i made a new drop off, im guessing 9' vertical drop, its got a narrow crooked approach and a sidehill landing

i made quite a few false runs before going for it, im running the same suspension that i run in the woods, didnt even touch the clickers

on the last drop i got a little sideways and the wheels landed in a bit of a low spot and with my luck there was the top of a massive rock under the leaves.... ripped the skidplate right off and put a dent in the frame rail :shock:



now im on the hunt for a bigger drop but with a rock free landing, and maybe less trees right by the landing area

i know it sounds a little rich on top, dropped my slide and destroyed my last good C series needle, so now im trying out the DGL

I used to have no fear when it came to downhill drop offs. I would scare the hell out of my dad on a regular basis. Then one day riding my Suzuki RM50, I went off an 8 ft drop tapped in 3rd and snapped the bike in half. I'm cured. That being said, I still like drop offs, but I keep them small and slow. This one looks fun. Cool vid.
