A drop too high...

Look at these plonkers! [:D]

I don't think I'd laugh when I break my bottom bracket. Maybe even bottom my shocks or bend a frame? These guys must like their nuts in the throat... [:D]

To clip or not to clip, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind of men to suffer the dings and contusions of unclipp'd riding, or to bind thy feet against a sea of gnarly singletrack and by these contraptions, ride o'er them with ease. To clip... to slip no more, and by clipping to end the buttache and the thousand natural shocks that ryders are heir to; tis a consummation devoutly to be honed. No clip - to slip perchance to be thrashed most heinously...

It's a flat landing though and not on much of a slope. It looks a good 10 foot judging from the woman stud next to it and 10 foot to flat would put alot of pressure on the cranks... Still suprised though that they're destroying their BB.

Well, it doesn't make sense to me [:D]
I thought mountain biking was all about riding trails and jumping/dropping at obstacles which present themselves there. [:I]

I was thinking the exact same thing, Nick. Maybe they're using old BBs with a bit of hacksawing to get their fifteen minutes of youtube fame.

Hmm, but doesn't it put a lot of strain on the BB area of the frame, the shocks and the wheels as well (not mentioning the balls? [:D])
