HUGE drop to concrete video!!!!!

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

Bigger and smoother on Dualie

Smaller and harsher on HT

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

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

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

Yes that is hucking without style... All he did was fall 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.

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.

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

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.

..........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.
