I'm wondering where most people are at:

1 - What can you do given the right jump (not done once by fluke - what CAN you actually pull)?
a)natural?
b)switch natural?
c)unnatural?
d)switch unnatural?

2 - What size and style of jump do you like to push yourself on?

For me:
1a-540
1b-360
1c,d-??? haven't tried yet

2 - I like to try new rotations off like15'-20' tabletops, trying to rotate more off like a bigger step down scares me... Although I think that once I beat this fear I'll start to really learn some good stuff...

So let's hear it: where are you at?

1. considering there is a rail after tyhe jump id say a,b,c and d
2 . 540 variations (like all off them) over decent jumps are teh coolest thing since prince in his purple suit singing purple rain.
3. i can grab my skis sometimes, does that make me cooler then prince?

I like to think about jumps in hang time not length or higth, but for learning stuff, big enough to do it without going too fast but not too much bigger, and i like soft landings. Corn or powder, dry powder if u wanna hit it more then a couple times.

i can do pretty much anything in anyone of those combos except for switch natural. i cant spin swithc the same way as i do normal because i cant look over my left shoulder cause im like 3/4 blind in my left eye. other that that spins come easy to me in pretty much any direction.

oh and for jump size the bigge the better. anything from 50-70 feet for learning new tricks with a nice corn snow landing. plenty of time to complete the trick nice and smooth

Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. She hates guys, Pete lamented, so it’s not going good. Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.

I only spin up to 540 if the distance is under 40 ft. because I like to grab with all of my spins and do them smooth. I like learning on tables hands down, the bigger the better because you have more time. Skiing's not as fun if you're not scared.

Switch Unnatural-I think i've done a 180 lol

2. Really depends. Bigger spins I like 25ft+ tables, no step down tables. For smaller, floaty tricks I like 15-20 foot tables or a nice 15 ft. stepdown.

I learn wierd...I can do a lot of good stuff and can't do a lot of easy stuff...for example, I can do 720s and backflips and misty flips, but I can't slide rails good at all.
