"Crazy"? Haha you must mean win the whole thing in all categories in my 36er! lol not likely, but I have landed a 4 footer on my 36er, so I'll go for a bit higher. Can anyone show me a video of *anyone* landing a higher coker drop than me? I'd love to see it!

ehh i dony know, ive seen u jump like 12 stairs before so i dont think so, but if you can do a 12ft drop then go ahead, but by drop i mean,..................... eh i dont know wat i mean, i kinda want to say no, but i want some other peoples opionion on it.

O i got it, No, unless there is like a 12ft (say ur jumping 12 stairs) drop from where your jumping from and where your landing.

What he means is if each stair is 20cm high then he would times the number of stairs by 20 to get his height. There is no reason why he shouldn't be allowed to do that.

You'd be better off just doing a drop than jumping stairs though coz then you wouldn't need to worry about the distance or falling down the stairs.

I do 9' in this video. I can't find the exact time because I have to turn off my comp because of an electric storm... but it's there.

Haha ok. I've see that video before-the one you linked to above. Pretty freakin' awesome! looks so intense! The big drop you landed was at about :46. Did you ever meausure that? I did look huge!

Goats_On_Unicycles · 2008-06-01, 11:25 PM

Phil_on_uni · 2008-06-01, 11:31 PM

I'll try anything twice!

MuniAddict · 2008-06-01, 11:33 PM

I think maybe we should have a separate category for rolling, like off a stair set, and static. There is a decided advantage in doing a rolling hop down something, as you have lots of extra forward momentum to help you roll out and distribute the impact.

For a static drop, while you can jump outward to increase momentum for the drop, it can't compare to doing the same drop with a sufficient run up for a rolling hop down. Just a thought.

aslong as he measures it from where he starts his jump and where he lands it then its all good

Jerrick · 2008-06-02, 02:32 AM
