Small Drops, Big Drops, 1-2-3

You know, it's really amazing how something small can feel so much larger when placed in the right context. Take, for example, the above picture. The drop I'm riding off was only four feet up, five feet if I rode really fast off the ladder and landed farther out on the transition. Five feet. That's not that high. That's just a little bit lower than my standing height. But, when you ride off a five foot ladder drop on a bike that's going 15mph, that little five foot drop makes your stomach drop much the same way a 30 foot drop must. Small drops feel like large drops, and I imagine large drops feel like skydiving.

Either way, I like dropping off things with my bike.
