How big will you go?

[gorgonzola]

sure do

where 30" is laughable. We don't get excited until we're riding 6 feet

I'll take a clean offshore 2'-3' any time

oh I would to.....rarely see much of that outside of the cape in new england. We get some 3-5 days pretty often at Hampton, but awkward rhythm and quick wash out. If I'm jealous of Jersey for one thing and one thing only, it's the surfing. clearly better there

I've done close to 6 ft at Lynn Woods to a pretty flat/rocky landing. I'd probably do around 8 ft with a nice take off and steep/soft landing. My comfort level is around 3.5 ft for a normal drop and 2.5 ft. for a wheelie drop. Anything above that and I usually have to stop and think about it.

A few years ago we built a gapper that was about 20 out by 15 down. By the time we were done moving the ramp back by the end of the sunner it was 30 out by 20 down to the top of the landing and we were clearing that significantly. On hard tails. It was sweet. It's in Chain Reaction 4 if anyone has a copy of that flick. I've hit drops around 10-12 on fully rigid bike. These days I feel good about 10 plus footers to good landings and would go bigger if it was a well concieved feature. Not a real big difference between a 3 footer to flat and a 10 footer to tranny. You're in the air about .5 seconds longer and it can be a hell of a lot smoother then 3 feet to flat. IMO

That's gotta be 6+, right? Given that landing, I might actually try that...

Maybe 6'? Can't recall.
Very nice landing and if you freak out on the edge, I think many people just roll it. For some reason rolling it seemed scarier than dropping it.

Go, Trumbull is a blast... you should know... growing up there and all

I used to sport my mullet as I rode my dirt bike through that valley. :lol: Also spent a lot of time fishing in there.

In this case I think it would worthless with pics. Well, OK, I guess it would be funny...

 

[2knees]

Ha! Too funny. You on a FS with 5 or 6"+ of travel would be a scary combination... :lol:

 

[tequiladoug]

My guess is 6 or 7 ft?

I think this one was around 5 or 6ft?

 

[bvibert]

3" (yes that's " as in inches )

So far this season I haven't felt the need to let me wheels leave the ground, well maybe once. I hope to go a little bigger than last year though.

I'm good for about a foot. I feel no reason to push it any further than that. There's absolutely no reason to take any unnecessary chances that could result in an injury that could affect ski season.

Sure, there is. It's fun! :dunce: I'm kinda with ya though. I go small.
