To drop or not to drop...
 

off the Jah Drop, that is the question. I'm contemplating it as I type this, I feel like it's time to kick it up a notching riding wise. Once I get healed up though.

Ummm, NO!

I don't know Mtb lingo....so what's a Jah Drop?

That is the Jah Drop

Where is the drop? All I see is a hill side.

That is the drop.

Now, wouldn't that hurt?

Just ask Josh Bender. Did he ever land it? I really don't know if he did or not. In one of my DVD's, it's his 2nd year and he made 3 attempts and crashed all 3 times. He said there wasn't enough of a tranny.

I'm sure he eventually landed it. Bender loves the media attention.

Hmmm, if you think its a good idea and you think your capable of doing it then go for it, I wouldnt try it though, But im not you :P

Its funny I was talking with a buddy about this the other day. I was wondering how long it was going to take for someone to push the height of a drop as big as Bender, land it and possibly throw down some style. Seriously the only thing keeping bender in this game it no one is going as big as he does. His drops still on average dwarf all of the other freeriders. If someone could do the same stuff as him and land it we would have bender replaced :)

Danka, have you ever even done a 40ft drop? 54" is pretty signifigant :)

I have, but it's beeen a while.

I would say go for it it is only 14 ft :)

umm...do you have life insurance?

That's insane.

Flying all the way out to Kamloops to hit that would be the first stupid thing to do...but the rest of the area has killer riding.

yea dam right

but if you think you can do it then go for it but i know that at the moment i would not even think about it

do it... do it...

WOW!!! I've climbed up rock faces that high and I can safely say I would not want to fling myself off the top unless I had a very secure rope rigged up to stop me from falling.

If you've done 40' drops before though, I say go for it! You'll probably only gain another 10-15 miles per hour in speed over the 40' drop.

sure you can do it, but can I have yor bike when you eat it? Chances are you'll break so many bones in your body you may not ever need your bike again, so send it my way :D IMHO there's no point really. I mean you ride for fun. How fun is being laid up in bed for 3+ months because you had a moment of stupidity. Just doesn't make any sense in my book.

Bender Has not landed it yet. He keeps trying but his suspension rebounds too much when he lands and he gets launched. Props out to bender though, hes a hell of a rider. Stupid, but a hell of a rider.

seems pretty crazy to me, but most of those type of jumps do(though I'd still like to try a lot of them).
I mean, jumping off a cliff that would normally kill you with nothing but more weight to break your fall...I might think twice.

well this ones only 2 years old...

As stated in an earlier post, Bender hasn't made this drop & stayed in control anyway. He's launched several times, but the landing zone is still too flat....

Everyone on here should see the NWD & Kranked Series..... They'll blow you away.

My friends cousin tried to do a 60 footer to flat and....well you can pretty much guess what happened. He had to get an airlift to the hospital and his bike was pretty much destroyed. I lost the video but if I find it I will definitely post it here, it's crazy. Don't try the Jah Drop unless you have a super hardcore bike.
