    What is the biggest drop on a snowboard? Who What When Where etc.

    Just wondering if anyone knows what the biggest drop on a board is, I've never heard of anything, personally think it's harder to drop stuff on boards than skis, it isn't a very good stance for absorbing impacts, just curious to see what anyone else knows.

    I know that Tex Davenport hucked a ~100' backflip off Table Mountain. I don't know what the biggest drop is though.

    I don't know about it being harder on a board... Two plankers seem to find it impossible to ride out of big drops

    Wasn't there some frenchman who dropped out of an airplane about a decade ago. Not sure how high he was but he had a parachute on, so maybe that doesn't count.

    Whats a Snowboard?
    People should learn endurance; they should learn to endure the discomforts of heat and cold, hunger and thirst; they should learn to be patient when receiving abuse and scorn; for it is the practice of endurance that quenches the fire of worldly passions which is burning up their bodies.

    "What is the biggest drop on a snowboard?"

    I would say the rider's IQ if it wasn't so mean and I wasn't so PC.
