you gotta pole whack before you start your line so people can see you of course.

i would say 20' if you're on the phone with your mum and you don't lose your phone.

That was sick. Looked like a rush. My guess is about 30ft maybe?

As far as jumping off stuff, I've done a 90ft'r into water without fear, but a 5 ft kicker on my skis scares the shit of me, Serious. I have yet to really find my jewels on skis. I'm working on it. Ha

Ask any girl - you dont want small, large is awesome. Too big and you may risk injury though.

this! i think people really over-estimate how big the cliffs are that they drop. I was watching a video at school, some guy drops like a 30 footer, and this kid behind me just goes "dude, thats not even that big! i could do that" i just turn around and go "you dumbass". I've seen this kid ski, 100% gaper.
I have droped a 15 footer in Utah. I am not over-estimating. And i aint gunna lie, it scared the shit outta me. I do not plan on dropping anything bigger haha.

this is one of the bigger cliffs ive dropped and i felt pretty boss after but ive done some scarier smaller ones with lots of rocks and high speed stomp or hurt scenarios or large cliffs with shitty flat landings lots of cliffs make you more of a man in different ways

Something tells me you guys see a 20' cliff and call it 40'. Do you realize how big 40' is? That's over four stories. Not to mention another 15-20' you'll add just for the landing, which better be pretty steep. It's manly no doubt, but I'm going to say the golden standard for "man sized cliffs" is easily 30'.

I have yet to find a 40' cliff that doesn't have a flat landing anyways.

ehh based on the picture 40' is pushing it...that looks around 30'

Don't take this the wrong way though, because that's ballsy as fuck dude! 30' is fucking gnarly.

this looks like a spot at Red Mountain

the tree by your landing doesn't add up though, so I guess it's not the same.



as for my previously claimed 40'er:

landed just out of frame, 40 feet, give or take.

If you have time to cuss yourself out for being stupid while you are dropping; your manhood has been tested. ... and your testes are large, blue and veiny.

Anything legitimately 20ft+, if you backslap it doesn't count.

I loled. But I was thinking 40' takeoff to landing. 40' of sheer rock face is huge for sure.

Ah yes. The gross vs. net discrepancy. 40 net would be 40 if you just stepped off. 40 gross is take off to landing. Either way, 40 feet is pretty burly.

Maybe, it would be better to assess based on how many times you roll down the windows. Rolling down the windows twice means you are falling for awhile.

That was a pretty sick video ski bum smith. First line in this edit is probably my biggest. I would guess 30 ish.

The largest cliff ive hit was probably A-Frame in rocky point, and ive heard it called anything from 20-65 ft. and like any cliff judging the size really depends on how big you send and how far you drop. i like to think i sent a-frame a good 40-50 ft on a couple occasions. and it definitely added length to my penis

that also depends on skill. people can hit big ones with perfect style and clean, and small ones that they are rolling down the windows the whole way

0:47 was the first cliff I ever dropped (from NC so I don't really get the opportunity very often). Its hard to judge but I'd say it was upper 20's to lower 30's. 1:01 is probably the largest drop I stuck over the couple days of powder skiing I had last year (maybe 25 feet). Both are in realtime.

A-Frame is big. And you gotta send that shit to not land really flat.

I've probably done 20. And let me tell you it's different then just a normal 20 foot jump in the park.
