yeah. That jump was a really shitty jump to begin in the first place. Very poor design. They did not think that jump through at all.

Not the pov one, the one Sammy was talking about. Overshooting would be terrible, but that jump did not look big

I do feel sorry for tanner, but i am slightly disappointed there wasnt video footage of this one. Hearing him shout "BROKE! MY KNEES! MY KNEES ARE BROKEN! BROKEN KNEES! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH KNEES BROKEN MY KNEES BROKEN ARE MY KNEES ARE BROKEN!!!!!" would have made the whole thing worthwhile.

the wedge is huge but the gap doesn't look much bigger than 30 ft from take off to knuckle

which is why its soo sketch. it is a 35ft tall steep wedge, with a small gap, and then a really steep, really short landing that goes almost immidiatly into another takeoff. you have to carry a ton of speed into it to travel all the way up the wedge, but a little too much speed results in an over shoot.


Watch Eye Trip to see how that kinda jump should be built. Jonahs at Alpine crafts the smoothest, safest jumps ever!
