My highest was ~4.5'. I don't see why your poll only goes up to 5'11" - there have been a good number of people who have dropped from higher than 7'.

A little over 3 feet, maybe up to 3 and a half, I never measured it. Odd thing was, that drop was a lot easier than a good deal of 2 and a half foot drops I had done previously, even though i was dropping onto similar terrain.

I have landed about 3.5-4 feet. But I have tried about 5 feet but didn't land it.
Do you have to land it for it to count on the poll? It seems like a lot of people and saying that have tried really high drops but didn't land it.

i think that drops can be cool once in a while, but height and big risk should not be what makes your line a challenge.
yeah, you should land it for it to count.

Drops aren't very satisfying and they can be very painful. They are only good for getting down from a trials line, or impressing people.

True, but if you do a big drop and biff it, you just look stupid....

Here is the 4.2-metre jump that Yoggi did, several times, at Unicon XII in the chilling out period after the trials (for which he built the course). He never quite managed to hold the landing, but did from the easy little 3.1-metre drop.http://www.unicyclejester.com/gallery/uni/uni/Yoggi_drop.wmv.html
(of course, he makes the cranks - so this was something of a product demo!)
