ohhhhh ok then.. coool...! ! !

 

[neddy]

I only saw or heard of Grant hitting it once, the guy who's frame snapped (more like popped, nasty, nasty sound) was Shaums March, check out the 03 Red Bull Ride vid, not pretty at all when your front wheel blows out on landing from those heights.

I think it was bigger than 27ft because last years was bout 25ft, and this drop was like 10m so aint that closer to 30ft just what i heard??

 

[olsson]

Interesting. Man I could hit that any day...pfft small as.
nah Man I WISH. That is awesome, I wouldn't even THINK about that!

That's (Darryl Eastlake) HUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

darryl Eastlake?

HUGE :shock:

 

[Darkness]

hows the talking in the background?

 

[j-ro]

in 2003 he only attempted it once and hit it once, and nobody else even rolled down it.

I know this coz he told me himself.

He damaged his foot previously in a canada trip (check NWD3) and re-hurt it practising the north shore section.

The magazine wich talks of grants bike being broken is discussing an old stab primo he had that he broke overclearing a tow-in gap.
