Holy hangtime Batman! Colby Raha sends a terrifying drop on his MX - do we need to bring back the huck bikes to keep up? Who wants a 350mm DH bike raise your hands!

that was insane!

i am all for someone building up a pure huck "mountain bike" for a 100-foot drop. like bender's apocalypse but one that actually works.

i think with modern suspension it probably would. that risse stuff on the apocalypse was terrible. Monster t on the armageddon was a better start but heck that couldn't make up for how bad the risse rear shock was.

This is so massive... insane but I bet its possible someone with no fear could drop it. Especially on a 8.5" to 9" travel bike like Scott"s prototype with that new BOS suspension. As far as a 350mm dh bike thats probably overkill, but Imhfo a 27.5 dh bike around the 250mm range needs to be created for any true senders left out there!!!
And if for some reason a new age bike couldn't handle the drop its still possible to piece together a old school huck bike with 250mm or more of travel.
Remember old Risse an Manitou Forks, couple that with old V10 or somethin, put padding on the bars Bender style, some 2.6 tires, boom you have gnarly hucker bike!
Lets be honest though bikes are soo good now days if you got the skill just man up an send that shit on whatever dh bike you got! Long Live FREERIDE

Just the other day I saw another edit (I'll link it if I see it again.) of a moto rider hitting a bunch of natural terrain. As the finish banger he does a similar drop, maybe even the same cliff? With a tiny natural landing. Clean.

It was an X Games real moto entry... Kris Foster.

It's a bridge drop. Huge to a sniper landing at 1'23".

Ah, now I see where the OG clip came from. I guess Kris' is a bit smaller. But that landing!

Didn't Andreau and someone else drop an 80 footer at Rampage two years ago? What's twenty more feet with another build day?
