I hate to to ask an opinion on a forum and then post a correction, but I've heard significantly larger than what you're saying ie: 60'-80'... any local Teton mags wanna chime in? (of course I want this to be as big as possible after the fact)

Probably depends on the year. But yeah, looks to me about 40' tops (your drop).

I time you at about 1.55-1.6 seconds in the air. That would put it right around 40 feet.

Actually, the one where he bumps the lower tier is hucking the whole the Edge. 60ish or so. Fredo's is a solid 100. Can't remember what flick it's in though.

This thread is in serious need of a bump! Some of you guys on here are nuts, straight up.

How about some Berthoud Pass airs?
this photo of triple rock doesn't classify as BIG air, but you could definitely go pretty large off this (i'm behind the camera for this shot)

It's much larger then 40 feet. The angle you shot it from is the most unflattering you could pick so to the folks that haven't been there might see it like that. I think it depends on the year but 60 to 80 is more correct imho. It's pretty easy to go a hundred feet or more on a lot of those airs if you hit em with speed. I haven't hit the DB myself but I have hit a lot of different lines in there, I have stood over and under the DB, much larger then 40 without a doubt.

A few Targhee lines in here.
