Bah. Don't think about it in numbers. It'll make your life ALOT harder. Just do some practice runs NEXT (and I emphasize NEXT) to the feature, to get an idea, and watch other riders who've been hitting the feature multiple times already. Seriously, thinking about it in numbers is gonna fuck around with your head, and make it harder to hit the features with confidence.

You sure about that KC? I thought the wormhole landed you safely in the bar?

Honestly, who the hell gives a shit about your actual speed. Your overthinking this hardcore,man. Just ride at the jump with a speed that you feel comfortable with and that you know will allow you to clear it. After that, just adjust your speed based on the FEEL not the the numbers.

if youre asking specific speeds i dont think youre ready for a kicker that big. its all feel/experience and everyone should scope out features...

You have to test it first..
Try going slower at the beginning and ajusting after..

That's not the smartest thing to do sometimes...not having enough momentum to complete the feature can have disastrous consequences sometimes.

I have to agree with you, that wasnt the brightess thing for me to say lol But you dont want to over clear it aswell cuz that will probably hurt..

It'd hurt, but I'd much rather overshoot and have a chance of landing on some sort of a slope, rather than breaking my knees on the flat.
