They measured the Leap of faith at 14ft 3in in this video [VIDEO]. Jaws said the Lyon 25 is 14ft 9in and the Miami leap of faith [VIDEO] is 14ft 6in. Seems to me that 15ft is about the max-out point - Jaws has surmised the same in interviews before

[VIDEO] This video mentions the leap of faith being 14ft 3” from the step to the ground (they’re trying to say this gap in Miami is bigger so if they were bullshitting they’d lean towards smaller, they’d have no reason to lie & say it’s bigger than it is), in the video of sheckler at the Costco gap he measures 14ft to the top of the fence, which is higher than the point of takeoff like Sheckler says. So those two measurements being accurate the leap of faith is higher but not by that much
