were bored one time so we piled up pallets to 6ft, i stopped there as it starts to get too harsh over 6ft for me. and its not technical, if anything there stupid and pointless.
