I've been there and that thing looks terrifying from every angle you look at it. I am in no way expert enough on big drops but can definitely tell just by looking that there are some design flaws on that drop that make it terrible for everyone that's not a pro. As some comments mentioned, they renamed it to big daddy but the funny/sad thing is that there was no effort to make a smoother landing so it sits there mostly unused (the growing grass is a telling sign)
I spent a few summers riding up in Steamboat Springs area. I saw a huge drop at Mt. Werner. And although bike and riders kind of maxed out, most riders made it OK. But this drop, as you say, seems designed in a way that makes successful completion kind of sketchy.
@@cheker10000 i mean at the end of the day id your breaking your knees yours breaking em anyway but tbh the helmet is essential anything will stops scrapes
What went wrong : 1) the suspensión provably wasn’t set up properly for that impact on landing 2) either he didn’t land in the correct zone or the drop don’t have one specific point of impact for the drop 3) his body position maybe is incorrect and his arms and legs where not ready for that big impact . 4) not correct protection looks like he just finish school and drive past this MTB in the way home I give a like because the efford of the editing of the video and have balls to do it I always do things in my bike that I believe I can manage as taking a risk can put you in a wheel chair for the rest of your life . Ride safe and good luck .
Also his seat post was up like he was just going on a uphill ride, so I think if he had more room to manoeuvre he could’ve bailed without as much damage or even stayed on the bike.
Mate, there is no way you could ride out of that, no one could. He did nothing wrong in terms of technique, he simply rode way to quick and massively overshot the landing, probably on purpose because he knew it would make a good video.
Mostly number 3. Like most mtb riders he wasnt strong enough to absorb that impact. Riders rely on their suspension travel to take big jumps but the second the goto flat their body gives out. If you wanna hit those big jumps it's a good idea to work out too.
AntVSGaming 182 Are you dumb? You dont even see the landing in de video because he jumped at least 2 meters too far. I ride this bikepark a lot and 3 friends of mine landed this drop no problem
The moral of the story is if you build a old crappy wooden arch way at the Grand Canyon and give it a name like "hell drop" or " satans plunge" there will always be some idiot who thinks he can make it!😂
The giant drop is an old school low speed kind of drop. Something similar than chatel had years ago for the freeride competition only a lot smaller :) It's been built somewhere from 2004-2007 but like some other lines was kept for the riders that still like to ride old school stuff. Over the years I saw a a lot of people land it including at least 5 of my friends. Just check your speed before you drop it ;)
Thats awesome, it reminded me of some of the slopestyle courses I have rode! The video just refers to a few locals who were talking about the jump and said no one lands it. They were just exaggerating the fact that its a gnarly jump and a lot of people crash! haha
That was a great approach to the drop. You should always have chest protection when doing these huge drops. The problem with this drop is there was no transition. Who ever built this was no very smart. I also saw where it hasn't been hit much. Because unless you have have a 12 inch travel bike its not doable. Really not a drop that should be opened to the general public. Its to dangerous. I am sure you are a very good rider. You definitely have the balls for it. Your approach was perfect but you definitely bottomed out on the landing because it was too flat. Maybe more tire pressure up front and maybe more travel up front but that landing was way to hard for you to stay on that bike. Hope you get better soon and maybe start enjoying more cross country like me. hehe
Richard Cerill the trick to doing huge drops onto flat is that you must land both tires at the same time so you don't get bucked over the bars and your rebound should be set to the slowest setting you have to keep the bike grounded
You were too fast man, it's a low speed drop :/ I ride like you in jean - t shirt, but when you want to try this, take more protection for the fist try ! Peace man
@@Niceguy54444 no, that is completely wrong. The landing zone is not shown in the video as he overshot it by like 4 meters. I have been to this park many times it really is a low speed drop.
Easy on the high drama guys. We can see it's a big drop. Kid is lucky. I knew a downhiller (pro) in Cali who raced off a cliff to skip the berm most land on and he ended up doing exactly what you did. But the impact was so severe his heart smashed into his ribs on impact, killing him instantaneously. With full chest gear too. That kind of landing is no joke.
I was thinking this vid is a big snooze. Until the Giant Drop. No doubt, there are a lot of riders that could have made it. But full respect to THIS rider that went for it! May he heal well.
The only way to know if you'll make it is to try it, if everyone listened to those who say it can't be done we'd still be living in the stone ages. Props for having the balls to go for it!
Can't believe I watched this boring movie to the end. And can't believe you try to take off like a plane at full speed over a drop. Without protection. I don't wish you anything bad., but I'm happy for all young watchers that you broke something. Just a reminder that consequences are real.
"I don't wish you anything bad." What a d**k. See Sauvan Bastien's comment below showing how to convey the same thing while being a decent human being.
@@koho lol or maybe he's got point and lol maybe next time he will think i dont feel bad he deserved it you wanna ride yourr gonna get hurt lol not to mention all these big babys get offend pull the sand from your box already
This video is probably way better than what you are capable of doing, and putting down someone for what they love doing is pretty fucking low of you, I bet you wouldn’t even roll up to that drop fucking loser. Hahahaha
Damn no offense because props to all dh riders. That isn’t a very big drop dude maybe 20 down tops. But whoever built that should be fired. that is a bullshit landing. Hope all is well and your back riding.
To wich hospital did you go? The one in Jesenice (Splošna bolnišnica Jesenice) is only 22 km from the bike park and you're there in 20 min. That hospital in one of the biggest in this part of Slovenia (we need a big hospital for all the bikers and hikers ;) ). Strange that it took you 2 hours! O.o In 2 hours you can LITERALLY get to the Slovenian sea XD
Yes they told us there was a hospital close by but since we were living in Italy and it was just a broken collarbone we decided to drive back and just go to a hospital close to home :)
Anja Kolbl Exactly what I was thinking Anja. I live part of the year in Kranjska Gora and know Jesenice well. Luckily despite skiing and bike park action so far I haven’t needed the hospital ... ha ha... now I will have done it!
Looks like you had the wrong bike. Try it with a Giant like the sign says...
Riaan van schalkwyk haha nice
Riaan van schalkwyk nigga giants suck ass that is a giant piece of shit is what it is
jorge martinez haha you just don't know ... and what is nigga
Well, my Giant Glory has smashed out every big drop and jump I have hit with no problem, so you are talking shit.
Riaan van schalkwyk 🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂
Whoever made this crap obviously put more effort into that sign that they did a proper landing zone.
Michael 😂lol
Soooooooo true
wrong tons people do that drop and ride out just
Foreals
Whoever made you put more effort into makeing ur name than the fuckig IQ

