There is only two eventualities to taking a drop like that - you either make it and gain instant "Trail Legend" status or you die.

I have this game with my wife that we call HOW MUCH, i.e. Everyone has a price to do something...

 

Me, with the right bike and protection, 10k and I will attempt it.

By my very scientific method :whistling: of measuring the wheel size, creating a ratio and then measuring the drop. It works out at about 8,650 meters. Not taking into consideration angle of picture and trajectory.... :ph34r:

 

And also assuming it is a 650b, middle ground!

Not just the height though.  You need to send that bad boy.  On the video you see how hard it ejects him over the bars upon landing.  Bike slams and then you have to ride it out with 0mm travel left.
