that winter x needs a version of big air or a step up... like the hip at june but maybe even bigger than that & a jump like the one at the candide invitational?

I would think the reason they dont have bigger hits and shit maybe because of insurance? it always seems like xgames has small jumps eh? Because motoX guys hit like 90ft jumps all the time but the best trick is like a 75ft jump so i dunno but i think its a good idea, kinda like USFO have slope then bigair or something.

I think having a slopestyle with a big air at the end would work nicely.

if they built a jump that was like 140'+ i doubt you would see a ton of switch 10's but then again i could be wrong. maybe they could just invite all the kids that hate the switch 10 for that specific comp. or if not a big air jump have a hip to see who could just go the biggest.

i just think it's kind of gay to only have like 45' tables and nothing else. i would say that over half the kids here would throw down on any of those jumps & for a comp that big i think it's pretty lame.
maybe not half but i know a lot of kids would.

yeah but the jump was like 50'. for big air to work it needs to be atleast 100+ 150 preferably
and like the guy above said it cost a lot of money but they have the money to blow away like that.

they used to have a big air in winter X, but tanner would always win. Plus they would just throw down all the same moves.

yeah, 50 feet isn't big air. It's an average table. I think they need
to add a couple 50 foot tables into slopestyle and maybe a 80 - 100
footer at the end. It'd be like a real run through a nice park.

they should have like a 2 stager for best trick instead of big air so people can get creative and that would eliminate the spin to win shit that everoyone doesn't like very much.
