Hi there,im just wondering what is the highest drop to flat,i know danny holroyd did a 16ft drop of a wall to flat,on his red pace and cracked it bout a year ago.thanks shane.

I love the way hardly anyone has actually read your topic!

No idea what THE biggest drop is myself, but i think 19ft by ot pi is going to be it!

Hi there people,i asked what is the biggest drop to flat,not what ur biggest drop is,anyway i was just intersested,to see who has pushed it to the limit,but i think trials is not all about big drops,i think its pretty pointless its over in seconds and could cost you some new wheels or even a frame.trials is pointed towards more technical sections,but i suppose if you do a lot of comps, and you are faced with a drop,you might be stuck so its always handy to practice all round stuff really,thanks shane.

to be honest guys wats the point in doing massive drops, if you want to do all these massive drops why dont u take up base jumping, alright the odd one looks good in a video but trials riding is about technicle and looking smooth and stuff and ok if you can make a 19foot drop look smooth then do it but if you can only do 3/4 foot smooth but you can drop 13foot and it looks s*** wats the point you just going to f*** your bike.

if your going to do drop dont go no higher than 10ft because it could mess you and your bike up if it goes wrong! ohh and dont think you wont mess up while doing it cos i went to watch ot pi and cesar canas and even they went over the bars while doing a 8ft drop off !

and mine is about 9 feet

I believe the record is 23ft unofficial by some guy on an orange zero I seem to remember, was like some digger ontop of a like hill or something and he went over side. Cant remember who it was though.

I have done 10ft in pompy, nice gale force winds, was fun, will do it again I would imagine as I am now 100x better at dropping, but one theory a friend of mine had is "if you cant get up that high, why drop it?". So long as you can do around 6-8 foot you will be fine in my opinion.
