    *"7 ft is surely" not enough to win"* :p🙄😄 Lol! Serioulsly, do
    it! _I_want_to_see_you_do_*7'*_and_land_it_on_film!_ Or beat my coker
    drop.😄 But please don't make it seem like dropping seven feet-and
    landing it- is no big deal! That's a damn good sized drop!

    'Here you go, at 2:28' (

    ) Im
    not saying 7ft is small, Im just saying I know alot can do bigger. I
    cant be bothered, I dont think its worth the risk. Its easy to bust
    your ankle and can put you out for weeks. Not worth it for me, I do way
    to much to go and hurt my ankle like that.

    That link isn't working for me.🙁 Btw, what do you consider "a lot"
    bigger? 9', 12', 15'? Just curious as to what you think you could
    successfully land. **I'll bet I could get the prize for the highest
    36er drop landed!** 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Edit: Since you and probably a lot more *young* riders seem to think a
    7 foot drop is not a big deal, maybe I should just make a "highest
    drop" thread for those over 50! (I'd probably drop that down to 40+
    just to get at least a few participants...but even then maybe not lol!)
    Do ya think doing a 7' drop would be a bit more of a big deal for us
    geezers?

    Ok I saw it, but did you measure it? It sure didn't look like 7' though.
    Maybe 6 at most, or even 5 1/2'. Like many say, drops seem a lot higher
    than they are, then when you actually measure them, you find that they
    are a lot lower than you thought. How tall are you? *
    Nice drop though.*🙂

    If I had a new rim id be in on this easily. But im sure a few more 8
    footers and my rim would die, cause its already pretty bad.

    Reading through here kinda makes me laugh a lot. In my experience,
    wrecking off big drops have never hurt me. Actually, compared to the
    wrecks I have done while doing street or trials, wrecks off big drops
    are nothing but a funny bounce and a big adrenaline rush.

    Haha yeah, I agree it's a big rush! I used to get ankle inversion
    sprains every once in a while doing big drops, but since getting my
    five ten high impact shoes, (like a year ago or so) and probably better
    technique, I don't worry too much about the bigger drops.😄

    "Crazy"? Haha you must mean win the whole thing in all categories in my
    36er! lol not likely, but I have landed a 4 footer on my 36er, so I'll
    go for a bit higher. Can anyone show me a video of *anyone* landing a
    higher coker drop than me? I'd love to see it!
