Title: Finally done it!!!VIDEO PROOF ADDED
Post by: Gary72 on October 05, 2011, 10:20 PM: There's a drop just up the road to me that I have thought about doing for ages but there has always been a car parked on the run up, But tonight had to go up the shops for some milk, Riding past saw no car there.
So thinking about it while on the way to Tesco's and while queing. On the way back still no car, Took off the ruck sack. Short run up and just did it ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Now dont get me wrong it's not the biggest burliest drop. It's about a 2 1/2 foot drop, But you have to hop over a brick ledge thats a few inches high and about a foot wide.
Only problem was I was alone. A man thats going to be 39 in less than 2 weeks while out shopping at 10 O'clock at night :-[

Post by: ThisBitterPill on October 06, 2011, 08:05 AM: Well done mate..... :daumenhoch:

Reminds me of the dropoff at our school BITD.....

About 40ft long....2ft high at one end...about 7ft high at the other....100% paving slabs....

Managed up to about the 4ft bit on my DP but that was scary enough....

Then one day a crazy punk kid called Richard rode his Grifter off the 7ft bit and landed the fooker! :idiot2:
