Si as I understand it, they are always measured in feet.

Is it vertical height, lip of feature to it's base or lip to landing?

th bs scale of rad to the sic -double it and then add some …unless you are actually rad in which case the truth ..
verical to bottom not the landing I assume

Lip to where you landed + 1 to 2 ft every time you retell the story.

Lip to landing, then multiply by 3 too convert to pinkbike feet.

lip to minimum landing point. if you over shoot its lack of judgement

You have to use points of reference.
Basically, a standard bike is about 8 feet high when lent against the drop, a man wearing a helmet is about 12ft high, any light under the wheels in a photo has to be at least 1 foot (physics – to do with the wavelength of light or something), and the absolute minimum any drop can be (regardless of how small it looks) is always 2 feet if you can do an x-up off it…..

i use jedi's method, but multiplied by the biggest fish you've ever caught, to the power of the number of beers drunk that night

I use from the top of my head.

to give a more serious answer, drops are normally measured in height, jumps in length. step downs (jumps which drop) are normally in the length catagory as well

"look at that sweet 6' drop" = lip to landing of the drop is 6' down. you'll probably be doing 8' in the air, unless you're super accurate, but you don't measure that.

"look at that sweet 6' double" – lip to landing is 6' along
