Can I have a show of hands for how many people have done this before?

not on a hard tail i dont have any money to fix it when i crash and brake it
i dont want to be mean but if you want to know how to make a road gap come to the ACT we will show you how its done ala because we can style but that one is gone now we have a new one just as far not as high into a burm in to a phat set of dubbels ill find a pic and post it

I reckon a lot of people would be surprised how good the riding in Toowoomba is. We've got runs golare and more popping up all the time. Preston is absolutely off it's head!!! Gaps, we got some niiice gaps, we know how to build too, although I've about how good Canberra is, too bad a lot of shit got burnt. How much of the original riding is left ?
thanks for the welcome most of the stuff got torched places like bluerange and stromlo izaccs is the place with the stuff in because we can and it was loged because thay need wood because the wood thay were loging was out near bluerange. we are franticly makeing things so we arnt going to be stuck out in the rain later in the year.
i will post our dumy event poster just to see the intersest i get in it
it will be most likely be held in conjunction with the last DH of the year wich will be on a new track here in the ACT. oh and we will have anouter DH party wich may have some free grog fingers crossed
how do i up load a pic[/img]

really 30ft!
The angle of video that was posted on Pinkbike did not show his drop very well, and I can understand the doubt that has come up. In Statement you have more angles to judge it from (mostly from his second time) and are able to see the drop, and the landing a lot better.
The first time he hit it...I had my still camera frame set as wide as I thought he could possibly go, but it wasn't wide enough and I still missed the landing! :shock: It was 29.9ft vert & distance.
The second time he went even farther...and I hope I got the landing (The photos are still at the developers) with a gap of 44ft, 4inches, and application of the Pythagorean theorem at 45 degrees it is just over 30ft.
I hope this helps.

"They...being me, and the rest of the Invictus Productions crew, did measure the drop...the first time with approximation, and then after Russ did it the second time (a week later, and the day before the vid was due) with a measuring tape.Pana said:

Just a thought, but could we possibly institute a policy of not having people post these bullsh*t "Your drops not 30 feet" type of things. Too many previously good message boards have been polluted by people posting this sort of stuff, these days you can't post a pic on nsmb or pinkbike that is anything but 8ft. Any less and people say u suck, any more and they say it's a photoshop or start with the "That's not x ft" crap. We should be stoked that people are proud enough of what they've done to share it with us, not rag on them because we don't agree with their assessment of how big they've gone.
