Smooth inrun thats not too steep, long tranny, lots of pop, kind of a table/step down like the PC jumps, nice long landing at a good pitch, and about 50-60 ft.

I prefer medium-to-small sized booter into a steepish landing into powder. That way you can control how big you go by your speed. It also allows you to hit the jump more times (going smaller to bigger) before the landing gets bombed out.

Too steep sucks, but a good 30-33 degree slope is money.

45-50 with good medium/large pop/lip and a long, steep-semi steep landing because you can still throw down big shit but if you crash you wont start to really fuck yourself up.

I would say anything over 90 feet. my ideal jump would have a long loading ramp takeoff that gets you up, with a long landing .

30-40' and small to medium kick...if the jump has a ton of kick it sorta throws my rotation off...i also have trouble with judging the speed for it too because i either case it or overshoot it....
