it utlimatly depends on the gear ratio ur in and how much wind is blowing at u, i mean, seriosuly if ur gonna be dropping 8 feet (more like 4) ur gonna be needing sum top notch bike equpment, and i am saying the hardtail just ainb't gonna do it, it's just too big

this saturday, i did the big glc three times on my norco rampage with an 03 super t, with regular springs, and i only used about 5 inches of travel. It was super smooth, even on my hardtail.

Its called a joke.

[M@M]

oops, sorry, im a little tired

[Straw]

Def hit it.

I can do it on my little Balfa Minuteman with 5" DJII. It's surprisingly smooth. I've messed it up quite a few times, and still rode out of it.

The only problem I find is keeping my traction coming into it, when you have to take the right-hander up to the actual take off. Might not be an issue untill the super dry gravelly days of late summer though.

Note though...it took me all season to get the courage. I think I hit it in August or something. Once I did, I wondered why I didn't do it sooner.

[Dantes Inferno]

its bigger than 4 feet, its only 4 feet if you drop right onto the top of the wood. if you hit the good part of the tranny its probably about 6 feet. and if you send it by jumping the end of the hill up to it and taking the most right line, then its pretty big.

[FlipFantasia]

it's pretty mellow actually, you can go pretty slow off the left side and pretty much almost land on the wood making it much much smaller than 8 feet....I do it on my xc-ified stuff with a crappy fork, you'll be fine, just cruise in with some good speed and keep it smooth

ya i totally forgot about that factor, sometimes i make my shonk setting as plush as they can go, strap my fox moto cross armor as tight as it can gom adjust my shades, make sure alot of lineup people r watching, and just torque into it from the wallride, going as fast as my legs let me, then at the lip, i just preload and pop like jack in the box and land as far past the tranny as possible, i give the head lash, hit my neck on my stem, and ride away with one hand ppumpoing into the air, throwing my horns, knowin i just did at least a 10 footer

[Professor Frink]

It's like 24 feet if you count the tranny. When I did it, I gapped the village too and landed in the sand trap behind my hotel. SO AWESOME!!11oneone11!122111

you are a n00b!!!

I gapped off it, manualed the chairlift building and landed right on the tranny in the DJ park, beat that!

[Coop]

are you trolls going to pollute every whistler thread?

[FlipFantasia]

although for as small as you can make it, it can also be bigger.....yes, I know, could've used a stiffer spring.......

Funny pic, for sure.

actually had no idea what had happened till 5 days later when my buddy showed me the pictures...never noticed it on landing and pedalled out of it!

[Hip Hop!]

drops are messured from the top of the landing. not where you land.

[patrolskid]

apparently you are new around here . . . . .

[S-Dawg]

holy u went a long ways, i think im gonna have to try it like that. most people land just after the wood

Going farther will hurt your bike. I destroyed my rims doing that haha.

[freerider guy]

I find it funny that I have never done the big GLC. I've only ever even taken one run up to it (was gonna do it but for some reason aborted cause it just felt funky). For the rest of the day I just had fun doing the biker X and didn't even think about it.

apparently i am

yeah I don't recommend it either, I only hit it that fast during the race, any other time is just broken parts waiting to happen....plus the tranny starts to get too mellow.....

[Dantes Inferno]

I like to send it on my 2004 bullit with my 2002 super T with crack on both side of the arch, alex MT28 rims, and my bike held up super good. Although i did break a spoke today jumping up stairs.

[hobo man]

i am thinking one night i am gonan build a super booter on to[ of it and hit it b4 the park opens, it will be epic, i might demolish the tronny to make it a lil bigger if u know what i mean

make sure you wear oakly and TLD camo jerseys when you do it though because that area is under 24 hour survaliance. then when you finish it. hit it at night and be sure to take a picture using a REMOTE FLASH

[nedonator]

No seriously. First time I did it, my single-brake, single-speed Balfa Minute Man's Monster T topped out too hard and I went vertical in the air, ditching my bike and falling on my legs-luckily my hockey armour saved me from serious damage. However, my bike bounced all the way down the hill and I lost a lot of the plastic shit I had duct-taped to it (like fork stanchion guards, because you know, with all that bike-ditching I do, you never know when a stanchion grind may go down)-damn.

[NickS]

is this pinkbike....

[bcbud]

bbbuuuurrrnnnnn.....

[thom9719]

sarcasm doesn't do well over the net.....

as for the GLC drop, it isnt that big, just ride off it, it isn't hard, people have this notion that it is a big drop, it isn't. If you go slow, it is about the height of the average loading dock.
