Been out on a ride today. My mate hit a 3 1/2 foot drop that I hit about 6 months ago.
He hit it on a Orange Patriot with 7 inch of travel(I think)both ends, saddle dropped, 9 billion gears in essence(10 speed).
I hit it on a 4 inch travel singlespeed XC hardtail with my saddle fully raised.
Whos the better rider?
Me
GNAAAAAAAR!
neither
😳
reasoning Jedi?
Not trying to prove my point cos I dont have a point to it.
Definitely the other bloke.
R.lepecha - MemberWhos the better rider?
Sam Hill maybe.
The one who doesn't care
Did he tail whip or superman?
Is the MBUK forum busted again?
because you both did the same thing
+1 bregante
Bregante's hit the nail on the head.
no he did not do any tricks and ok Jedi, fair enough. despite the huge difference in bike?
God this is horrible.
Only people who are 13 will care!!
So did either of you stay on?
Doddy, he is wikid awesome sick.
is this thread for real....? 😕
i think it was you man yeah your the man wanna be freinds on face book?
Well I dont care, he probably does. He use to make excuses for not hitting it. He constantly annoys me because Im the XC'er. Whoopy do!
Ok a serious answer, not that I'm sure it should've ever been posted as a serious question. Seems like a my dad's bigger than your dad argument...
So, the serious answer, none of us can know from that info. One drop doesn't make a good rider. One/both of you might be amazing technical riders who don't like drops, doesn't make either/both good/bad riders.
Post up a video showing both of you riding various different trails with different types of riding and we'll let you know. Or even better don't!!!

How slow must you be that anyone on that bike can keep up with you a ride? Unless you're doing uplifts or something.
Ah, you see I generally reach the destination well before him and wait ages.
I actually think you are because you did it on a bike which would make it technically harder to do
You. What's my prize?
brakes - MemberI actually think you are because you did it on a bike which would make it technically harder to do
It's a little drop, it's not technically harder on either bike- the technique to land it right is the same. The results if you land it badly is where the bike would make the difference
Riding off drops doesnt take a hell of a lot of skill or a lot of bike. Which one of you is better on stuff that takes skill?
I think it's your mate as he doesn't feel get pressured into doing drops until he's ready and doesn't ride a sissy little XC bike.
Going by your logic it's actually the guy who never realised it was there, rode off it on a rigid bike and luckily landed it while he was reading the Financial Times. Don't tell me it never happened as my mate says his dad knows the guy whose spoken to a guy who heard about it.
Who can do the longest track stand?
3.5ft???!!!!
I'm surprised you're alive to tell the tale!
Seriously though, I watched a 15/16 year old kid land Peaty's Drop pretty smoothly on a HT frame that was about 3 sizes too big for him and looked like it was made in my grandad's shed.
If you have reasonable handling skills you could land 3.5ft on one of those a micro scooter things.
Horse-shit Troll.
0.5/10
HAHAHAHAHA LOLCATS

Sign up for the Singletrack Weekender and settle the question for good! Trials, downhill, cross country and pumptrack!
You should have fight to see who's the hardest, just like at school.
your mum
oh and my dad's bigger than your dad
Definitely your mum is the best.
Ah, you see I generally reach the destination well before him and wait ages.
nothing like being out riding with your mates having a laugh, fancy coming for a ride with me so you can shoot off into the distance and i'll take a different route

How did you feel when you hit that drop?
If you felt good it doesn't matter what the people on this site say.
You had fun riding a bike. END OF.
Dick measuring contests are for tossers that drive Audis. Leave that shit to them.
I've seen guys on £3 grand bikes stop to discuss an 8" drop (really). So you're both better riders FWIW.
