By weeman on 6/27/2006 on weeman's blogTHE SIMPLE DROP
This is the most common kind of drop, although I'm treating it as a beginners obstacle. I've seen more bikers eating dirt on simple drops than on larger ones. The problem is figuring out how to tackle the terrain and then choosing the appropriate technique for handling it. If you have the luxury of being able to stop and check out the drop first, do it. Riding something blind is always a recipe for disaster and midway down a near vertical chute is not the time to figure out that your chainring is going to bury itself into the lip.
