And when was the last time you did a 5' drop Mael?

That is a sick looking drop though. I would like to see how smooth the landing went.

To tranny...a few days ago ...(finally getting there on the height issue )

The big jump is freaky at the bottom it looks like a shortish tranny to an immediate uphill...that would suck

Copper I was refering to the small one for sure. The big one is...big ...and really if you go by the actual landing the one I am calling 5 ft (which I do NOT mean to be as insulting as that an impressive size) is probably closer to 7 or 8.

BTW Troie did you have anything to do with that setup. That sure is an impressive dropin setup
