How much the jumps are big at the US Open, like 30 feet, 40 feet and 50 feet ? Also, how the heat are choosen, by the last family name of the riders?

The jumps are more like 70-80 ft and the riders are kind of arranged randomly from what it seems like to me.

if the jumps in the US open are 70 to 80 feet then those jumps are far bigger than the X games ones. interesting to moi!

last year the jumps were like 50 to 60 to bigside 75 or 80... then for the big air they made just one lip which was 90... but they were really smooth. but it doesnt matter i dont think the open is at vail this year.

i would say all the big "sides" were 40, 55, and 70 for teh big air jump....the second jump was way too easy to overshoot to be anywhere over 60ft.

if there was a PC open only allowed for utah kids to be in it, the level of skiing would be on the same level as the open cept with an average age of ten years younger.

no offence to copper but at young guns the lift accesability sucked ass.  You couln't find a fast way to get to the park.  I was with Schlopy and we were in line, which took forever, and he almost missed his run for finals.  The lifft attendants wouldn't let him by as well!  Also on that quad there isn't enough room on it so your legs can rest comfortably.  Cool resort bad lifts.

Well this year when i was there kings was like 35 to a 35 to a 45-50 which is much smaller than the normal US open. Two years ago they had like 35 up to 60 in kings, i was kinda disapointed this year.

no see its not tho. b/c the Copper park crew BLOWS. they have a hyped park but all their kickers have rough landings and their rails are all setup really sketchy. While Vails park crew may lack creativity atleast they know the fundamentals of good park maintenance.
