What do you like better kicker jumps that offer tons of air for floaty tricks?
Or do you prefer a laucher so you can get huge distance?

Personally I like a good kicker.

kicker. but launchers that have smooth transitions are always sick to, i had when someone builds a launcher and they think that to have it launch you the tranny needs to be super sudden

float obviously. if you fall on a floaty jump its not bad. but when ur traveln really far and fall you can twist shit up like legs and knees are vulnerable more injuries on launchy jumps

that is by far the best feeling ever. i'll go with kickers, although a smooth launcher can be fun shit.

I've lurned on launchers,so that's what I'm good on. I die each time I attempt switch tricks on kickers. but I guess this can be learned fast, and kickers are more friendly. So I'm comfused

kickers are better when you have a nice long steep landing, but usually u dont so launchers are good
