umm 60- 70 plus, but i like to think of it as a good thing cause, after your first hit, its all up hill from there.

only rails make me nervous. i ALWAYS get the feeling i'm going to wash out, or dig my skis in the front (if there's a gap). it very rarely happens, but the second before hopping on, i get terrified

depends on where i am...on the east coast, 50 can be scary cuz of the hard landings but on the west they dont really scare me up til 60 plus

its gotta be a combo though...doing a 3 over a 30 isnt gonna be bad although a 3 over a 70 may be a bit scary...i actaully kinda had a epithany about 2 days ago and learned to just huck shit on a 40 footer"...feels good not to be scared of what trick you are doing over what sized jump.

I'll hit anything, but I get nervous guinnea pigging thing. I like someone to hit it first so I know what speed I need to carry into it

not one kid on this thread who is talking about 60+ footers has a video on their profile. do you kids know how big a 60 footer is? some people need a dose of reality in their lives. if you are hitting 60+ footers, lets see some shit.

i think most of the people who are on this site a lot are actually pretty serious skiers. most of us have been skiing since we were 2 or 3 years old. just because people dont have videos doesn't mean they've never thrown 60 feet. 60 feet is pretty huge, but certainly not insane for most people here.

i'll strait air any jump out there, but spinning and doing tricks is what makes the adrenaline flow. Id say it gets a bit nerve racking at about 55-60 ft

60 sounds right...
any jump that can really hurt if you knuckle can make you nervous. so who ever said 50 east coast 60 west is probably on it.

the biggest i've ever hit was probably 60, and we have a 45 or so at my hill now, and i'll throw stuff over that. so i'm going to say 65+ is sketchy.

I'm usually hitting jumps that have more kick so they're not as far. But doing 3's off 8ft tall 40ish to where I'm landing gets me pretty nervous.

small tables make me nervous, because i tend to cork my tricks alot and on small tables i get fucked. big tables are less scary because i have more time to flow through my tricks.

id say about 40 feet, but rails arent that bad for me, uless the lip/gap is weird or its really far off the ground.

i've never hit anything over 45, but since i'm in the east, anything over 55-60ish can get sketchy, for me at least. depends on where you are though.
