KU Wescoe Drop on a Giant Trance X1

I've always wanted to do this drop and I finally found the guts to do it. Once you hit it once, you just want go again over and over. The landing is so smooth, but still enough to bottom out a 5" travel bike!

@turnoffski amen brother

[hatspencer]

agreed, lower the seat :)

[bananowyjestemsobie]

@marcelofloripa26 He probably won't crack it, the trance has been proven to be able to take much more abuse than it was thoretically made for ;)

if youre gonna be droppin an huckin u shud lower that seatpost. That thing is up waaaaay to high

@ksfreerider he comes out smoothly, maybe the lip is only proeminent on that side of the wall.

@marcelofloripa26 lógico que não! é mais capaz dele quebrar o testículo esquerdo com esse banco alto do que o quadro. isso se faz até numa rígida sem problemas, porque o drop não é pra flat! bike de all mountain aguenta isso e bem mais até.

@marcelofloripa26

First: Do you own a Giant? The Giant frames are some of the strongest ones around and if the suspension is set right the Trance is easy capable of handling drops bigger then that. I have seen carbon fiber frame bikes do drops like this and no damage to the frame or components

@marcelofloripa26

Not made for that , I agree.

Crack the frame, don't think so.
