This has to be the biggest drop I have ever seen done to concrete...

Bigger and smoother on Dualie

I like how he uses the stairs as a transition. So is that hucking with style?

Maelstrom 04-28-05 07:53 PM

No...he didn't tweak it out or anything. Thats just a big ass drop.

The Hardtail didnt do as big a drop as the duallie. If you look, the HT landed on the set of stairs before the last ones which the Dually landed on.

Oh, and the Dually is a Craftworks FRM125- Same as mine but a newer model :D

Ive seen a bigger concrete drop than that and it was to flat.

Ive already seen it :rolleyes:

Thats some insane riding right there...

Hopper 04-28-05 08:05 PM

Yes that is hucking without style... All he did was fall :p Sure it was a big fall, but non the less a fall.

This guy has had custom linkage plates made for the bike, it has mor travel than the stock Crafty's.

anthonaut 04-28-05 08:07 PM

Just found the even bigger drop i was talking about.

Wow

Hopper 04-28-05 08:44 PM

FARK, that guy is an idiot. He bloody over shot the landing. Somehow he still managed to get his rear wheel to just get the landing.

anthonaut 04-28-05 08:49 PM

Yeah it just touched the edge of the little wall thingo at the bottom. Still classified as a flat land i reckon.

Sweet. I can't say much more than that as my jaw is still firmly planted on the floor.

Maelstrom 04-28-05 09:34 PM

Curious, but the concrete drop looked bigger. Must be the camera perspective.

Any time you bag yourself it is without style

StalkerZERO 04-29-05 12:34 AM

Ya ya I know. :(

But I'm trying to get a feel for whats out on the high end. I mean for when I become skilled and I want to graduate to dual suspension type of trails, jumping and flying over rooftops and what not. :D

..........that and when I get a boat load of cash. :|

There are a great multitude of FS bikes availiable. Develop an idea of how you're actually going to ride and when the time comes we can give you a better answer. Besides I doubt you're going to be trying stuff like this.

StalkerZERO 04-29-05 01:31 AM
