that thing is freaking masive. i can't even imagine how big it is in person.
benders got balls thats 4 sure....... unless he lost them after landing on his nuts all the time when trying to do no footers fo 20 foot drops.

my friends and i walked into it a couple of years ago when nationals were at sun peaks. The run is about 8 feet and the landing is flat as fuck and hard as concrete.

bender definitely didnt consider any phsyics before doing that stupid stunt.

Ive always wondered something, if there is a trail leading to that drop does it get used by some type of user group? Dirt bikes? Base jumpers? Skiers/Snowboarders?

apparently bender took quite a hit on that drop...he had vertigo and compressed a vertibrae...still when zed showed me the thing from the road i started laughing cause i thought he was kidding.

props to bender for doing something most would not even think of.

say what you will, but it takes BALLS to even think about this type of stunt.

yeah I saw that on my way to a little town outside of kamloops. we passed it and I was like......hmmmm that looks like the jah drop:eek: drops that big need gaps. none of this rolling off the edge, bracing for impact shit.

we hiked in from the road and then around the side of it which was a pain in the ass. I suppose you could access it top side somehow but i didn't seee anytrails. And if anyone, doing any sport wants to have anyhope of riding out of that they need to land about 60-70 feet out from the base where the landing is steep. Then the just have to be able to stop before slaming into numerous trees and a river.

A river eh? Maybe the user group is base jumpers attached to kayaks?

I'm afraid this drop is not on the way to any town other than Pinatan Lake. The drop itself is absolutely stupid if you ask me.

i dont have a whole lot of respect for bender. he is just a mindless rider with no respect for his body (especialy his nuts!). No real skill, imo. I admit I have not seen a whole lot of his riding though, so my opinion may be misguided. idunno...
