N.Wood Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 My biggest is pushing 34", So I'd imagine the pros are hitting 40" or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Don't bully him Nicklearse. 40" is the stuff of fantasy, I'd be surprised if Hermance could even do 30" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Are you taking the piss? Do you even have to ask? 45" is big...i guess 50-55" maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Course I'm taking the piss, even I can do 40" lol. 50" isn't bad but it's not huge, most riders I used to ride with could do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 In all seriouthness, I've done 51" so I guess its around the 58" - 60". Thats on completely flat vert walls, obviously makes it easier if its just under vert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Burrows Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hermance tapped 58" in one of Andy T's american vids, that was 4 years ago now! I'm pretty sure Hermance believed his taps weren't very good at the time because the Coust bros could go bigger... The pic below is from august 2008. That was Hermance getting in some practice after being at the gym for a few hours, and he cruised it! Not sure exactly how big it was, but I didn't think I could hook which makes it around 60+" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
