70+ is for respect. 45-65 for dope sessions. 40 and under for fun.

length doesnt matter so much, as long as the pop is right.

ya a 30 ft jump can feel like a 20 if its not build right. but i think a good sized jump is like 30-40, like if someone says they can 180 they should mean off something like 30 ft not just a little kicker on te side of the run

50's are good when they have the right lip just for learning tricks and such

30 feet it becomes a jump.
50 feet is pretty standard for regular shit.
70 is pretty big
100 is huge
and like my negro said its mostly about pop
stepdowns get a little more respect
so i would say a 45 foot stepdown is a good sized jump

30-45 feet is fun to screw around on.......60 is the biggest that I've hit/spun

it's subjective. a good sized jump is a jump that's big enough to throw down, but not so big you feel uncomfortable. for one person, it may be a 20 footer and for another person in may be a 70 footer. 50-60 feels about right for me.

50ft. step-down, a 40ft. table with good pop, and a 60ft. step-up. It's just the jumps I'd look at and be like, "Wow, that's a good sized jump!"

I have NO clue how big jumps are in feet.
Like someone said there's a 75 footer nad I was like HOLY SHIT 75 FEET IS INSANE
then I looked at it and 75 feet isn't ALL that big.
a good sized jump is something that you can 7without looking hucked

75ft. can be huge man, it depends on the jump and if it's actually that big. But looking at it in the way of a smooth 7 being a good size, that's a good way of looking at things rather than in feet.

I would say 35 and below is small. 35 - 45 is mid sized and 45 + is good sized. I like 50 footers with about a 10 foot step down.

its not all about length... i mean there have been some nast 40 footers i've hit that send you 15 feet off the deck. then some 65 footers where your only maybe 10 off...going almost half as high as your are going long is way different than shooting something long and low.

Yeah yotally. 45 feet is where a good sized jump starts. It's big enugh that not every person in the park is going to be able to hit it or throw tricks at it.

i agree, some small hits feel huge, and large low projectory jumps feel small and tough to get big air off of.
