Me and one of my friends have found a great place to build a good jump at our ski area. there is a really steep landing and nice inrun to it, and i was wondering if we should build a flatter take off but with more of a gap to the landing, or a steeper jump that kicks you up higher?

if you want to lots of flips, lippy
if you want to do lots of spins, straight out
both? make it a super big gap but super lippy

i like lippy jumps, especially when u have a steep land. u could also build a flat jump right next to a lippy jump...

i might do this if i can find someone that has a bigger shovel. right now i only have a collapsable one. but that could work.

Put tons of boot on it, you get that awesome floating feeling and go higher for the camera. Plus you can take it bigger without as big an overshooting risk. Some places require a flat take off, but whenever It works, I think the more boot the better!

Assuming you have Mega Mo technology set up in a tree nearby I would certainly opt for the Money Booter.  If you don't have access to Mega Mo I would simply build a long launch jump.  The longer the jump/lip the better, this way you can add more lip if you feel its necessary!

build it so the takeoff is at the same angle as the landing. then adjust the distance from the kicker to the landing according to how much speed youre gonna be getting
