yeah and don't ever start from the top of colorado chair and tuck through to hit the first in freeway trying to land on the second landing. bad idea. but the speed changes every day you ski there so some days you may have to straight run into all of them and some days you can carve like crazy.

yeah i strait lined into park lane's last jump for my first 7 of the year about a month ago and overshot it and spun a 9, i hit my head pretty hard

i knew i didnt have to straightline, i just got really pumped for it so i went a little too big

honestly, learn how to hit parks and jumps. I have been hitting and testing every breck jump and have had no major problem for the past 6 weeks. Not to be an ass, but cmon.

i saw atleast 10 people overshoot the last jump wayyyy too much, and probably 5 including me almost get to the flat and totally eat shit, and i saw that one guy getting taken off the mountain because of it. i was doing huge speed checks and still getting more than half way down the landing. i dont know if they changed the jump or maybe its just cause the weather is changing and its getting faster. the past few weeks if you went straight into it and mabye did a little tuck, you would land perfect like right past the knuckle, now if you tucked into that you would be in the flat. so now people who are doing first hits are hitting it like they always have and overshooting like crazy.

Ya but that jump looks like its 20+ feet and it's barely 10.  It doesn't pop you up like it looks.  Lots of kids overshoot it.

Alright I am tired of people backing out of the sale and my econ department is making me pay for my data for my thesis. So I need money. The first one to paypal me $95 (including shipping, Canada will be $10 more) gets these bindings.

Whoops, that was posted in the wrong thread. But the park lane jumps are fine and the last one is not 45 feet.
