    Just watched Lampkin on top gear at tv centre. He appears to do a huge huck to flat from one roof to another. Editing or real. What’s realistic as a drop to flat?

    Just watching that. Is the front end of the bike MTB parts? Rear obviously different but forks and front wheel/tyre look MTB sized.

    2.75″ tyre on a 21″ rim. Standard trials wheel/tyre.

    Forks are probably Marzocchi if that’s any better?

    Its a clever camera angle, but I’d still that was massive drop.
    2 stories? 20′?

    Yep gas gas, so marzocchi forks.
    The monster it’s were reworked trials forks iirc.

    Dougie Lampkin is 12 x world champion, people can do 20ft drop on a push bike! pretty sure he can do it!
