  1. I've been cruising around on my uni and I finally found a set of five
    steps and I want to gap them. (or whatever you call it when you jump
    over all of them). The only problem is I don't know if my uni would
    survive the impact. If you measured the drop it's almost 4 feet.
    Normally something like this would be ok. But recently I've been
    hearing rattling from my hub when doing drops and I've checked every
    bolt and nothing's loose so could this rattling be a weakness in the
    hub?

    doesn't really matter, It's just what the body does.

  4. how bad does something like that hurt if your crank breaks? this five
    set is about a mile from my house.

  5. It will all depend on your style, with a good rollout, you might be able
    to do it without breaking anything, but it would be a bit sketchy.

  6. You can easily do it.
    The LX is bombproof, just do it, don't even think about it. Just do
    it!! If you think about it you will get scared and back out. So just do
    it!!

    Never underestimate stupid people in large groups

    It is always better to keep your mouth shut and have people question
    your intelligence, than to say something stupid and leave them in no
    doubt.

    Don't worry about looking like a dork for diff color cranks. You ride a
    uni, lol.

  11. No, we like to see everyone get hurt, not just you.
    But it's nice to know in advance so there is a film of it for sure,
    then we can watch it in slow-mo.

    Don't worry about it dude, you will be fine. Whatever you do don't
    think about it or you will chicken out. I know from expierence.
    Just do it!!
    You will be fine if you are confident, so don't think you will get hurt
    you will easily land it. Just focus alot on the drop and it will be
    fine!

  14. 4 feet is fine for a LX.

    AFter a lot of 4 foot drops will the cranks start slowly bending, but
    just every now and then youll be fine. =p

    Go for it!
