Has anyone actually measured how far of a gap chad's gap is? I heard it's about 120 ft., but I was wondering if anyone knew for sure.

You are going to see measurements from 117-121...but really it can depend on where the jump is built, how tall it is, and the depth of the base.

In TBC it shows a messuring tape and it says 112, which def wasnt pyrmid so it had to be chads. Im guessing it ranges from 110-130 depending on how much snow there is. In Tee Time chads gap looked alot bigger than in TBC because there was alot more snow in Tee Time, and TBC is was in march so there wasnt much snow. So it really depends, but its def over 110.

i hiked up there once and stading on top (of where the jump would be) looking to the landing didnt really seem that big, but when you looked at it from a distance it definitly looks huge!

You are talking about Leviathan gap, which is also in the area.

I've seen Chad's measured from 112 in TBC to over 123.

Leviathan isn't 180. I'm pretty sure it's about 140 or so... but it's a lot different than Chads. And it doesn't matter how long it is..... It's big, and that's all that matters. And yeah.. it might not look big, but after you spend 12 hours building a kicker, packing a run in, and then you stand at the top, i'm sure it changes.

Yeah, I guess Leviathan is in pretty bad shape right now, but when the kicker is built up and shit i have heard its at least 160. I'm gonna go look it up.

Sorry, I was wrong, it's closer to 145-150. Depends on the kicker. I'm saying its at least 140 to clear it in any condition.

I think sometimes people forget to look at Vid boxes...Ostness measured all of the gaps(yes they all vary depending on kicker placement)pyramid=90, chads=120...kris measured from the lip of the kicker to the lip of the landing...which means everyone that cleared the gap was going further than the measurements...unless you didn't clear the gap or ended up right at the edge like tanner.
