@Defectordrunkzone It was a 17ft drop onto a sloped landing, a full suss could do it to flat if you had the bottle :p. But the biggest reason to get full suss is the speed/control it gives you over rough trails, not just for drops
nice drop man! very steady looking landing. i'd like to see a follow up video with a nice jump built at that drop so you can actually get some crazy air.
@Triplegack why would you want a heavier bike for long rides? i have a HT and FS and i use the HT for all my long rides because of the increase in efficiency and the less weight resistance you get from a HT. I use the FS for short rides and messing around, because it is much more forgiving on rough terrain and larger drops than a HT.
please guys a want an answer to my question.if a hardtail bike(only front suspention)can do 17 ft jump why then buy a bike with full suspension?which is the deference?i am gonna buy a mtb buy i cant decide.
@Defectordrunkzone its heaps easier on a full sus bike, and there is a point i believe, where the hardtail will get damaged or you will . depends how good you are at soaking up impacts!
@cochbloch thanks a lot man for your time and advises.i really appreciate it.i have already made my decision about my next bike.ht is more suitable for me.thanks a lot.
im glad to see there are other serious riders that use Hardtails

That was pretty crazy on a hardtail! wow!! gives me inspiration to try more drops on mine

Biggest drop I've ever done on my hardtail is ten feet, I was plenty scared the first time I tried it lol, nice video.
That's not easy, the part of jumping pretty easy , but don't forget it takes alots of balls for jumping into something like that with a hardtail.
What front fork was that? How much travel did it have? Thanks!

lol congratz, :)
Hard tails all the way, only time I used a full suz it was at Ben Nevis
not hard to do on a HT so long as u havce the speed
Have fun landing this one being to fast or jumping to far without rear suspension!
would be better with the music from LOST
yh nt bad but i bet you couldnt ride up it afta :P
This is more like a 12 foot drop, maybe 17 feet long though.
Video looks way smaller.
