I did about a 10 foot cliff to flat. I screwed up my heel so bad. I could run for about 3 weeks. Oh yeah, it was ice, and I had no speed going into it.

big drops to flat confuse me. i watch things like tanner in the beginning of his wski segment, stomping the hell out of a 20 feet (?) drop to flat like nothing.
my biggest is probably...i dont really know, but anything over 10 feet hurts, you gotta keep your body so tight. i do know that landing switch to flat is easier (maybe just less painful) for me

i dropped a cliff in Jackson about 15 feet to flat and it was bad. I thought there was a lot of powder but there really wasnt. I knew that i was screwed right after i took off. I landed, double ejected, and screwed my shin bad

hmm, overshot a 45ft step down, i was at least 15ft above the deck, I'd say at least 15-20ft down after the knuckle, i'd put it anywhere from 30-40ft, it wasn't dead flat, but I was knocked out even though I had a helmet on.

He's saying he dropped a 35 foot cliff to flat, somehow didn't double eject, stayed on his feet without collapsing in pain or injury, skiied a bit further and tossed a 3 over a 75 foot cliff.

In short, he's not only a liar, but he's also too stupid to even come up with a believable story.

My goal = not to land flat

Why the hell would somebody boast about landing flat from 35 ft? Unless of course you overshot a nasty booter it takes no skill what-so-ever to step off of a cliff/building/stairs and land your feet...

because they dont drop 20 footers, its like a fishing story. 5ft becomes 20 by the time they get from the hill to their computer.

overshooting a 50 ft booter, about 25 feet, landed on my feet and skiied away fine. that was when i was 15 and made of rubber. last year, too much pop off the wall of an 18 foot pipe, plus 4 extra feet of air equals 22 foot fall onto my side/head. didnt get up from that one so quickly

I didn't go far enough on big jump. And made my Plantar Fasciitus come back. So now everytime I land hard, it hurts so much, and everyweek Im not riding, is like a revitalizing period.

Well if it's a cliff its not that unbelieveable, but anyway he's probably talking about a table in the park

I was grinding the antenna on top of the sears tower and caught an edge. Luckily I got my feet down first. I cracked my edge but my knees were fine.

40 feet to crusty flat shit at Kicking Horse. Fractured my tibula and bruised the shit outta my calf muscle. Also felt like my head was 70 pounds for about a week.

I've landed flat from 20 and couldn't stand for a couple minutes. Hell, a 10 foot flat out can wind you pretty fiercely sometimes. How high do you think Hibbert was on that shed jib in forward when he landed flat? How can someone drop a 35 foot cliff, land flat, and then huck a 70 footer? Not realistic.

But you're probably right, I guess he meant park.

if we are going by Gottabc standards then it was atleast 40 feet. I put myself into a cannondive position and landed on my side. Was sore next day but nothing too bad.

I overshot my second biggest kicker this year last day skiing by about 10 feet, so the vertical was probably 20 ft. Got a bloody lip cause I needed myself in the face. #### hurts.
