lie, if you were dropping a 60ft. cliff, your friend would definitely get the shot. You have no proof, 60 is fuckin massive, youd have proof. So no

if you are dropping cliffs bigger than 60 ft. you are probably really damn good, and if you are that good you are probably filming with some sick company, in which case you would have proof. 60 footer is as tall as a 6 story building

Maybe 15-20 lip-to-base, but he took the landing to at least 30-40ft.

20 ft to landing, max. And that is assuming he's 6 ft tall, so I'm being generous with my measurement. That drop was not higher than a 4 story building...

Bullshit. 20ft is around 3 times his actual height at 6ft (18ft, but whatever). He fell way more than 3 body lengths.

thank you, someone realizes that for every 10 ft. it is equal to one story on a building. 40 ft is a 4 story building

Again, ballpark 20ft. 40ft is a radical exaggeration, no?

20ish. It was big enough to be marked as a hazard which means it's typically over 20. So yeah, I was pretty excited about that.

PS I'm aware he's not fully extended, but I've left a little leeway on each end of his body to compensate.

It seems you're right about the landing...but that doesn't change the fact that its a 15' cliff. Can I drop a 5 ft cliff and overshoot 40 ft and call it a 45 footer?

Considering you're claiming to have dropped a cliff that is over six stories tall, it seems more likely that you're the type to nitpick trivial aspects of skiing in order to claim and stroke your ego.

I've seen very few pros drop 60 footers.

25, 30 tops. I'm dropping the smokestack at the Bird this year and that's gotta be what, 50, maybe 60 if you dig it?

so if a cliff is 15ft of rock, but to be able to drop it you need to clear something(rocks, bushes, gapers) that adds on another 5 ft, is it a 15 ft cliff or a 20 ft cliff

No, just hit it once and had to leave and I haven't been back unfortunately. I think if I actually would have landed directly on my feet I would have broken my face with my knee.

The distance from the edge of the drop to the closest possible landing area is the size of the cliff.

That's the size of the rock, but I tend to consider the size of the huck from takeoff to landing, so a 5 ft rock face taken to 20 ft down from the takeoff would count as a 20 ft huck.

If you read my post you'll see that I was describing the size of the CLIFF.

"He hit a 15 ft cliff and took it pretty deep. It was about a 30 ft drop."
