    Drops to flat are stupid. Why would you do that?

    because it was there and i could.


    plus it was out of the wind and there was a yeti to play with!

    That's with my mountain biker hat on. Drops to a slope are no problem, great fun. Drops to flat break stuff.

    Not if you use the correct technique...

    i did for once, i rode down a 100ft cliff. i have a vid but the quality is rubbish. i am doing it again tommorow so i will get a better vid from the bottom of the shoot. the video doesnt quite show how steep it is. i will get anopther vid tommorow showing how steep it is.

    That's steep, but not exactly a cliff.
    This is more like a cliff:

    hahaha ok then. point taken. the images dont quite sum it up. its more of a shoot. its about 100 ft though in real life and its sliipy because of the leaves but hey its fun.... we had a lot of people asking what we were doing :lol::lol::lol:

    Yeah looks good. What speed do you think you were hitting?

    not that fast, i was going faster yesterday, i was under pressure today from people watching. my mate who was filming was stood on the other side of a fence which guards a 150ft shear drop. i had a couple of people say before i did it what would happen if you hit the fence. that was a bit off putting. :lol::lol:

    Why not build a kicker over the fence? Would make a sweet ''little'' drop :lol:
