Show me some pictures of you doing some big drops offs..

or for that matter any dropoffs

or jumps….

prize for the biggest…

Apologies for lazy link, working away and only have my phone for tinternet https://www.rootsandrain.com/photos/542423

sorry, my mate isn’t very good with a camera and managed to cut me out of the shot, but i managed to drop this massive kerb (at least 3″ tall!)

😉

Hardtail hero.

Doing it slowly is more scary – hoppity-hoppity-droppity!

I’ll bite!

As big as it gets for me (landed about half-way down – not my bike)

Jumps[/url] by oxym0r0n[/url], on Flickr

BITD, bit of a hollywood drop, right in front of the restaurant! softer landing than any of the others so far, though…

Hucks away!

Les Gets kona bike park circa 2008

I remember that drop in Les Gets…I ran up to it a few times but bottled it. I couldn’t get my head around the run up because as you rode up the ladder to get to it, you could see the landing etc just the other side of the valley.

It’s a lot bigger than that pic seems to make it look!

Stevede that drop is big and scary on super tavi and you also seem to have left your full suss at home
Pure madness plus steel ball bag – props Sir

Ha ha cheers frogleek, it’s not too bad on the hardtail to be honest, I reckon the first gap is technically more difficult.

One of our guys had a helicopter ride and a few weeks in hospital after getting the hut jump wrong. 🙁

Me, circa 1999, Buckland Rings in Lymington, riding an Orange Mr O.

My friend broke his femur riding this a few weeks later.

33 foot gap – great fun!

Went to Pila for the day, was awesome, didn’t realise what I had been dropping off until we stopped and looked back! It still gets my heart pounding just watching.
Drop off & trees
Whole video

This was pretty hardcore

One day Jedi training! Couldn’t (or wouldn’t) have even attempted something like this beforehand. Going back in April – can’t wait!!

Nah – about the same as the Les Gets one further up the page.

Glc drop Whistler 05

Buckland Rings is my old stomping ground!

I remember Steve Geall (sp?) riding both Oranges and a Spooky IIRC on those trails.

All the local kids (probably myself included) were gobsmacked at a “celebrity” from the pages of MBUK gracing our jumps… ha ha

For that gap in your picture, you needed to straight-line down the side of the quarry?

Xiphon – that’s the one. You had to drop straight in from the top to clear that gap.

Was quite fun riding with Geally and some of his chums – I learned a lot from him. I remember when Steve got married – we were all mucking about at Buckland on the bikes the day before when Steve Peat just turned up and started riding.

I had the offer of a factory ride with Spooky, but it was the summer before I joined the Army so didn’t work out…

Euanc, road gap at Inners?

nice one nik 😀

im pants at drop offs, I can ride them but never quite mange to ‘send it’

cwmcarn freeride drops, before litigating muppets had them removed

stevede – that drop at Gawton – on a hardtail. You idiot. Did you survive?
(fair play if you did sir!)

Basically a big kerb compared to some of the above, not got pics of anything bigger (not that I’ve done much bigger)

not big but its the first pic i found 🙂

This thread just reminds me i can’t ride for s**t……. 😉

This is from BUCS ’11 at Moelfre Hall. Resulted in one of the bigger offs I’ve had.

This is somehow the biggest jump I have a picture of me doing. Can’t even get a decent frame grab from a video because they are all POV.

Revolution Bike Park

looks big but do-able george, what is that height wise? ~4′ from woodwork to grass but 6-7′ to where your rear tyre landed?

Fairly big

Probably, yeah, think I made it about five feet from top of drop straight down, with the transition adding a bit, but it’s a nice smooth landing, the tricky bit is making sure you don’t overshoot it and land to flat – I was chatting with a bloke on the uplift who’d done exactly that and had the bruised to prove it.

That photo perfectly captures the moment when you realise it’s all going wrong, look like it was painful!
