  1. look at this review for the DM vortex muni on UDC. It says he has done a
    15ft. drop. I take it that's an exageration? 15 ft is really really
    high...

  2. Did it say whether he can still walk? And did it mention his hopes for
    having children?

    im just guessing, but you have never gone off a big drop ... its not
    hard to miss your "jewels"

    the world record is/was 12 feet, but that was onto flat ground... in
    the guiness studios... 15ft onto a sloped surface would probably be
    easier on your body than the 12 foot drop.

    thats still insane ... my biggest is about 9 feet into sand, and my
    feet slipped off the pedals

  5. 12 feet is the record? set buy who? I've done 13 ft 6 inches to flat
    three times on my trials uni. 15 feet is insane! but it could be done.

  7. The "official" guiness record was by Alex Toms, at a guiness show thing
    or something like that. There's a video around here somewere.

    I know Kris Holm himself has said something about him landing a 16.5
    foot drop.

  11. The one in U2 I've heard was slightly over 9. But, it was sketchy.

    I think the cranks bent a little bit on that drop...the rim was a lot
    worse though. I think most of the damage was on the rider😉

    The damage to the rider happened before the drop, And it wasn't
    physical, it was mental.
