Shouldn't that be "biggest faceplant I ever seen"?

This is the longest jump done; 133ft odd by Jason Rennie in North Wales.




This seems to be considered the biggest drop - "Jah Drop"; but nobody is sure it's actually been landed yet - 57ft or something insane:

Better not forget the Arc de Triomphe Jump  (well, replica).

If he's getting a tow-in from the motorbike, on a full-sus MTB, is there really a lot of difference between that and just doing it on a motorbike?  :shrug:

That guy on the ski hump was quite squirrelly on the landing, lucky he didnt twat himself.
Those that know Greno woods will be aware of Peatys drop, the 25-30ft step down in the quarry, how about doing it on a hardratil?

I'd heard that Peaty's had been done on a hardtail, but never seen the footage - wad.

If he'd have cycled in down a massive hill instead of getting a tow-in would it be any different either?

I think there's quite a big difference - a motorbike can adjust it's speed using power right up until the take off, as well as being able to pull the front of the bike back up whilst in the air. At those speeds, an mtb doesn't have either of those capabilities, you would have to get everything more spot on.

"It's not a jump unless you stick it"

A couple of the other vids in the playlist are worth laughing at too, especially the Luckiest Skateboarder one (although I strongly suspect an edit occurs as the camera passes over the wall).

I love the way the guy puts in a couple of pedal strokes near the top.  Yeah, you need that bit of speed fella!  :bow:

Ok, no big jumps, but impressive none the less, nice back-flip at the end as well!
