I've been in my head for the last few months every time I thought about hitting it. Honestly, the smaller rock built drop that builds into this one was harder.
If you are thinking about hitting bigger drops, you really need to improve your drop technique. Drops is not about hopping off, it’s about launching and keeping the front wheel up until the rear wheel clears. I like to explains it as you push the handlebars forward as your front wheel reach the edge. You bring your chest over the handlebars, when the front wheel reach the edge, you push the handlebars forward, which move your body back (not up).
