[jaycob533]

so what is it????

[wickedbob]

5ft something. Nobody flame this dude he is with me! Also welcome to the fora man. Love the new members. So how skilled are youa t uni?

[Jerrick]

I wont flame him. Its a simple question from a curious boy who is new. Flaming would just make you look like an idiot here.

Anyways, the highest I have done is an 8 foot wall.

Also, welcome to the forums!! Remember to search before you post a new thread, cause a good percentage of times, a thread with your question has already been asked and answered, then there is no need to make a new thread about it. And if you do not find results, you can say that in your thread and people wont bash you about it. Much....

:)

[jaycob533]

I think I have hopped off a 70 foot cliff. Maybe I was dreaming. I measured a five foot drop that I did before.

[GILD]

Hey I have been trying.
Yes, yes you have been.

Good man.

I think the highest thing I've ever hopped off was my high horse.
Oh, wait...

[mornish]

[Matt_V]

7.5'

What kind of surface did you land on?

My highest is 5.5' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1nuGFjOZgg) to concrete.

[dudewithasock]

A little over three feet.

[wickedbob]

Yes, yes you have been.

Oh, wait...

Thank you. After hearing them my entire life being screamed at me a lot of the time I just got used to them. I first picked them up around the age 3, just repeating what I heard of course. I then began swearing all the time in 5th grade, maybe I though I was cool I don't know... Now 4years later I am stuck with a bad habit that does nothing, but cause trouble for me. This is why i am trying to stop. Numerous times I have found myself in trouble at school for swearing. After all of that, they are pretty much ingrained into me. Although I am becoming more conscious of them and choosing different words.

[Keldridge]

Me... about a 2.5 foot wall is all...

My son... about a 4 foot dumpster...

Both onto pavement...

[Matt_V]

Im pretty sure that kris has done one that is close to 20'. The official guiness world record is my tomsey and is 2.5m i believe.

wow! thats nuts! :eek: is there a video of it?

[UniBrier]

The record for hopping off something has to be way over 20'. Base jumpers hop off stuff way higher than that.

[bob1993]

my highest is a little over 5 ft

[skrobo]

14 feeet down a dune, landed, but got stuck. 15 feet off the seawall (to save the condos from a hurricane or whatever) landed in sand, hopped out of the hole i made and rode away. hard ground/concrete ... 9-10 feet... i don't measure much

[skrobo]

no, yoggi did a 14 foot drop and bailed... KH attempted similiar, the highest recorded was a 12 foot drop in a guiness world record studio of sorts. i have seen KH pull off about a 12 foot drop from a rail(northshore) to angled ground. i have no idea how, but he rode it out.

[tibluni]

wasn't that lobotomizer drop KH did around 14 feet?

[Matt_V]

Kris said this in another "biggest drop" thread.
It's a bad angle to show it but the drop at the very beginning of Into the Thunder Dragon was measured with a tape measure at 14 feet. I did a drop into very soft sand in 2001 that was measured with a tape measure at 20' from takeoff to landing but was probably about 17' vertical. It was filmed for Kranked (#2 maybe, I forget) but didn't make the cut. Since then I have done way less drops, rarely these days over 5'. After a while they all feel the same. That said it is really fun to hit smaller precision drops to transitions that are hard to hit, but if you get it right, turn a drop into an easy roll out.

oh. highest to flat is 6 ft.

highest to a slope is 7.5

[isaac steiner]

haha about 4 1/2 ft. I dont like big drops really :p

[GILD]

Kris said this in another "biggest drop" thread.
He also famously said "Friends don't let friends drop to fl (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?p=176271&highlight=friends+don%27t+let+friends+drop+to+flat#post176271)at."

I still think he should make the sticker.

[UniBrier]

What's with all this unicyle drop talk? I thought this was the Parkour thread.

[surfer1024]

I've measured one 5' 9" but I have done a couple over 6 feet.

[beeper]

I remember Hopping off of the edge of my uncle's pickup truck.. not the back, but the ledge on the side. does it count if we didn't land it?

if not, the highest drop i ever landed was off of a 4' ledge at my school

[Hugo_Duguay]

To concrete, 7 feet 6 inches (Trip to Quebec City (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0PDkRZXl24)). The first try you see, I bent my own pedals, I borrowed Émile's pedals, and tried it again, got it, but bent the pedals again. I will never try drops to concrete again, I swear !

To flat (grass), 9 feet and something...It's not on the Internet yet (And will never be, I hope. It's for a DVD). My biggest we can see is in Busy Riding (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8mjvg64ycc) (My first video...Oh ! gosh, it sucked !).

Oh and I also did a 12 feet drop...to slanted sand :rolleyes:
