Thanks! You know, I was surprised. I won't lie, I was pretty freaked out to hit it...just tried to calm myself and commit. And when I did it, it was actually easier than the smaller jump.congrats! those look like the jumps they used to build at one of my local hills. wish they still shaped 'em like that.
Awesome tip. I'll have to try that this weekend...heading to Holiday Valley for my first ski trip. A couple of times I did the rock horns with that hand haha, but I can see how the extended front leg would make that look sweet.Looks good to me, nice job.
If you want some style tips, you could try taking that front hand that was pointing forward in that first photo and aim to extend it straight up, then push your front leg out fully extended while holding your indy grab.
That will give you a very stylish indy nosepoke, one of my favourite go-to grabs.
My guess was about 15 feet. Website says the jump I hit is 25 & 30 ft (2 separate lips...I hit the smaller one). I feel like I would have been in the air longer. And probably would have crapped my pants. :laugh:Nice job!
That looked like a 12-15 footer to me.
Hahaha. Yeeeeah. The goal is to do a barrel roll eventually. But until I'm super comfortable with hitting 3's consistently, I won't even bother trying it. And I can't hit 3's...at all. It's ugly... :laugh:That's a 15 footer. But you look super solid, great form in midair. Knees were tucked, balanced center of gravity. Very nice.
Keep that up and by next year you'll be throwing triple corks xD
I'm with linvillegorge on this one. That's in the <15 foot range. Still a good size starter jump. But it ain't a 25-30 footerMy guess was about 15 feet.

That's about what I figured. Probably 3 board lengths to clear. Not sure how they measure, but I agree that it isn't 25 feet.I'm with linvillegorge on this one. That's in the <15 foot range. Still a good size starter jump. But it ain't a 25-30 footer![]()
Probably they measure with the same yardstick they use to measure base depth -- which is also usually not as much as they reportThat's about what I figured. Probably 3 board lengths to clear. Not sure how they measure, but I agree that it isn't 25 feet.![]()
YES!!! Hahaha.Probably they measure with the same yardstick they use to measure base depth -- which is also usually not as much as they report![]()
