90 % luck/ 10% skill is a rediculous statement, holding and controlling your angle for a big drop is skill and practice not luck! Tyler is notorious for dropping big ones and walking away uninjured he has "stuck" many drops over 80,so I would say his ability to scout/ predict the line and his excellent big drop technique/control(feeling it out till the correct moment to tuck) is the reason he is so consistent not luck!(however if it is pure luck I would love to take that dude to vegas!) The skill needed to get to the lip and launch pales in comparison to the skill needed to control the freefall and enter w/ the correct angle to penetrate the pool safely w/ minimal impact. While skill cant prevent everything he has far more than anyone else when it comes to really big drops and consistently styles them walking away uninjured most of the time.I also hope this doesnt end in bad news,but dont worry few boaters will try to keep up w/ MR BRADT .After all most of his peers didnt even CONSIDER that drop even though they believed it to be runnable.So which one of us is gonna "stick" big cedar 1st? :shock: Just kidding!

9 parts luck to one part skill? This is right up my alley!!! Who's got a two hundred?!

Just 200 feet? What are you, some kind of ?

Why not go Team Stupid style? If you want to set a record no one can break, you gotta go really big:



At just a bit under 1000 meters (3200 ft for y'all luddites out there) no one will top it until they figure out how to build a bigger waterfall. Just make sure you stick the landing or it's probably gonna hurt...
