Jumps and Urban Jibbing

What is it with everyone on this site that complains about anyone with pics/ vid of an urban session that the jump is to big. Automatically everyone looks beyond the skier, looks beyond the level of steeze, looks beyond the jib, straight to, "haha nice huge jump fag". Were not all tanner.. gah it just makes me frustrated

there is a lot of tallent on this site and what impresses the average skier may not impress a lot of people on this site. all skiers have eos and they want to show it. everyone wants to be like "im the most badass skier around right now". well everyone who wants to have a future does

yeah...i dont know....a small jump does show you have a lot of skill..but everybody starts somewhere...when you have no snow and the jump is big..it makes it easier and you might not get wrecked as bad...if you have like no jump with a lot of snow...you might not get wrecked as bad...i think the jump situation just depends on the persons ability and the situation they are given...

so a smaller jump and wrecking your balls is better then a bigger jump and a nice pic with steeze?

In fact, I don't give a shit about how big is the kicker,since the guy on the rail is able to do it. If the jump has to be a little bigger to make the skier confortable, then go for it. someone who can clear perfectly a nice rail with a bigger jump deserves way more props, and I'm sure, has more fun than the one trying to show off by popping on to a rail and then fall off because he is unable to stand on it.

smaller jumps make rails easier for me. coming on to a rail hard ruins my balance.. but everyone's different.

I've always been told that your jump should be no more than "One extra step"

I believe in small jumps, as it just makes the shot of the rail look so much better.

I've always believed in taking pride in the way your features look, rather than just throwing something together that will simply do the job.

But I'm weird.

the size of the jump is very relative the quality of the picture..a huge jump just takes alot away from the rest of the picture.

its all about the size of the jump. its you trying to ollie onto the rail and jib it as natural as possible. the higher the jump the less interesting it is. you want to shred a ride on, go ski park.

solution to everyones problems: if you think the kick is too big for the ego maniacs on here, but don't want to make it smaller because it will not provide any kind of amusement, but also don't want to have to put up with the people on here, choose an agle that does not show the jump so much as the skier, and that makes it look small.

It really makes no difference unless you are trying to make a quality film. Then you will want everything to look as professional as possible. This usually includes a smaller, nicely built jump.

a smaller jump makes the shoots looks10 times better. I mean take a peek at a snowboard mag, the rails pictures looks so much better then in most skiing vid or mag for one simple reason, the jump is ALWAYS on the stair side and the jump is more like a small ass pad

Yea, it does make the rail a bit harder but how would you know if it really his if you never tried it that way???

^how would it be the pad fault?? he crashed the same way last winter when the jump was twice as big. The skier just had to wait and hit some safer rails before hitting a urban rail. On another note, you can loose your stability on a rail even if the jump is as high as the rail and eventualy face plant into the stairs.

If you cant hit the rail with a decent urban jump onto it, then just dont hit it that's quite simple isnt it.

It's like a video game, you can easily beat the gameusing codes but that is consideratedas cheating, my oopinion is that building big jumps for rails that only need pads is cheating.

here is the crash by the way andyea itdid hurt him quite a bit but out of 4 skiers that sessionned the rail for almost an hour, he is the only one that crashed on the rail

That jump is fucking MONEY.

I agree with the small takeoff thing... the big takeoff just makes the skier jump way over the rail, and it looks terrible.

I dunno... I've just always been taught that street rails=small takeoff, and that's just the way it is.

Plus, you can set it up faster that way.

it depends on how much speed u have going into the rail. If u dont have enough speed into the jump u need a little bit bigger jump to get on good.

i think it depends on the lack of speed, if theres not very much speed then I think I big jump is fine, but if you can get the speed to ollie up then do it. Also how steep the rail is.
