Yup, same here. Very impressive drop, plus I finally got to watch the
Yoga videos. Does not look like a very efficient way to get around....

Any idea as to the exact height of that drop?

I've hopped up stairs with mine and down single steps so far. *



If you've got a 29er you want to test like we did to that Coker I'd be
glad to help

Check out the tire bottoming out on the landing, good thing you added
air before the next jump. Might be a good idea to lower the seat in
future testing, hurts me just watching the videos.

So what's next maybe a picnic table? Can't wait to see more testing
footage, keep them coming.

Hey Jagur,
I used an old MTB "bar end" to mount the brake lever to the seatpost
on my Muni