1.8k dislikes.... the man rode of a cliff, give him some credit! You got balls my friend. 👍
When a video is uploaded before UA-cam removed the ‘dislike count’, and you watch it way after - couldn’t agree more with this @chillimunki
No protection of any kind that I could see. Props for having balls of steel but maybe throw in a little common sense.
I love it
Hes literally wearing a helmet and gloves
😂
@@Txsc4n a helmet is the absolute minimum. Never in a thousand years would I jump something like that without back- and knee protectors

Also his seat post was up like he was just going on a uphill ride, so I think if he had more room to manoeuvre he could’ve bailed without as much damage or even stayed on the bike.
He did everything right but just went too fast so the landing was fucked, pretty much flat, no chance of riding out of that.

Big shout out for his courage!
It is not courage….it is stupidity
Fabio could do it
Nate Songer omg yes Fabio wimber would send it
Nate Songer yes i think
Nate Songer hahahahahahaha 😂😂
yep lol
Fabio would flip it
how the f*ck are you supposed to land that thing?
haha they need to re make the landing before you can land it!
Bradley Smith Travels No, you went too fast.
AntVSGaming 182 just stop cycling and go play games instead
AntVSGaming 182 Are you dumb? You dont even see the landing in de video because he jumped at least 2 meters too far. I ride this bikepark a lot and 3 friends of mine landed this drop no problem

the best short movie ever :)

to be fair, he made it...
but the frame shock broke.
It’s like 10 feet not a humongous cliff
the giant drop was a failure of math.
I've hit this exact drop on my Walmart mongoose bike. And of course like a champ I landed that shit!
your name is Chad so I'll believe you
I only believe u cuz ur name is chad
chud you b lyin

Bradley Smith Travels try it again
Bradley Smith Travels welches skigebiet ist des ? Des kommt mir sehr bekannt vor
the drop is built for low speed. if not having low speed, you land in the flat and that is a bummer
The landing is almost flat ground. Should have a receiver. Can see the bike smack flat and used up all its travel. And wear some protection dude...
Sick dude, give you props for trying that
Thanks man!
That gotta hurt dude, love the slow mo tho :)
This is probably one of the best MTB videos out there
Whoever built that drop is a maniac
ahh.. sorry mate!
I really like the way you guys made the short clip! feels like watching a full action movie!! Awesome!!!
Thanks man, glad you appreciate the hard work!
sam limbona feels like watching disappointment
2:18 if you want to start seeing the jumps, your welcome.
great quality for such a small youtuber
Thanks!

