was this a drop off?

So I was in my local forestry just 15 mins ago and I found a trail that had a 7-8ft sort off lip, I got up it and just went for it (my first drop-off) I rolled off and boom I was travelling really fast, Nothing bad happened and it all went smoothly. My run got stopped my a fallen tree haha. So yeah, was this a drop off?. It was fairly steep and I lent right back like you are sup-post to. I'll try to take a photo tomorrow!

ahh, It was still really steep. My dad dared me to cycle up it and I almost fell back haha but I got up
Drop off are easy enough, just manual off the lip and land both wheels together.
Nicer than landing to flat.

If in doubt, blame Wiggle.

You can land drops to flat no problem. It's surprising what a bike will take.
10 foot to flat is my biggest (I come up short for the landing on a road gap), I sprained both wrists but rode it out and the bike was fine. Up to about 5 foot to flat usually works out ok on all mountain bikes.
But each to their own abilities, and i expect to recieve some criticism for this post
Does anyone still call those steep roll-ins "chutes"? That's what I used to know them as, where as a roll-in was specifically a run up to a jump or a bowl.
I guess if the roll in had sides I'd call it a chute. If its flat it's just a roll.
And if it's not a roll, I consider it a cliff and take the chicken run, which is often a chute.

It's whatever you make of it really. I'm perfectly capable of rolling a no-option drop. Just requires an ambulance at the ready.
For example, flights of stairs have a definite name - "flight of stairs". Whether you drop off them or roll down them, they're still a "flight of stairs".
A dropoff is a mandatory drop, like you say.

You walk too much. You will go blind one day. Then you won't know where you are walking

Its ok, I always wear these:
And I don't walk that much, its just whenever you turn up I always seem to be walking or talking about walking. Its just coincidence honestly.
You're a bit like my girlfriends mother in that respect.
There is no such thing as coincidence. I do enjoy watching or reading about a good brisk walk. I am particularly looking forward to the Men's 20km Walk. Over an hour of the world's finest walking!
