I think I've probably got the lowest! Although thinking about it I've done 3 footers once or twice it took me a whole afternoon to work up to them and it isn't something I'll choose to do again.

That's what I was thinking... I'd probably ride off a 2ft drop if I was egged on by a group (although I've never done it yet) - I went for 18" because that's the biggest I can honestly say I've done and stayed on with goolies intact, but I very rarely go off anything higher than a foot. It's a good job it wasn't hop height or I'd have been totally screwed - my hops are measured with feeler gauges

1,787,100 foot-year-inch-pounds. I won't drop high enough to get into the 2,000,000+ club and I hope to lose weight.

OK:
2,691,072
I forgot to mention it was foot-year-inch-pounds.
and the quoted convertion was in fact from MS to WTFS.
The only way for me to beat Harper now is to improve my drop height (not reasonable for my already battered back) or improve my weight ('working on it )

Ah. At least two perceptive people. How high can you jump? How many crankflips can you do? What's your biggest drop. How heavy is your unicycle?

Actually, I couldn't resist. The conversion factor is:

( 1 foot-year-inch-pound = 35.07 cm-year-cm-kg )

5 ft * 29 yrs * 72 in * 175 lbs = 1,827,000 ft-yr-in-lbs. Damn, you geezers have an unfair advantage! Well... I guess I can beef up in the weight dept... time to get a few cases of beer

Let's give this one a try.

8.89 cm * sz 12 * 5.5 in * 1.5 yds = 880.11 cm-sz-in-yds

Hmm... not quite as large a number. I must be doing something wrong.
