I'd say these two would fit the description of both high drop and Crazy!
Over 7 feet off a tractor, and nearly that high off a telephone booth!
Never again to flat! I've done 7 foot drops on MUni trails, but they
always have a nice down slope for a good roll out, which is key.😄

Because from that height you land it and sink into the sand, making to
come off the uni.

2. you can hop out of it.

Mine is somewhere around 8 feet. Of course it isn't to flat though.
Here is a 6' tall rock Terry did a drop off of.
I guess I must be about 8' tall by his measuring 🙂

That sure doesn't look like the HUGE boulder I jumped off of. It was
easily 5.5-6' from the launch point to drop area, which was on a slight
downslope and about 3' out. But hey, that was then and this is now lol!
You would have been able to stand well under the bottom of my tire for
that phone booth drop! Unless you're 6' tall now!🙂