I completely agree! The jump was made horribly. They really need to fix it up or just block it off.
It's not a jump... It's a drop... How are you guys not getting that? You can't jump every drop in the world, some you just have to dive in. :)
Was wondering the same thing. But i can't see any landint at all from these shots. Maybe get some more footage of the drop.
Richard Cerill the trick to doing huge drops onto flat is that you must land both tires at the same time so you don't get bucked over the bars and your rebound should be set to the slowest setting you have to keep the bike grounded
Bobboy 235 with a drop like that your tyres would pop
Awesome attempt👍👍

Sorry to hear man thats crazy! Deff blessed to walk away with only a broken collarbone.
*instantly*

Until the Giant Drop.

May he heal well.
"it never looks as big on camera"
me: HOLY FUCK THAT IS HUGE!
This comment section seems so toxic, saw this a good few years ago and came back well done
Kudos for the effort. May you land every other jump that you take.
I thought you had over 1 mil subs... you deserve some man
Ayee thanks!
3:36 looks like u got sniped
That's still better than my landings.
Haha that's great! lol
i feel sorry for you :( how can they build such a drop without a proper landing area... :(
badrums it's just a bad angle. Have a look at some of the people who land the drop.
He went too fast and over-shot the (short) landing.
i give u props for doing that jump
Thanks :)
how do u feel
All healed up, just some new metal in my body! haha
How did it break the bike?
Was it only the shocks bottoming out or more damage.
More than that, cracked the bottom of the frame and needed to replace some other things.
Shit that bad Im not doing that drop now😯😯😯😯
Haha just don't take more than one pedal and you should be okay!
That’s some dope editing
the camera man.. the only important thing he had to catch was him mid air.. but he totally missed him completely.. sad af get another job
Bad ass video! Awesome 👌
I dont see how you can land that it just bottoms out.
Dude biffed it so hard but even attempting that is respect 👊
I think they should rename it to “Reck Yourself Drop”
just a normal everyday fell good documentary
You missed the landing mate 🐙🐙🐙 cool video though
hahah deff missed it
Quinn Erno and I was like
Quinn Erno of y
Nice edit and music. Makes the lead up to the giant drop more intense
SPOILER ALERT: Jaws attacks at 3:36
Harv UK i stopped the video to look at the comments and it was exactly at 3:36 😂😂
Awesome b-roll
that was so hyped up for literally nothing...
no protections , if you Wear jeans and t shirt... this is the result
absolutely. i was kinda hoping for him to fall
igor A broken collarbone is hard to avoid with whatever gear u wanna put on
Elbow pads or a storm trooper suit won't help much with a fracture
But jeans are more protective than bike shorts.
Without neckstiff and protection clothes not cool
Great filming!
The giant drop should be called the widow maker
lol
Before he jump, he has calculate the risk, something like 50/50. He try it, still alive and he learn new experience. Nice video bro👍
The only way to know if you'll make it is to try it, if everyone listened to those who say it can't be done we'd still be living in the stone ages. Props for having the balls to go for it!
Thanks man!
idk why but this had me laughing so hard
I could see the warping in the tires! Must’ve cost a ton to fix! Props to you though for making it to hell and back.
Thanks man! Wasn't my brightest moment but sometimes shit happens! haha
Really great movie love it
moooaar mountain biking vids
Trying to get some more!
proud of ya bud
thats good u keep it up and keep going
wow that's amazing tricks yo
Bro please wear some protective gear, those tight jeans are too restrictive and for serious downhill stuff body armor is the only way to go.
Awesome footage #salute
RIP! But that was an awesome video regardless.
no one died why are you saying rip
Damn bro mad respect i thought you had it. Good shit
Hope you get better soon.
