How high have you jumped?
 
Here's something for you guys to brag about.

How high have you jumped with your bike and made a safe landing? .. and the bike survived..
(HT and FS seperate)

how high is kinda vague.....do you mean bunny hop over something? a dirt jump (double)? a drop off?

the highest ive ever bunny hopped off was a set of 9 stairs...for a double ive probably cleared 6 ft.....

Well, I once drank 7 porters and then got on my bike and...

So what's a dirt jump (double) and a drop off?

I've jumped off a 3' bump and managed to get another 2' up from it so from 5' up in the air I had to come back down and land... bunnyhopping off of some stairs I was getting around 4'. One of the times I jumped the 3' bump I ended up landing in an endo but managed to balance enough to bring the rear wheel down (not bad from 5' up).

A 3foot drop to flat, of course the bike survived but i didnt. :) Over the handlebars!

I really have no idea, back in the days when I jumped BMX it was not rare to measure distance jumps I think the longest I can remember was like 12'. I had a friend who used to successfully jump out of 1/4 pipes with the coping being at like 10'. Whenever we tried it we broke bones, and bikes. However Parrish was a alien anyway.

I have done about 5 stair gaps so that was probably 3 or 4 feet to flat. I take two feet drops to flat but not much higher than that.

-biggest drop: hucked off a 6'+ ledge
-biggest bunnyhop: about 15" high
-biggest stairset: cleared 8 stair set (5')
-biggest distance: launched off a ramp traveling about 12' forward
-biggest gap: 4' drop/7' gap over stream

on a 4"/4" dually

My highest jump was about 11,000 feet. Yes with a safe landing and on a ht.

Didya jump outta a plane with a parachute and a bike? ;-)

Jim311 09-23-03 10:31 PM

I've probably 6+ feet to flat on a hardtail. Not very comfortable, nor good for the wheels. I've probably gotten more air, but some of the biggest jumps I've done I didn't stop to measure.. I was too busy hauling ass down the trail to care :o

Gulp! Does 9 inches qualify?:(
