@s0undw0rks

i like that thats what you felt was most outstanding in the photo. i wouldnt ind the massive beercan either... or the skills and guts to tailwhip that drop on a hardtail. i mean either one i guess

mgolland45 (Aug 20, 2010 at 16:50)

yeah true

26street-swaagg (Aug 22, 2010 at 9:56)

Its not 40. Its 25'x20' so with a bit of overshoot id say he probably went 35 feet from lip to landing

+ 1

hardtailfreerider93 (Aug 23, 2010 at 9:35)

i can promise you thats not 30 or 35 feet, i shoot competitively at 30 feet (10meters) and know that thats definatly longer than that

+ 1

26street-swaagg (Aug 23, 2010 at 10:22)

do the math b, the drop is 25x20 so thats your a and b and the distance from the lip to landing is the hypotanuse(sp??)

+ 3

hardtailfreerider93 (Aug 23, 2010 at 12:42)

no need for math lol. you can just look at it. its f*cking massive

26street-swaagg (Aug 23, 2010 at 18:36)

No there really is. Do you understand how you get the distance or do I need to draw you a picture

however if i did my math right, which i probably didn't, its around 32 feet. Razz
