Going off the dreaded "Drop"

Convinced a well armored rider on the trail to give The Drop a try. Doesn't look like much in the video but it's scary to even stand on the ledge. I had my brother squat under it to put it in perspective. Shoot between two trees and the drop is a good 20+ feet. This is his first attempt.

That is not a 20' drop.

@slkjohn Yea I know it looks like 5' but the person standing under the ramp is showing that the ramp is at least 4.5' off the ground where the ramp starts and from there the drop is another 12-15'. When you stand on the end of the ramp you would never jump off in a million years and a 5-7' drop I'd jump without thinking. This one is so high up it makes you weak in the knees to stand on the edge but I recognize that the video does it absolutely no justice. Like taking a video of the grand canyon.

@slkjohn Head there one day and take some better shots, see for yourself. Then post an actual measurement I would love to know what the true distance is between where his back tire hits and the edge of that ramp. It ain't 5'. That would be a joke. Try to take the hunched down adult and extrapolate that into some sort of make shift scale. Someone who goes to Deer Valley often has to be able to tell us accurately.
