The bigger drop to the left of the chairlift has had the run in cleaned up and smoothed out and the landing extended as well. Then on the right of the chair right after when you go over the large rock there is now a berm on the left to get you on to that rock face and then half way down that rock there is a berm built up with wood under it to hold the dirt in place on the right side to set you up better for the next section. That is all I could see from the chairlift, it ws not open before I headed home last week.

Yes. The biggest legal one anyway. We went through this already. Biggest drop: Fade to black drop. Biggest jump: biggest side on the creek gap.

Is the gap on DM bigger then the step up gap on Dwayne Johnson? (I have not hit either just curious) As well is the fade to black drop really bigger then the left line of the rock on the section of Dirt Merchant that is being re-routed or even the one on Dwayne Johnson, I saw this video of that and with speed the guy must have gone out 15 feet and down at least 10 to the landing.

I am pretty sure you just go down Lower Whistler Downhill and after the steep hill at the begining that is kind of a step down depending on your speed you just take the trail to the left, their is a large step up/gap then you go through the woods and such and hit that drop, after the drop you come out near the skills park where crack addict starts and Bline continues and such.

On this map it is number 63.

I have not been since a week ago but it was open last Monday. I was thinking this is the biggest drop in the park but the one on DM seems huge as well. As stated above the Dwayne Johnson line has a smaller drop on the right which i hit but an option to make it larger on the left.

Here is the left side of the drop being hit.

I was thinking the one that you cannot get to right now, that big rock that you can go off of. Right now the trail is re-routed right next to it I though. I have only seen it in videos so i am not sure, was more asking then statingSmile

the one right before the step up? That's tiny.

No the one that is just to the right of the reroute. It is a huge rock on the left that is an option but not the main line.
