So big that Mankind didn't want to wrestle near it, in fear of losing his first match in the WWE.

i think it might be a bit bigger because i was watching the vid and it looks like the riders in the air are spining realy slow for the 9 compared to tanners 9

dude i've been there while they were measuring. from the kicker to landing its about 122 give or take a few feet for where you build. the original hit by candid was about 120, tanner did like 125-130, but most people do like 112.

if you look at another thread on this, you'll see that thomas diet went biggest-with a 164 foot cork 5. looks pretty easy to me, dunno what all the fuss is about...

leviathan is 145, not 160....

the candide invite jump was 131 ft this year. do the math.

the jump at the invite lst year was bigger, it was between 140 and 150 ft. dont know why they scaled it down.

and as for the format, there are no "winners". its more a session and a rail jam then a competition. Which is how it should be, because competitions turn into spin to wins, just like, oh....the US Open Big Air, the US Open Slopestyle, the X Games Best Trick, JOI, every other competition this year....

thats why WSI will be so sick! theyre the only ones doing anything about this problem
