Tanners jump

Hey i just noticed this.... the jump that tanner and those guys were using to hit chads was way huge, and i thought it was pretty unimpressive. Sage was hitting it two years ago with a tiny jump, and he might not have been going switch, but i think its kinda like urban rails, where if you build a big jump its just not as cool. Im not sayin im going to go hit chads switch, but i just thought they should have built a smaller jump

Im not saying i made it bad, im just sayin that if it was a small jump if would have been way coller.... in my opinion at least. i still think tanners a good skier though, just a really gay ass cocky bitch

how is a small jump cooler. it is way cooler with a massive jump. also, you couldn't hit chads switch with a small jump. there is a turn in the bottom of the inrun which takes away some speed so it is hella scetchy. before you bitch people out for progressing skiing try to look at it with an open mind. im sure that if it wasn't tanner you wouldn't be saying this

why wouldnt u want them to go bigger...why not make the jump as big as possible so it looks that much sicker....its nothing like rails...of jumps ur looking for height not how u make a jump so u just clear a gap

I know what you mean about the urban rails, but this is a lot different than urban rails. It's kind of a big deal.

you know what guys? we should just make all of the jumps in all movies tiny. you know, anyone can spin a 9 when they get 2 seconds of hangtime, but i want to see them try to stick that shit over 5 foot tables with no lip. Thats where our sport should be headed

The snow was almost too damn slow to do Chads anyway. Its somewhat of a miracle he made it anyway. They did it in the spring time.

the fact that he didnt make it means that he would have been fucked if it was any smaller.

and if tanner cant do it switch on a jump that big, I serious doubt anyone could do it switch any smaller

umm a bigger jump means you go bigger. Rails and jumps are very different. If anything the bigger jump makes it more imprssive

well the big jump made them go bigger whcih was sick but I guess it made the gap easier but think about it he just did a switch 900 over a 120 gap that if you mess up you die... I say impressive

hitting chads with a 3 foot high jump and sketchy set up really isnt all that safe, check out the footy of it in the media and how many times the guys hit the wall.

shut up... your soo dumb... this place is getting worse and worse everyday... alot of people are right... everyone on this website just talks shit all the time.... no one ever say anything positive because alot of the people on this webiste have huge ass egos... let them go because even if your tanner or a kid just starting to ski skiing is skiing... no one in history has done a switch/cab/fakie who cares 9 over chads... that was the most impressive thing ive seen all year.

Dude, you call him a cocky bitch but discredit him by saying his jump was to big, You are the deffinition of a tanner hater and you want to know exactly what he would say? YOUR JEALOUS, then he would turn his back on you a bust the styliest switch cork 9 you have ever seen. Shut up.

small jumps look amateur, not exactly pro filming quality. they just look better, its not like a narrower jump would have made a difference in the jump, he still stomped switch 5's on it

its the same amount air, who cares if the jump is big or small. same length, same hight, same hang time...it doesn't matter
