Does 5 feet count? Man, living near Buffalo really limits the coolnessof the skiing.

I've got Big Willy topped, I did on that was about 6 feet, but I just stood at the top and jumped off, didn't actually ski over it.

The cliff it's self was probably like 20-25, but I landed probably like 30 down. It was enough to roll up the windows four times.

the biggest stright drop was somewhere between 25 and 30 feet. the coolest thing i ever did was a front off a 15 foot cliff, i hip checked but keeped going and was able to get back up and ski away. looked pretty cool on film.

I've done a 50-60 footer a couple times, and have done flips off about 25-30. Where i live is perfect for cliffs.

yeah mine was really like 25 feet, but i landed 50 feet away from it on a pretty steep landing, and using the pythagirum and theorum i figured out that the distance i dropped from the top of the cliff to the landing was 49 feet

I'd have to say that 90% of people grossily over estimate how big the cliffs are that they drop. And its not just in skiing its also in things like cliff jumping. According to other people I've dropped 60 foot cliffs and jumped off 95 feet into water, but its all crap the real numbers are about half of that.

yeah cliff sizes are often overestimated. ever notice how 20 feet on the ground looks much shorter than 20 vertical? not saying that some of you haven't hucked some big stuff though

Hey schwags...how big is the jungle? about 40 or so right? so i know i've done atleast 40...and the cliff at mission is bigger than that. I dont think I'm over exagerating when i say I've done 50-60 but who really knows? I didnt measure the damn thing before i jumped of it! either way who cares, I'd rather drop cliffs all day then stay in the park.

I measured the size of the drop based on my height. I stood nest to it and it was about a foot taller than me, but I can see where it gets to be a problem with the 20 or so foot cliffs.

Oh man ontario cliffs suck ass. I hit this 10 footer that goes onto a run and just completely flattened on the landing. Completely winded.

I think anything over 20 feet is fairly hard to estimate, the line between 20 and 40 seems to get pretty blurry sometimes

iv never really had a chance to do anything bigger than 10 ft...... iv jumped off pretty high stuff into water tho (like 35 ft), i love that feeling when you drop.

Funny how massive corporations and media giants like NBC refuse to support new skiing events like big air and big mountian, yet they use the latter's image to enhance their own. Actually, not so funny. Suck it, NBC.

i did a 1000000000000000000000000000000000.0x10 to the 23909676878 power
footer once. It was narly and shit, I was falling for 3 days. My mom packed me a lunch that I ate, then I 'fell' asleep, hoping that I'd be on the ground once I woke up. Little did I know I would spend 2 more nights on the fall. It was pretty scary, I actyually shit my pants twice, once the first day and once the last day. when I finally saw the ground I started cheering and stuff. I landed in 2 feet of powder and ski away. it was a good time. I'm dropping it again in feburary, but this time I'm bringing a girl with me so I can fuck on the way down.

I dove off a 50 footer up in Yuba. I also did a flatspin 7 off a 20Ft cliff. If you add how far I landed down the hill, its close to 40.
