In the description it says the rider is "Jeff Currie" but it kinda reminds me of "Josh Bender"

This photo needs way more hype then it is getting tell your friends to check it out... Jeff rolled up to this thing twice for speed checks and then dropped it on the 3rd..... I only got one shot so I am pretty stoked on it... took 5 lights to light up the scene !

Unless you've stood at the top you'll never get a grasp of how big this drop really is. Much respect to Mr. Currie.

Final Answer is 1. yes it is 100% real I only moved a light stand out of the bottom right corner which is evident with my poor photoshop clone stamp skills in this edit.... final edit is clean and crisp....

Who wants to see someone hit this drop? Go no further: www.vitalmtb.com/videos/features/Video-Geoff-Gulevich-on-Home-Turf,4540/Ross-Measures,992
It's the last thing he hits in the video and it looks BRUTAL.

Hi All I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the History of this drop...who built it, when it was built? what films it has been in and how many and who has hit it !!

Digger built it for NSX9, Super T hit it first, then Vanderham, then I'm not sure if Brad Walton or myself hit it next, and by NSX 9 everyone had seen it, and many people had hit it by the end of its second year.
Oh yeah before it was the Toonie Drop Geoff Gulevich had just the smaller version built "Loonie Drop" as it's now called (but with a far smaller and techier tranny so it was actually a legit stunt).

Oh yeah I didn't drop enough names so here's some more. Gully's original drop was featured for a long time in bike. It was a nice green pic with Gully dropping off the rock with no tranny in the shot and he was tweaking the bar towards the camera (to his left).
Ken Maude, North Shore riding legend, now owner of Lynn Valley Bikes, and I were hanging out and chatting about stuff when he noticed the pic in Bike and told me that Todd (Digger) had just finished building this ridiculous version of the same drop. I talked to digger about it, went and saw the drop before Super-T ever hit it, but had to digest it for almost a year before I hit it.
I actually took Kevin Landry there one time to show him where it was so he could hit it and film it, but when we got there Landry wasn't feeling it that day. I actually was and ended up hitting it. I went back a week later and hit it for Digger's cameras two times. My first jump with Digger wasn't so smooth due to poor foot placement and it's the one where you hear the loud bottom out in the overhead shot in NSX 9. My second jump for Digger (third overall) was great - it was the slo-mo static shot in NSX 9.
Man I'm exhausted now from lifting up all these names to drop them on you guys...

Fair play! that is Pretty damn Epic as Pictures go... Rider is Bloody Brave = D Uber man points for that.
Nice shot too. I thought the landing was the bottom left hand Corner but he doesnt seem to be pointing that direction.

Why Cant he??? Sorry but that doesnt make any sence...there is no reason why he couldnt. People have done bigger and as big as that in the past, therefore it is not impossible to do so. SO...... without witnessing yourself of him failing, you can not make that assumption
Not being bitchy....just saying... ( its 4am here so sorry if that sentence made little sence)
