smoke (Dec 21, 2008 at 12:36)

It's a solid 20' drop, and you may as wellknow that there was some photoshop involved. He rode it, but Brad pulled the shutter a touch late so he moved Mongo back up a little bit so you can see him better. Oh, and like the description says, he overshot it but still walked away.

Treebasher (Jan 12, 2009 at 13:32)

I love that he did this on a rental bike - I couldn't even do that on a bike I know inside and out!

smoke (Jan 12, 2009 at 15:13)

Not just a rental, but a bagged out ex-Silver Star bike park rental from three years ago with a totally blown DropOff on it.
