how do ya get comfortable doing tricks off of the big air hits? do you just hit them and hope for the best or what? i can hit them but i dont have much control and havent tried any tricks off them yet! Any comments would be great!

dont freak out about it, just go into it knowing u have the right speed and act like its any other jump, and for tricks, just dont do shit as fast depending on how big it is, how big is ur big air hit ne way?

i dunno about you guys but i cant do moves over small jumps. i get scared and dont have the time or controle to get them. im wayy more comfortable over big tables. like 45-60 feet. once you get used to the extra airtime you will become more fluid and you will learn lots of new tricks

yea i know what ur sayin aoe, it just feels better over big jumps too, all slow and smooth, not like little 20 footers where u got less than a sec of airtime

yeah definatly. last night andy lindbeck and jay quinlan were here doing a show. (jay didnt jump he was hurt) and they had a huge 65 foot gap. and i kinda know the dude that was shooting them and he wanted some ppl to do towins so me and 2 of my boarder friends got geared up and signed wavers and shit but they decided they didnt wanna tow us in after. go figure. i woulda loved to hit that too. doin big laid out backflips for a huge crowd woulda been soo awsome.

Just hit a few times doing some grabs and shat to get your speed dialed and feel comfortable with the jumps and then let all hell break loose
