    On the Shore we called that a "Dansition" back in the day. Dangerous Dan would make 15'+ drops with a bike length transition, that was in the 90's and early 00's, we've since moved on from doing silly things like that.
    You should watch Mark Matthews latest video, he spent over 100 hours building just the landing for a 20'x25' drop, he posted the video today of him finally hitting it, it was butter. Way more process to what Mark did, he even changed his run in to make it more comfortable at the last moment.
    Lewis was flying by the seat of his pants on this, run in was super sketchy, landing was awful, it's a wonder he wasn't injured worse than he is.
    I don't build "big drops", but even as a regular trail builder, I could see from the start this wasn't going to work, the landing needs to be at least 15' closer and twice as tall/steep and that would still be sketchy, because it is just too big a vertical drop.

    This is scary AF. In Russia, we have a local freerider legend, Kirill Benderoni (I believe he is living in Poland now). He had a wildcard Rampage invitation in 2013 and rode in the Fest Series, so he definitely has the skills. In 2018, he had a serious crash at his local spot (also went short) and sustained a diffuse axonal injury (DAI). He was very lucky to recover to a state of self-sufficiency, which took him more than two years, there were many donation campaigns both here and abroad. I don't want to scare you, just a reminder that the line between being very lucky and ending up in a vegetative state for the rest of your life is incredibly thin. Be safe.
