    we might have 27tat27 along with us as well. I'll find out tomorrow for sure. I'm gonna say don't get much bigger than 4-5 guys in a group though, so we can keep moving all day, and aren't waiting around for some reason or another.

    oh, and I'm hitting that friggin flow drop this weekend. it just need to be done.

    last year I was a pussy cause I sucked at drops. this year, I didn't get to it until my last run, so I was tired. that, and I don't want to do too many big drops with the boxxer on the reign.

    got the other bike this weekend though, so no excuses :bang:

    dont be afraid to break your bike, it can be replaced.. just worry about yourself going off cliff cause you cannot be replaced!

    well, I AM running a boxxer on a reignX. the way that the bike would break because of that would result in a rather harsh crash, so :?:

    I've got the beefy bike this time though, so I'm hitting the drop whether I like it or not.

    I'm not worrying about it at all actually. I did the rock drop on bullet, which I'm pretty sure is harder (shitty run in and a root in the landing). I mean, if stinkyrider can do it... :lol:

    Its not much bigger in person....Probably about 6ft to the top of the ladder.....and about 10-15ft to hit the sweet spot.

    Safest...funnest drop at mammoth IMO.

    yeah. it's just big. not hard from what I hear (or what I can tell). it's still a 10-15ft drop to where you land though.

    ok, I've always thought the drop looks way bigger in real life than it does in any picture or video. Like others have said, the hardest part about the drop is just nutting up and doing it. The transition is pretty forgiving. It's just a matter of getting over the intimidation factor when you roll up to it and it looks like the the trail just drops away into oblivion.
